so a cruise line has revamped its dress code to help take the stress out of packing for a cruise.
I mean, we all know how hard it is to figure out what to wear on that bi-annual cruise through the Southern Hemisphere. What are we supposed to wear?
The luxury line is streamlining its dress code, paring the options from three to two, one of which is a black-tie option for formal nights. The rest of the time, cruisers can fall back on what is being billed as "Crystal Casual," a dressed-up version of casual attire.
Crystal Casual includes dresses, skirts, dressy slacks and blouses or sweaters for women. Guys can wear either dress shirts and sport coats (no tie required), or an open-collar or collared polo shirt and dress pants/smart trousers.
An in-between option now called elegant casual, that specifies a suit or sport coat for men and includes cocktail dresses for ladies is the category being eliminated.
"With just two straightforward evening attire preferences, we ease the stress of packing and planning, and put the focus on the excitement of the voyage ahead," said Crystal president Edie Rodriguez.
Now THAT, my friends, is compassion.
Packing for that cruise was always a giant pain, now your servants will have an easier time figuring out how to pack your Gucci luggage.
And some think this country is getting worse.
