Lynn, I really like informal, but formal is not always great. I am not going to get my husband in his tux 3 nights I doubt. He could do the dark suit but so far has not done a formal night on a ship without wearing a tux.
When I meant more casual I meant some cruises that didn't have so many formal nights that were to some of the exotic places. This would be more important in Navigator when you are not just going to try to go to Portofinos all the time.
On Voyager on my cruise, on cc nights, everyone wore informal, and on informal nights, all the women were formal. They always dressed one leg up from the posted. Even the men mostly wore jackets on cc nights. I am certainly not for a big downgrade just the opportunity to not have to go fancy every other night.
