what's a "tie" ? - Oh yeah, burned those about 35 years ago. I think I might have one somewhere back in the closet - the last time I wore one it seems like on our first cruise on Princess - 2007 Diamond Princess to Alaska - Suit on Formal night(s), and Sport coat and tie on casual nights. Next cruise in 2010 - left the suit at home, took the sport coat, but no tie.
