I'm definitely an outsider, with no real understanding of the history
of things, and don't want to rock the boat. I'm just trying to do
what's expected of me in these various areas.
But what's the "special" part? I don't get it. It's a series of
dinners in the midst of an outdoor-oriented trip (Alaska), where
I'll be in boots and technical gear slogging through mud a few hours
before. I've eaten in some of the finest restaurants in the country,
and while most ask for jacket & tie, none have asked for more. Why
is eating on a cruise ship fancier than that? What's the point?
This is an honest question. It just seems like an extra thing to
worry about.
