HI URB!!Your points are well taken but...(Isn't there always a but???) Formal dress is a touchy subject on these boards. A lot of folks who come here are "newbie cruisers" and they are shocked...shocked that you would have to dress up in a suit never mind a tux. They are shocked to find out that Celebrity is a more refined type of cruise and that people actually dress formally. Opinion is split 50/50 on the subject. The trend towards casual has left a lot of pax wondering how to handle a Celebrity cruise. Some pax want a more refined experience and some pax want all the refinement of an X cruise but they do not think that they should have to bother dressing up. Example: I read a post by a lady who said that her husband dressed in a business suit and that only 25% of the pax dressed in tuxedos. I was on the exact same cruise and counted well over 50% dressed in tuxedos at the late seating.I am sure that your above comments will probably ellicit some negative diatribe that will go something like: "It's my cruise and I don't see why I have to have a tuxedo...blah blah blah" ;All that being said...You are right!!! You can buy a tux for about the same money that it takes to rent one. ROSS
