OCruisers Posted August 30, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Do many men wear a tux ... or even a coat & tie ... for Formal Nights on Oasis/Allure? No problem ... DH has a tux ... just wondering ... :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted August 30, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Just returned from Allure. Didn't see many tuxes at all, but most men wore suits or jackets with a tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalDiamond Posted August 30, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Count me out.....I just wear nice slacks and a collared shirt, no tie. If dressing up is your thing, by all means...go for it. If not, don't sweat it. I wear a tie at work, so I don't like to when I'm on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puffinater Posted August 30, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 30, 2011 You will see all types of dress. I think we are seeing fewer tux than we have in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lv2cruisgrl Posted August 30, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 30, 2011 We were on Oasis last year and a few had on a tux but most had suits, we travel with another couple have a tux and always wears them. Love a man in a tux!! You can't go wrong with either. Our motto is better to be over dressed then under dressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted August 30, 2011 Author #9 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Very much appreciate the replies! Here's my bottom line question: My DH will either take his tux ( rather wear than his normal suit or sports coat & tie) ..... or ..... a golf shirt with dress pants Which do you suggest he take for Formal Nights -- Tux or the more casual shirt w/dress pants?

arlodog Posted August 31, 2011 #10 Share Posted August 31, 2011 IMO a golf shirt is not what you wear for formal night. A dress shirt and tie would be fine if he doesn't want to bring the whole tux or a suit. You asked!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no problem bringing his tux (needs at home for certain things) which he had rather wear than a shirt & tie. He'll either dress formally with a tux or go resort casual. We've been cruising for a very long time. What folks are suppose to wear for formal nights but what they actually wear are different NOW. Just trying to find which would be best for Oasis/Allure.

sherilyn70 Posted August 31, 2011 #12 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Stop caring what everyone else thinks and wear what you'd prefer. If you're only bringing the tux to confirm then go with the resort casual instead... there are no rules against wearing that to formal night.

NeuroQueen Posted August 31, 2011 #13 Share Posted August 31, 2011 We were on the may 28th sailing of the oasis and were pleasantly surprised at how nice everyone looked on formal nite. There were a few men in a tuxedo but more were in a suit or nice slacks with a sport coat. There were also several in slacks and polo shirts. We certainly don't let it bother us what people wear, and usually don't even notice, but did this time because everyone looked so nice. Have a great time!!!

If this is truly the case, that he has no problem bringing the tux, then that's what he should do. Most men on Allure last week wore a suit, and at the very least, a jacket and tie. Resort casual was definitely in the small minority. As someone else said, it's better to be overdressed (tux) than underdressed (golf shirt and slacks).

OCruisers Posted August 31, 2011 Author #15 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Thanks All! He'll just take his tux! This will be great for him! :D Honestly, he wishes EVERY night would be formal so he could take a Caribbean cruise with only a tux and a bathing suit :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieV Posted August 31, 2011 #16 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Love your husband's attitude! I'd definitely dress up versus down. There may not be a "rule" against it but it's not really in the spirit of the evening to dress casually on a formal night, whether they enforce the "suggested dress" or not. And men in tuxes are so handsome :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
