Kraeaus Posted June 25, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2006 My husband and I are sailing on the Island Princess on July 10th. We were wondering about the 2 formal nights. My husband has a suit, as well as a tux that he could wear. Is there anyone who has ben on this cruise that could give us an idea about what most of the men wear on formal night (tux, suit, or shirt and tie.) Thanks!!!

LARGIN Posted June 25, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Tux's and dark suits were the norm.. I see no problem wearing either. Whatever makes your hubby feel comfortable will be OK.. Myself, I prefer a tux as I have a found out that a man wearing a tux during dinner has way more fun after dinner :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquieP Posted June 25, 2006 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2006 We were on the Island in May and saw both tuxes and suits, but I think there may have been more tuxes. Either would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Caroline Posted June 25, 2006 #4 Share Posted June 25, 2006 If packing is a consideration which it always is for us with airline weight limits my DH will be going with a dark suit next year so can wear the trousers other nights... last year on Diamond there were few tuxes...

cruisinclergy Posted June 25, 2006 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2006 When we cruise, I take a black dbl breasted suit with tux shirt, studs/cuff links, 2 bow ties, and cumberbunds. You have to look pretty close to see it's not actually a tux, especially when the lights are low. That way I don't have to rent or buy a tux that I'll only wear once or twice a year at most. My black suit I can wear throughout the year. I still feel "very formal" and have the option of wearing the trousers alone on other nights. (tip - you can buy a tux shirt from the rental stock of formal wear stores....they're laundered, pressed, and very reasonable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italy52 Posted June 25, 2006 #6 Share Posted June 25, 2006 We sailed the Island to Alaska on May 22-29. DH had a tux and wore it for both formal nights. I would have to say that I saw about 50/50 (half tuxes and half suits). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
