Ah, the age old dress code debate
Spud, I hafta agree with kamy and beano-
We enjoy being able to dress up for the formal nights. It's fun and makes it seem like an occasion. I agree with the whole "it's my vacation" theory, but there are plenty of options for those who don't want to be bothered with formality
I think that's always the picture I had in my head about cruising, that it combined alot of fun stuff with the chance to put on the Ritz a few times.
Our last cruise we saw about half of the men in suits or sport coats on formal nights. The other half was split between tuxes and the theme park casual (ahem!) look. Most of the ladies were dressed up, not always formals, but very dressy pants outfits or cocktail dresses.
My husband will go for a suit on those nights. I will probably have one floor length and one short dress.
I even think guys could were a shirt and tie, maybe a vest , on those nights and not feel out of place. Just leave your bathing suit, jeans, flip flops and wife beaters in the closet those nights
Bottom line, I think attitude is everything. You're on vacation. If dressing up sounds like another fun aspect of it, go for it...it's your night to shine and where else can you get your pix with an equally spiffed up Mr. & Mrs. Mouse
?!
Remember there are other themed nights as well, and you don't have to participate in that , either. Although most folks don't balk and putting on something tropical...kinda like going to a Jimmy Buffet concert
October is a great time to go on a cruise! You can hit all the end-of-summer sales and get some great bargains

But play the game your way, I will.
