LOL. At a charity event, my DW won a pair of $140 flip flops with Swarovski Crystal set into the straps! I'm thinking she can wear those on formal night.
One serious observation, however. While DCL has posted dress code polices, I never saw anything enforced in any way on our four-day Wonder cruise. In fact, there was a group of four in ratty old T-shirts, cut-off jean shorts and flip flops all havng dinner together in Triton's on the first night. Maybe there was a lost luggage situation going on with that, but I saw many people dressed well below the published standards and no CM ever said a word to one of them. We didn't eat at Palo's, so maybe that's different.
I'm not saying that's right; it's just what I saw in practice. In fact, I think it's inappropriate to simply ignore the dress code just because you don't like it. I know I've seen people post with the, "I'm paying good money to go on the cruise and I'll dress as I please attitude," but if that's your attitude then you should choose to vacation at Dollywood, or something. You might as well take a cruise and then be ticked off about the fact that you have to spend most of your vacation on a boat.
