Any views appreciated. You will see a mix of everything from formal, to suits, to shirt and tie, to even just a shirt and khakis. Really wear whatever you want to be able to enjoy your evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetravel1114 Posted February 24, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I am going on Indy on July which will be multi generation trip. My brother, dad and hubby will take tux and bow ties while all girls will be in proper dress or gown. Southampton departure, so will be more people dressed up I believe. Hope you have a lovely time.

misty57 Posted February 24, 2019 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2019 We're on Symphony right now. DH did not want to bring any dress clothes so we are going sort of dressy casual every evening. I'll report back on the degree of formality as tonight is the first formal night. If it were up to me we would dress to the nines but oh well.

vistapat Posted February 24, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Keep in mind that many (if not most) women think that men look especially handsome in a tux. Then choose accordingly. Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foz1946 Posted February 24, 2019 Author #10 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I think at approaching 73 years young I might not turn many heads lol, bit beyond becoming a toyboy but I have decided the tux will be in the suitcase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac66 Posted February 24, 2019 #16 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I think how formal one dresses depends on the ship, the itinerary and the time of year. Cruising isn't as formal as it once was. Was on the Oasis in early December and was surprised how casual people dressed for formal night. Very few tuxes let alone suits. Lots of t-shirts and shorts. I wore a suit the first night, then a open collared shirt and sport coat the second. Just got off the Freedom last week and was surprised how many suits and tuxes were worn. I wore my suit both nights but my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary so we would have dressed up anyway. Bottom line is wear what you want without regard to what others do.

I saw no tux but quite a few jackets shirt and tie... Most in kaki and shirt. A few in shorts and tee. Wear what you want.. No one will care.

My husband has wanted to bring his, but we fly in, so the extra baggage would be the only thing to consider. We love dressing up just the same.

Rare kernow Posted February 25, 2019 #20 Share Posted February 25, 2019 We are on Indy in May and will be dressing up. I think cruises out of Southampton are the dressiest, never seen shorts on a formal night on these, we Brits generally love to dress up Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
