She was right. Many passengers felt free to ignore the dress guidelines. Some took it to the limit. One group unapologetically wore cutoffs and tank tops to dinner. On formal night, when tuxes were prescribed, the men put on polo shirts and chinos.
Destination is the ship Some people say the real destination on any cruise is the ship.
I can't argue with that. In Ocho Rios, my wife gamely climbed Dunn's River Falls. In Grand Cayman, she fed virtually tame stingrays and we dodged heavy traffic walking up and down the main drag in the not very scenic port area of Georgetown. In Cozumel, we could have bought Mayan ruin excursions but chose to do very little. In Key West, we visited the John J. Audubon home, the Hemingway house and ate killer key lime pie.
