Some people still get dressed up with tuxes and gowns, but you will now find it’s more laid back depending on what ship you’re on, Celebrity is a 5 star cruise line all the way and with its older clientele they tend to not wear too much casual at dinner even on formal night. I need to be comfortable so I wear black slacks and a nice top. My husband wears slacks and a long sleeve buttoned shirt. He used to wear a suit and tie and I used to wear a dress with heels. Can’t wear heels anymore do I also did away with the dress, lol. Pretty much whatever you want to wear is fine but no shorts or flip flops, although I have seen some men get in wearing shorts. Then again, you can also go to the buffet instead of the MDR, We enjoy MDR.
