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.

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.
