CHOOSE-2-CRUISE Posted February 7, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hi all, I have just ordered two tuxedos from a company called 'cruiseline formal wear', have you had any experience with this company? are they ok??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesie Posted February 7, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Reserved a tux for both DH and DS. We were very pleased with them last year. It was much easier than packing one. Both tux's were in the room when we got there. Only I must have measured DH for the jacket wrong. It was too big and arms too long! However, immediately we notified our guy and within an hour DH had a new jacket that fit perfectly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingpeople Posted February 7, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I've used them on 3 different cruises. Everything fit perfect. The only problem I found was that the fabric must have a bad reaction to the air in my cabin. For some reason, the pants seemed to be a little tighter by the time 2nd Formal Night Dinner rolled around. :D:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOOSE-2-CRUISE Posted February 7, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Ha! same thing happened to me, all my clothes had shrank by the end of our cruise! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzG Posted February 7, 2010 #5 Share Posted February 7, 2010 DH always rents from them, and we've been very pleased. He is a large man, and he was concerned about the fit, but it's been fine. Minor issues like length of sleeves or hems can be handled onboard. Just be sure to try it on as soon as you can so they have time to fix any problems. On our last cruise he didn't get his jacket back until almost 4 pm of the first formal night, but we're quite sure that was due to our steward who was probably the worst one we've ever had.

Putterdude Posted February 7, 2010 #9 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I pack along my own but lots of people use them and you can't tell the rentals from the owned ones....except over the years perhaps the rented one fit a bit better.;) I purchased mine for two reasons, the first I am a big guy and worry a little about size and secondly we do enough cruising that my purchase has payed for itself more then twice over.

trikeman Posted February 7, 2010 #11 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I've used them on 3 different cruises. Everything fit perfect.

For some reason, the pants seemed to be a little tighter by the time 2nd Formal Night Dinner rolled around. :D:eek: I found out what causes this, if you leave the closet door open a crack so the light can get in it will stop this from happening. It's the dark that makes them shrink. Remember there are no calories on a cruise ship. Just don't eat on shore excursions or you will blow like a blimp.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIPMEOUT Posted February 7, 2010 #12 Share Posted February 7, 2010 DH has rented twice and we've been very happy with it both times. Like others have said, make sure you try EVERYTHING on as soon as it arrives (shirts too). Both times we've had to have the pant length and jacket sleeves altered, but it's been easily done onboard. A big bonus to the rentals is being able to rent the dress shoes as well, which DH said were very comfortable. Men's shoes can add a lot of weight to luggage, so this was a no brainer to rent along with the tux. Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
