Renting a Tux on QM2

[NedRyerson57]

Traveling on the Queen in May. I want to look stylish on Formal Nights but don't want to carry around my tux for the previous week in London. What would the general rates be for renting a tux on the ship?

Formal wear rental prices can be found here on the Cunard UK FAQ site.

But since you are from the US, that link won't work for you without resorting to a vpn connection to make it look like you are in the UK. So here is what that page says.

went thru this same thought process and decided for the price I could find a way to carry! You don't HAVE to have a tux ... a dark suit is perfectly acceptable .... and you'll possibly/probably be carrying another jacket already for 'informal' nites (where a jacket is still required . . . )

we drug the extra wardrobe around for 3 weeks including a 10 day river cruise and 3 different hotels and some train rides ..... roller bags baby!!!! Mrs was already forced to carry her long dresses and I a jacket, what's one more?

It will be cheaper to stop into Marks & Spencer and buy a tuxedo.

Thanks for the great advise. Now the question is one jacket or jacket and a tux.

The only trouble with that, he would have to be in Southampton a least one day before sailing, plus they may not have what he wanted?

With many UK clothing retailers, you can now "click and collect" - order on-line and pick up in store next day. Debenhams are not at West Quay, but do it. So do NEXT. I bought my tux in a New Year sale at NEXT a couple of years ago.
