Never been on a cruise.....Looking at going on a Celebrity Cruise this summer.

My question is on the formal nights are there more people in Tuxs or Dark Suits.

That depends when you cruise.

In the winter more then half the men wore a tux. Probably due to more older people who cruise a lot. This past February on the Summit I was amazed at the amount of men in a tux.

In the summer more men in dark suites. Younger crowd more younger families.

A dark suit is fine. My husband always wears his tux and I enjoy the opportunity to wear an evening gown. Go with your instinct and as long as you are "dressed-up" you will feel just fine.

Celebrity has more tuxedos than any other mass market line. If you are in the Carribean you can opt for a white dinner jacket, especially in the summer. The old eastern seaboard rule of black before Memorial day and after Labor day doesn't really apply in the tropics. A dark suit is ok but Celebrity is more refined and dressier which is the reason we prefer Celebrity.

I wear a tux. Only time I will ever have a chance to do it (other than a wedding) and my wife loves it. She wears a gown as well.

That said, a lot wear dark suites. It is what you can aford and what you want to do.

Have a great time.

On Celebrity cruises in Jan. last year & Feb. this year it looked like half the men were wearing tuxes. Roy was glad he rented a tux on the Horizon - he looked fantastic! I have no idea how it happened, but we had the best table in the dining room - right in front of the musicians.

There were more dark suits than tuxes on the Millennium on our cruise. My husband rented the tuxedo from Celebrity. He didn't have to bring a suit which helped with the packing (more room for my stuff LOL) and he looked so handsome. I have the formal night picture to prove it.

We are going on a 7 night on the Summit in June - do you know the cost of renting a tux? Also a little bit off topic but do the TVs in the inside rooms have a/v jacks on them to watch video we've recorded or plug in the ipod to listen to some music at night?

TIA!

We are also Celebrity Cruisers, I have worn dark suits on our first cruise, the next one I'm renting a tux from Celebrity, I think it will be a lot easier because I won't have to pack my suit, just a Sport coat.. I'd say the percentage was more than 50% tuxes.
I think it is $85 to rent from Celebrity, with 2 shirts.

Although I thought I would hate it, I actually like doing the tux. Bought a cheap one mail order, and I wear it on cruises only.

Either is fine--but I have lovely gowns and hubby is handsome in his tux (or dinner jacket) so why not take this opportunity to dress up?!! You will have a wonderful time!
