Hullheat Fleet is still at sea when formal night runs. Cabin rank buys shade and a quieter berth. The gangway is how the ship meets Tropics. This page is a dock stamp only — the cruise will be its own world later, not another island street.
At sea
Formal night happens on the ship. Once the gangway drops, the dress code is heat and local custom. Day tickets and multi-day boarding stamps live on the same desk. Embark. Strip. Rebook.
Nude sun deck hours, cabin sex, balcony, circuit, and white-party nights are ship business. Tropics only sees the men who walk off.
Gangway
Passengers spill onto the island for the valley wheel, the sack pitch, and Bare Spear week when the pier is painted. A Hullheat launch can still pick a man off Castaway Strands if he can pay the fare.
