Formal night question

[S&E]

My DH does not want to take a suit or sports jacket along on our Alaska trip - Aug 27 on the Ryndam. Will he be able to go to formal night with dress pants, dress shirt and tie? Traveling companions are celebrating anniversary on one formal night so I'd like us to be able to attend. Anyone see others dressed this way? Thank you!

You know it would be a good idea for him to put at least a sports coat in that suitcase. I mean if he is willing to take along the tie, dress shirt and pants, why not a jacket. It's hard for me to believe your going to celebrate someones anniversary on formal night and he does not want to dress for the occasion, not only for your friends but the ships formal night. Ofcourse your other choice is to eat in the Lido. Though the formal atire is suppose to be for all venues on the ship for the night, you could get by with no jacket better in the Lido. Just a thought, couldn't you put a jacket in with your packing?

If he doesn't want to take a suit or sports jacket, rent a tuxedo, I forget what the web site is right now, but I have used it in the past and have never been disappointed. Maybe someone out there can help us with the web address. You can order it on-line and have it delivered to your cabin and you leave it in your cabin when you depart. It couldn't be any easier. He could be turned away at the dining room doors, take the jacket or rent a tuxedo would be my suggestion so your not disappointed.

Take a jacket.

 

Special occasion -- he will want to be dressed like everyone else. You all don;t want to end up eating in the Lido on such a special night.

Will he be able to go to formal night?"

Depends on what you mean by "go to", I suspect. If you mean "Will he be able to enter the various lounges, casino, and go to the show?", probably. If you mean "Will he be able to eat in the dining room?", maybe, maybe not.

He won't be in compliance with the minimal acceptable level of dress, and could be denied entry to the dining room. Or, he could slip in. Is that what he wants?

Why not plan on respecting the ambiance of the evening and bring a sport jacket. That way he's ready for any contingency.

Ruth, you rock! In the meantime, I'm just going to make me some popcorn; I love these dress code threads.

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

:D Yup! Less to drag onboard, less to drag home, and he'll still look great & be welcomed into the diningroom or anywhere else onboard for formal nights!

Ordering a tuxedo is a great solution--especially if there is a special anniversary celebration on formal night you want to attend.
