Betty,

I was catching up on posts and saw your questions about atmosphere on RSSC ships. I haven't been on the Voyager yet, but in our three RSSC cruises on other ships your phrase of "very nicely done but not ostentatious" would fit perfectly. RSSC's service is overall so courteous and competent -- the crew really seems happy to serve and help out, not just in an "it's my job" sort of manner -- and I'm sure you've gotten information about the lovely cabins. We were thrilled with our standard cabin on the Navigator, and my understanding is that the Voyager's are essentially the same.

As far as formal nights, my husband always has taken a dark suit rather than a tux, and he always has fit in just fine. Our experience has been that dark suits outnumbered tuxes on formal nights, although there were a considerable number of tuxes. I do not take evening wear as such, just either a nice dress or a black pants outfit. Basically, formal night feels "dressed up" and festive but not "formal" in a stuffed-shirt kind of way at all.

Ask away with anything else you wonder about!
