I was watching a video for a cruise and there was an army officer in his ASU. I thought it weird. Although I joked about during this with my wife, I&#39;m pretty sure I wouldn&#39;t do this.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>One of my bigger mistakes. On our first ever cruise, there was a scheduled Tux night. Ever being cheap, vowing never to buy one, I packed my dinner dress sans cover and gloves. It worked for about 20 paces as people were stopping me and asking questions about the ship. My wife wanted a photo op with the ship&#39;s Skipper. OK. Told him I got stopped about 10 times and he just lamented &quot;welcome to my world&quot;. Good laugh. Copious alcohol soothed the pain as the evening went on. It did score us an invite to the Skipper&#39;s table for dinner later in the cruise. Got interesting as the JO&#39;s aboard started a discussion on which Captain was funnier. I won mostly because they heard their Skipper&#39;s jokes before. Thank you cards were later sent with the one coming my way thanking me for taking the heat off him for one night. Good times.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Most cruises have a formal night. I wore mine for that night and that night alone. There was a second night it would have been more or less appropriate. I stayed in that night.<br /><br />Ultimately, there is nothing *wrong* with it. But it did make me a bit of a spectacle, as <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="565751" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/565751-510x-civil-engineer-corps-i-e-seabee-officer">CAPT Kevin B.</a> mentions. Up to you if you want to be a spectacle.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I wore my uniform on a cruise ship - the Cunard Princess, tied to the dock in Bahrain. It was an R&amp;R spot for DESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM and I didn&#39;t have any civvies, because it was a deployment. But, I digress... <br />No, do not wear your uniform

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My wife asks me to bring my ASUs when my family and I cruise in order to wear it on Formal night for the photos. I&#39;m enough of a tight wad (and my wife understands) that these photos count as our annual fancy dress family pictures. Plus, I paid enough for the dang things that I at least want to wear them once a year, if to just see if they still fit.<br />You do tend to get a lot of questions when wearing them, and you usually get to trade jokes with the ship Captain when he bumps into you.
