Actually the pic I found is a Navy Mess jacket. The cruise ship uniforms are identical though just different epaulets and buttons. I actually had one of these about 22 years ago for my kilt when I got married to my first wife. Hence why I don't have any pics.
I picked it up at a store in Miami, paid around $60 for the jacket and they did the sleeves for free. I found white braiding for the epaulets and I replaced the gold tone buttons with kilt buttons. It work fantastic with my Black Stewart kilt. The guys in the shop thought I was nuts but they sold it to me. Unfortunately it stopped fitting about 10 years ago and I gave it away.

Well the kilt would have been better than those white shorts they always wore
