Please check your facts...........

"Do I have to dress for dinner every evening?

One of the great thrills of a Cunard voyage is the sheer glamour of the evenings. Generally, evening dress may be either formal, semi- formal or elegant casual when your ship is at sea, and semi-formal or casual when your ship is in port. There will be a maximum of three formal nights in a week. Evening attire for the ship's main restaurants, effective from 1800 hrs (6:00 pm), will be specified on your ship's Daily Programme.
Please refer to the below-listed dress code descriptions:

Formal:
Black tie or formal dark suit for men. Evening dress or other formal attire for ladies.

Semi-formal:
Jacket and tie for men. Cocktail dress or trouser suit for ladies. No jeans.

Elegant Casual:
Jacket, no tie required for men. Dress, skirt or trousers for ladies. No jeans or shorts."

In practice, the Tuxedo is the most commonly worn garb by men, or at least it was when we travelled, did you not find the same thing? were more men in dark suits?

Even on RCI which is less formal, on formal nights the Tux was more in evidence.

Have been on Cunard 4 times, TBH didn't actually count who was wearing what. First time, I just took a dark Lounge Suit, didn't feel out of place at all.
Last time on QM2 I took full Black Tie outfit, BIL took Lounge Suit - I did let him sit at our table though !
