It’s one of those cruise traditions people feel di It’s one of those cruise traditions people feel differently about… We know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but we do enjoy getting the tuxedoes / dinner jackets out onboard! At home we rarely get the chance to dress up smart, so once or twice during a cruise feels fab. Whether others join in or not, we like to think each to their own — that’s the great thing about cruising, there are always plenty of places and activities so everyone can enjoy it their way! Do you enjoy dressing up onboard, or do you prefer keeping it casual? 🐵 #CruiseMonkeys #CruiseVlog #CruiseLife #CruiseCommunity #CruiseAddict #CruiseShips #CruiseHoliday #CruiseTravel #CruiseFun #CruiseFans #GayTravel #lgbttravel #GayCouple #CruiseStyle #FormalNight #CruiseFashion #LuxuryCruise #Travel
