One more question...

So by that logic leaving on Friday and arriving on Saturday would be a two day sail? ;)

Certainly, Friday is day 1 and Saturday is day 2, provided you leave early enough on Friday and you arrive late enough on Saturday and it's 2004. (That NYC to St Maarten jaunt took 2 days 14 hours, and it was all down hill.)

I still have the large brochure on all the cruises available in 2005. They did list a "casual" night where men needed just nice pants & dress shirt with tie(or sweater)optional.

I kind of wondered why they "stiffened" the dresscode a bit from that point on.

QE2 stopped doing regular transatlantics and her frequent passengers, having moved to QM2, complained about low dress-code standards on her new, bigger sister, would be my guess. Certainly there were "casual" (no jacket) nights on my first QM2 TA in 2006, but they had vanished by 2007 (if I remember correctly).

I'm sure you are correct. One point of view shouted louder than the other.
