I recently went on a carnival cruise and was appauled at the lack of the dress code enforcement for supper. It clearly stated no flip flops or shorts. With an understanding that you take your ball caps off at the dinner table. That is just common manners. But there were so many guys (all the ladies were in dresses) in flip flops and ball caps and shorts that I was disgusted every night I went to supper. It is only a couple of days on the cruise and guys can't get dressed up just for 5 days to be with their ladies? What happened to manners and dignity? No one enforced the dress code policy at all. Why even have one if you are not going to enforce it?
No I am not some old miser. I am 43 years old and raised with manners and discipline. I am a former Army Ranger and discipline is a big thing to me. If you can't dress up for your lady just a couple of days of the year (and she gets dressed up for it) than she doesn't deserve you. Have some dignity.
Is there a cruise line that actually enforces the dress code policy? I have been on 9 different cruises and this last one just made me not want to do carnival again. Any suggestions?
