Jeff&Mel Posted July 29, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2014 My husband will be wearing a tuxedo for formal night. Can I wear a cocktail dress with a tuxedo or do I need to wear a floor length gown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 29, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) A cocktail dress will be fine...I've done it both ways! Edited July 29, 2014 by cb at sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted July 29, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I've also done it both ways on cruises. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol louise Posted July 29, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I, too, have done it both ways. Dressy shoes and an evening purse will complement the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousey Posted July 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I don't see where there should be any problem with this.:D The DH has never worn a tuxedo for formal nights but if he did, I would feel fine wearing a cocktail dress. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted July 29, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I saw many women wearing cocktail dresses with gentlemen wearing tuxes on last cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehappycruiserchick Posted July 30, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Of course you can, a cocktail dress is still formal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonecroozin Posted July 30, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yes, it will be absolutely ok to wear a cocktail dress. As with most replies, I have worn both lengths when DH is wearing a tuxedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammen Posted August 8, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 8, 2014 My husband will be wearing a tuxedo for formal night. Can I wear a cocktail dress with a tuxedo or do I need to wear a floor length gown? We also dress very nice for the normal dinner nights, my wife wears a dress every night which she loves to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FawnRiver Posted August 16, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I usually do a cocktail dress, it's easier and you can dress it up with a nice wrap, shoes and evening bag. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurspag Posted August 17, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 17, 2014 As long as the dress is formal, I think you will be fine. Someone else suggested dressy accessories, and I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
