It's like a never-ending episode of "Escape the Bathroom: Cruise Edition."

All true stories...

With things such as skirts becoming sails or toupees taking flight, you might witness an impromptu fashion show featuring outfits that Vogue would consider "avant-garde". to put it nicely Remember, it's all about embracing your inner supermodel, even if the runway is the ship's deck. Plus the chances of you running into these people again are slim to none!
