It’s simply a matter of respect. An utter disregard of the cruise line’s policy and guests who abide by them. And, being disrespectful to those who enjoy what little formality SS does offer is just not classy.
What I don’t understand is why people choose to sail a cruise line that makes it very clear they will have a formal night of dining in a couple of venues on a particular night on the Classic ships and people come here on CC to whine, moan, and complain about when they can’t wear whatever they want in those particular venues for that particular evening.
if people don’t like it, there are literally dozens of other cruise lines you can sail and wear whatever you like. So, as you can imagine, I completely reject out of hand the Jazzy Host’s statement. Why? Because SS would already be out of business by now.
