When and Where is "Cruise Formal" Optional Feature Article Discussion Forum

We have a had a tremendous response to our "Optional Formal" survey running on our site. We've been running the survey since October 19th, and as of today, here are our results:

What do your think of "Optional" formal nights.

* I prefer the ambiance when everyone is dressed up (33%, 22 Votes)
* Its Great! Now I don't have to pack formal clothes! (23%, 15 Votes)
* It is fine as long as the minimum is enforced: ie no jeans, tank tops, shorts (20%, 13 Votes)
* It is fine as long as they have a formal requirement for certain venues (9%, 6 Votes)
* It really doesn't change anything because the dress codes were never enforced (8%, 5 Votes)
* I'll still dress up, but it doesn't affect me at all if others are casual (5%, 3 Votes)
* I hate it because it makes me seem pretentious for going through the trouble of dressing up (2%, 2 Votes)

Total Voters: 66

We plan to run the survey for a few more weeks, but currently you can see that we've gotten a wide variety of responses. As cruise lines have been seeking to appeal to wider spectrum of perspective cruises most cruise lines have been seeking to appeal to both those who like to dress up for formal nights and people who don't want to dress up. …

I actully voted "I prefer the ambiance when everyone else is dressed up."  but in the real world I know that really doesn't happen.  I try to choose cruises where the majority of people will be dressed up and just live and let live for everyone else.
