Gaijin_Mom Posted September 17, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2009 If a tuxedo is reserved in advance, I'm assuming payment must be made in advance? We have a pretty good OBC right now and it would be nice if it could pay for the tux, but I'm guessing that won't work. Thanks for the help!

CarpeCerevisi Posted September 17, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I ordered a Tux from RCL for my upcoming cruise. The fee will be charged to my stateroom account. Assuming you plan on doing the same you should be able to use your OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiebob Posted September 17, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Thanks for the info--we'll be renting a tux next month. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted September 17, 2009 #4 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Thanks for the info--we'll be renting a tux next month. :) I can confirm that although I ordered my tux in advance, it was not charged to my account until after we boarded. In fact we had a coupon offering a 10% discount on the tux rental and it was honored when I presented it onboard. I was quite pleased with the fit and quality of the tux and the fact that I didn't have to pack my own and carry it across the Atlantic for our transatlantic. Hard enough to pack for that many days without having to add the weight of a tuxedo to our weight-restricted luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monicajay Posted September 18, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Do they rent tuxes on all cruises? We are sailing out of Sydney and hauling a suit from Canada seems a long trip. Where do I find the details. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do I find the details. Thx Log on to your account at RCCL then click on "Deals & Gifts". Click on "Shop Gifts & Gear". Scroll down and Tuxedoes are at the bottom of the page. Click on "SHOP NOW" and you will be able to see all the measurements that are needed before you place the order. :D My husband is being measured properly at a local men's store that rent tuxedoes. That way we will have the correct measurements! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccletzgo Posted September 19, 2009 #17 Share Posted September 19, 2009 The measurement instructions with a diagram showing exactly where to place the tape measurer are on the web site. We did it for DH on our last cruise and the tux fit perfectly. Personally, I wouldn't take someones time at a tuxedo store without using there service. :rolleyes: But then, I am one that would expect to pay a TA $20.00 for finding me a cruise to my liking even when I decide not to use them..;) Oh boy, did I open a can of worms?

I wouldn't have embarrassed my DH without asking before he went into the store. :rolleyes: They didn't have a problem with that (or at least they didn't seem like they did). :confused: I even asked when I convenient time would be for him to go in so we weren't causing any problems. :o I personally wouldn't want to do his tuxedo measuring and then find out once we are on the ship that the tuxedo doesn't fit! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joand452 Posted September 20, 2009 #19 Share Posted September 20, 2009 And make sure the tux is tried on before formal night. My DH has rented twice. No problems the first cruise (although the sleeves were a little long; we just turned them up on the inside), but on the second cruise, he didn't even look at the tux until he was putting it on for dinner. They sent pants that were 10" too small! :eek: It was too late to get new pants for that night (it was tux on top and black dockers on the bottom--no pics that night), but they delivered the correct size well before the next formal night. It was our little secret that night. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pants were OK but the jacket was still too large so he had to wear it like that. It actually was kind of funny. At least for me it was.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerri1jill Posted September 20, 2009 #23 Share Posted September 20, 2009 so does the cost for a tux rental include both formal nights? Or do you pay the charge twice if you use it for both nights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanozak Posted September 20, 2009 #25 Share Posted September 20, 2009 :confused:Hi I asked and received an email reply regarding cost of hiring a tux, but I forgot to ask do we get it for the whole cruise e.g 35 days, or is it just for one night?:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
