I'm aware of only 1 cruise line that enforces a dress code today
and it ain't Disney
DW & I enjoy 'dressing for dinner' so I bring a tux & she a gown for Remy & formal night. On Semi-formal night, I wear a suit & she a dress. The rest of the nights I still wear a sport coat and tie, but that's our preference. We like to make every night a date night.
My wife likes for me to dress for formal night, so I wear a tux. Something happened to the tuxedo that I own, over the years it seems to have shrunk so I rent one from cruiseline formalwear. A little less for us to pack. If they offer it on the cruise, I have recently rented their combo package and have the white dinner jacket for semi formal night.
I would pay good money to see someone try and pull off a suit and clogs. Just saying.When I was on one of my WBTA Cruises (14-nights) there was a family sitting next to my table and the husband wore shorts, t-shirt and crocs for every single meal.

this is our philosophy as well. We dress up to some degree every night, and do the same if we go to a "white tablecloth" restaurant at home.My rule of thumb: If there's white tablecloth then my family must dress up. That means dresses for the girls, pants and a button down with a little jacket or nice sweater for the baby boy, and a dress/slacks and heels for me and a jacket with a long-sleeved button down for my husband. My husband packed one jacket and wore it each night.
I dressed my family for dinner every night, and I have to say, we looked good, felt good, and the kids acted good!
If you don't regularly dress up at home, then do so on this very, very special vacation. You can wear slacks to dinner any time at home, but how often do you dress your family up in honor of a meal together? Make the moment special!
Probably the better call. The water shoes would look a bit more stylish, but Crocs... Crocs are as comfortable as they (the original clog style) are ugly.You should meet my dad. One cruise, he had his tux and dress shoes - except when he went to put his shoes on, they didn't fit. He ended up wearing his bright orange crocs with it because they were the only shoes he had that would fit (other than his water shoes).
Do men need to wear a sport coat for formal night or would slacks and button up shirt be ok?
