-Lew- Posted April 4, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2013 can you hire a tux or suit fo formal nights on board star princess... Yes... Cruiseline Formalwear is the company Princess uses for tuxedo rentals. I have used them three times and have had nothing but good experiences. Check out their web site here. Be sure to try on your tux soon after you receive it in case a garment needs to be switched out or adjusted. See your cabin steward for any adjustments.

sminfiddle Posted April 5, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 5, 2013 We rented a tuxedo for my son for our March cruise while I bought one. Sailing out of Galveston, the selection was limited to Black only (but that worked out fine) We got an email saying they didn't have his pants size on board, so they would ship us a pair of slacks to my address Received the slacks in time for cruising, plus he found another pair in his cabin. His fit worked as well as my off-the-rack tux did, and all the formal pictures came out great - and we took a LOT of formals: couples, family, singles, etc. I bought extra cummerbunds and bowties in different colors (cheap on eBay and on clearance), those got used too to change up the pictures and match the girls' different dresses. At the end of the cruise, I envied how he could just leave everything in the closet and walk off scot-free! As it turned out, I left my garment bag in our cabin and we waited at debarkation pre-Customs for it to be walked off to us. That issue won't happen with a rental!

J-D Posted April 7, 2013 #8 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I have had no major problems with the rental tuxes, shirts, and most accessories on Princess ships where I have rented them. However, if you have space to bring your own (black) shoes, I recommend doing so. Those available from Cruiseline Formal are painful to wear -- at least for me. And bring your own black socks!

jff50 Posted April 7, 2013 #9 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Not positive, but it may depend on the port you are sailing out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tak8 Posted April 7, 2013 #10 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I used cruiselineformals for several cruises. Easier than bringing suit. Son and I enjoy the tux look for formal nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpcountryTravelers Posted April 8, 2013 #11 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Renting a tux is fine BUT: you can buy one for less than two rentals. I really don't find it to be a big problem to pack, even when flying to the left coast for our Mexico and Hawaii cruises. (We usually drive to Ft. Lauderdale, so even less of an issue.)
