I understand what you mean about formal nights and respect the opinions voiced.However as an office manager in the UK (aged 36 so not THAT young) who spends 50+ per week dressed in a suit I fail to see why I should have to wear one for 'informal' nights (though of course now I will). What's 'informal' about wearing a suit?Understand for formal nights a suit is obligatory and I respect that but having to wear one sort of suit or another for 5 nights out of seven is not my idea of relaxation, especially as this is my honeymoon! It is possible to be well dressed without a suit jacket.You may be able to buy a tux in the US for the equivalent of '3 bills' (currently around £170) but you certainly can't in the UK. It would cost me that to hire one for 7 nights.Wish I had read this website earlier (we travel on Celebrity Infinity out of Vancouver to Alaska 5th September for anyone joining us) I'm sure my new wife and I will have a great time but I may well have chosen to travel with a company with a slightly more 'liberal' attitude to smart dress..Travelled with Costa lLnes around the mediterranean last summer and suits were heavily evident which is great. However, as long as you were smartly dressed there was no issue. Not wishing to open up a large can of worms but is this an age thing? The only time I see a suit worn in the UK by anyone under 60 is for work, weddings, christenings and funerals.
