you don't have to go out and get a tuxedo or a formal evening gown unless you really want to

your cruise is your cruise if you don't want to dress up for the evening then you certainly don't have to

for five to six days there will be one formal night for 7 to 13 days two formal nights

Dine outside the main dining room if you choose not to dress up
Use a plastic dry cleaning bag and wrinkle releaser for packing formal wear
