NO! You have the option on many cruise lines. If you choose a ship that offers choices, you may wear slacks and a collared shirt (no jeans or T-shirts allowed in the dining room) any time. If you like to (or if someone in your party likes to), there are formal nights. It IS nice to see your party all dressed up one night for a photo.
