Cunard dress code

[guernseyguy]

Having dress regulations might sound stuffy but they work brilliantly on an ocean liner, where guests in formal wear add to the sense of occasion.

 

Sums it up nicely - from a review in The Age Australia of the QM2's recent voyage:

You might enjoy Oceania. They are country-club casual all the way. Or Regent Seven Seas. Depending on the itinerary, not as dressy. There are other luxury lines that are not all about dressing up. Another one is the (old) American West Steamboat, now Majestic Line. Beautiful trip on the inside passage to Alaksa. Again, country-club casual.

The reason why Cunard has only a few first class ships is the same reason why Tiffany's has fewer stores than Wal-Mart. There are simply not that many people left in the world that appreciate the finer things in life and are willing to pay a premium for them.

 

Well said!! Same can be said for Crystal, also with only two ships. Now if Cunard would only replace the late, lamented Caronia with something of similar size, it would be great and they might lure me back!
