Sadly, that’s changing everywhere. I have been on about 5 cruises. Early on (before 2010) before standards had been relaxed - it used to be coats and ties in the dining rooms but that was reduced to just a sport coat. Anymore, pretty much anything gets you in the dining room. They also had “formal nights”, and most men were either in tuxedos or a suit (not sport coat). I kind of liked those - they were like a “date night” on the cruise.
Also known as a “Wife Beater” shirt!
I was trying to be politically correct. 
I hung out with a lot of Italians and we called the plain white ones Dago Tee’s.
@kcflyer - I, also, loved formal nights at sea. When Celebrity Cruise Line had formal nights (two or three per cruise depending on length of the cruise) it was the dress code for the entire ship after 6:00 PM with the exception of the deck that had the pool and buffet dining area.

If on Delta One going to Europe, I’ll change into PJs. Is that bad?
Is anyone else old enough to remember when a long distance trip by train was a wonderful experience. Back in the fifties my father took a train from Penn Station in New York City, when it was beautiful, to a medical convention in California. That train had a beautiful dining car which served very good food, an entertainment car where a live band played nightly for dancing, and sleeper cars. Those train trips were like being on a cruise.
Baggage? We don’t need no stinkin’ baggage.
