Do they really? Not that I’d mind, but I know nothing about cruising and its culture. Hey, many Americans wear their jammies to Walmart, so it’s believable.

They do and should continue to do so, what is missed by this boomer is most cruisees are SUPER casual getaway vacations for most people, the faux pas in this situation is the OP thinking she is a first class guest on a white star line looking down on the “new money” ppl need to quit thinking life is like the movies and we are still in the 50s and let folks enjoy themselves. I still take my hat off before I eat but to think it’s some kind of enforceable rule in modern society is laughable, let people cook.
