Joseph……yes it is worse on a cruise.
Years ago, cruises were more formal. Passengers would either change for the swimming pool in locker rooms adjoining the pool or wear full robes when going from the cabin to the pool. Now, passengers will walk the gangways in their bathingsuits with a towel thrown on their shoulders…totally inappropriate. Mrs. CTL and I stopped cruising in the early 90s because of this. Never mind, the tank tops and short shorts now allowed in the dining rooms.
We started cruising back in the 70s when the QE2 had a full kosher kitchen and there was an acceptable dress code on board. PLUS there were no electronic room keys. Nowadays, we can’t handle 14 deck ships that are 3 football fields long and call a Shabbos navigating that enjoyable
