Dorset Cruiser Posted April 29, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Do Princess offer a hire service for mens formal wear? We are cruising in January on the new Ruby Princess with our son and daughter, their partners and our two grandchildren. The younger men are not into formal clothes. However, we are celebrating a lot of different events; our Ruby Wedding, my DH 60th birthday and retirement and it is also being used as a honeymoon trip for our son and DIL and we do want everybody to dress appropriately. My DH does have formal wear but, if he can hire it, he may do that instead of hauling it from the UK to US. Is there such a service? If so, has anyone availed themselves of it? and if they have, what is the charge etc? Would appreciate some responses. Chris:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Lew- Posted April 29, 2008 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Princess uses Cruiseline Formalwear, Inc. Click here for their web site. I've used them twice, once on a Med cruise and once in the Caribbean, and found them to be excellent. Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putterdude Posted April 29, 2008 #5 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Many of the tuxes that you see on cruise ships are rented and people tend to be pleased with them. One thing that is recommend though is to try it on upon ariving in the cabin so that if there are any glitches it can be looked after right a way.

britsbest Posted April 29, 2008 #6 Share Posted April 29, 2008 We were on Island last week or so ago on which several people's baggage was lost in Terminal 5 and never arrived. Princess lent them formal wear but the ladies to whom I spoke declined to wear them. Crimpoline (sp?) two piece etc. and no shoes. The gents tuxs were oK but the shoes were too narrow perhaps they supplied US sizes instead of UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Shelly97060 Posted April 30, 2008 #7 Share Posted April 30, 2008 we have rented through the cruise line and were really satisfied. My dh went to the local formal wear shop to have his measurements taken professionally, then we faxed the order in. It was wonderful to have the tux waiting in the room when we arrived and then at the end of the cruise have it wisked it away. no muss no fuss. Would recommend the service.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorset Cruiser Posted April 30, 2008 Author #8 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Thanks for the responses. We will probably hire the tuxedos but take the shoes with us. I will be taking my own formal dresses - crimpoline is very 60s - used to wear a lot of it then:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
