A tux is definitely not needed. We have been on 18 cruises (including Alaska) and he has always worn just a dark suit. You will also see many men in a sport coat and slacks. A nice dress or pantsuit is fine for your mom.The best advice for dressing in Alaska is layers, as the temperature can change rather quickly. Rain is also quite common so a lightweight rain jacket is good. Also a hat and gloves, as it can get cold as you're going through the glaciers.
