Uniforms for passengers

23rd June 2004, 07:44 PM

We have all seen dress military and other uniforms on formal nights.

When is it proper for a yacht Captain to wear his informal uniform on a
cruise ship as a passenger? When is it not appropiate?

Its appropriate if he is related to "the Skipper from Gilligans Island"
but inappropriate for others unless its comedy night :-)

Informal on formal?

I don't get it.

The private yacht Captains up here in Newport .. and we have plenty of
yachts.... BIG ONES....wear standard blue blazers with white or khaki trousers
and pinpoint oxford shirts and boat shoes (no socks!) for off-ship social
events. It's the "uniform". In the event they are attending a formal function
at one of the yacht clubs,,, such as the New York Yacht Club summer home
here.......they wear tuxedos... as stipulated by the invitation.

If the ones with the white pants wore white patent leather shoes, they
would look just like those gentlemen hosts?

Not me man. I'm the dude who doesn't wear dead white shoes or slacks,
unless they are jeans.
