Cruise ships have rules regarding dress, particularly at dinner in the main dining room. On formal nights (maybe three on a voyage) accepted dress is tux or suit for men, formal dress or pantsuit for women. Other, nonformal nights; dress slacks and collared and cuffed shirt for men, likewise one step down from formal night for women (I think the term is "smart casual"). There are always a few "smart casual" dressers on formal nights, and I don't think anything is said, but it is totally offputting when a few jokers insist on attending formal night dining in cutoffs, t-shirts and sandals, or some other like attire. We all knew, or should have known, the dress code rules before ever setting foot on deck. Cruise lines don't keep them a secret.
There are always a few skunks whose idea of fun is disrupting a picnic.
Those golf course dress codes are here for a reason, and nowhere is it written that we have to understand or agree with those reasons before we abide by the dress codes. We knew them before we hit our first ball.
Don't be a skunk.
