Ah, but one of the joys of cruising is breaking out in your best attire (I bought a tux just for cruising) and walking around the ship with your partner arm in arm. Call me a softy, but it is so romantic. And it gives my wife a reason to spend $$ even before we leave on a new dress! For a cruise, I allow the expenditure. (Yeah, like I have anything to say about it LOL)
