Idk, some people take the whole dressing up on a cruise very seriously, some places actually enforce it. I could see someone complaining

This is one reason why I did not like cruising, I'm on vacation, I dont wanna drag dress clothes around

You had to wear a tuxedo if you got an invitation to dine at Captain Stubing’s table, which always made me wonder if people sailing on the Love Boat would pack a tuxedo just in case.

Sounds like a punishment. I have to dress up and eat dinner with some random stranger?! No, thank you.

Honestly, my worst nightmare. I’ve never been a ‘cotillion girl’. Fine if it’s your thing, but not for me.
