Do any men still wear Tuxedos?

[Atty]

I was wondering if any men still wear their Tux on the "elegant" nights? I'm sailing on the Splendor on July 31 and am wondering whether to bring my tux. Any recent observations would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

On my last cruise I only saw a handful of men wearing a tux. The ones in rental tuxes looked exactly like that is what they were wearing. If you are going to wear a tux it should at least fit properly.

I always wear one on both nights, just wear different ties and shirts

I love seeing guys in tuxes. If you're willing to pack it, then go for it. Very classy!! :D

I do the exact same thing. I look good in my tux and makes DW very happy so inturn I am happy.

On Celebrity Cruise Line, there were plenty of tuxes. I don't see much on Carnival or Royal Carribean. I don't own tux so I wear a nice dark suit otherwise I'd wear a tux.

My husband will wear his tux a couple of evenings, other nights he will wear his dress blues. The last night on the ship he will wear a sport coat and tie.

I wear my WDJ (in my avatar photo) on the first night, and my Black tux on the 2nd.

[Cigar Dude]

YES! (the cool one's do!) :D

 

See pic in signature below! :o

Hand full is best guess. Sent mine to Goodwill couple of years ago and go with a sport coat and open shirt at most and only on E nights.

Yes absolutely!

I wear my dinner jacket and my tuxedo when we are cruising. I am not alone, despite what the slovenly on these boards will post. Account space and weight limitations in our baggage, I will only bring my tuxedo on our TA cruise.

I bought a full tux just for cruising ! I don't really care what others do.

the less, the better for you. they are head turners. so are uniforms.

My husband still wears his tux. He loves wearing it even though it isn't as common place anymore. I say go for it.

My husband just did the same thing. He saw what I was planning to wear and decided to match me, elegant for elegance.:D

I wear a tux on elegant nights. You can get a nice one for under $100 on amazon or other sites so price isn't the problem. It is the first thing packed for any cruise.

[Sevencruiser]

Those that wear a tux on elegant night do it because they want to, (or S.O. made them), but regardless the idea is that it is an opportunity to go "all out" for a special occasion if you want to. You fit in if you do, and you fit in if you don't. Just follow CCL's rules (no T-shirts etc.) and have fun with it. I like to wear a tux, and fortunately got a nice fitting rental from the ship for our 20th annv. cruise. My opinion is, the more formal the better, but I understand it's everyones vacation, so have fun!

[reiflshots]

I always wear mine. I have had a few stupid comments, but I always reply "I will never see you again so why would I care what you think." I like to look good even if other people do not.

[jnky]

I do the exact same thing....WDJ on first night/Black on second night.

I AM, however, contemplating not bringing them for the first time ever in Sept on the Liberty. Not sure how I feel about it yet, but this time we might just take it more casually than before.

 

Time will tell :rolleyes:

I do.

[Carnivalcruiselady]

Yes they do but I noticed less and less men wear them on Carnival nowadays. Wish we can go back to the old days when alot more people got dressed up and it was a 'real' Elegant night.
