The Surprising Reason Why You Shouldn’t Wear Camo on a Cruise Ship

Wearing your favorite old pair of camouflage shorts on a Caribbean cruise could put a real damper on your vacation.

Many of the cruise-friendly Caribbean countries have camouflage as their military uniform and so it’s illegal to wear it in these countries.

    I realize you’re speaking from a position of ignorance, but yes birds can see orange. Even the states I checked nearby have an exception specific for waterfowl. It’s also the reason their hunting seasons don’t overlap.

    From the Wisconsin DNR:

    When and where a firearm deer season (listed on page 3) is in progress, it is illegal to hunt any game, except waterfowl, unless at least 50% of the hunter’s outer clothing above the waist is colored blaze orange or fluorescent pink.

        Yeah, it’s a confidently incorrect situation for sure. That said, I agree with it being weird to wear camouflage if you’re not in the military or hunting. It’s kind of a poser thing to do. Like wearing a Harley Davidson shirt and not having a motorcycle.
