Don't forget to check out What to Wear on a Cruise and What To Pack for a Cruise for some specific suggestions on how to dress comfortably throughout your cruise.

For the most part, these dress code guidelines apply only to the dining rooms, not the rest of the ship.

And if you absolutely refuse to change from flip-flops and a t-shirt, in the evening you can always order room service.

These guidelines would apply to most resorts as well, except on land they don't schedule formal nights.
