Seabourn is evidently changing its dress code to be more like Regent’s. The web-site now says,

“Formal Optional: While Elegantly Casual is always appropriate during the evening, a Formal Optional evening will be provided for guests who wish to dress more formally at least once each seven days.”

This is a change since formal was required in the main dining room on formal nights. According to a thread on cc this new code will go into effect in October. Elegantly Casual on the web-site is defined as a jacket for men. We are cruising on the Sojourn then so we will find out how people interpret this change. I guess the change is to help attract newer people and fill the new ships.
