Richard,
Was there a difference to your poll answers along gender lines? I mean, did more men want fewer formal evenings, and more women want to retain formal evenings?
Just curious. "In general", I read many posts on CC where some of the wives/girlfriends complain that their husbands/boyfriends shy away from dressing up, where the wives/girlfriends seem to enjoy it. Wondering if that showed up in your results here.
I, being female, enjoy dressing up once in awhile so I would probably vote to retain formal nights where they already exist. But, I must admit, our cruise to Alaska in June will only be our second cruise so I do NOT speak from experience!! And there are no formal nights in Alaska.
