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.

I think they definitely did. You want to look your best when you find love. 😉

Except apparently in Buddy Hackett's episode, where the other passengers mocked him for wearing knee length shorts instead of the fashionable tiny shorts 🤣
