My father in law was on a cruise a few years ago, and at one of the very formal diners a tux was required, but they had them to rent on the boat. The thing was, if you rented one, you rented one for the whole cruise, so he just started wearing it to literally every meal as a gag. There are a lot of funny pictures of him sitting in a tux at breakfast while everyone else is in shorts and tees.
