pugmadkate Posted December 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 26, 2018 My husband would like to wear his tux on NYE on our cruise. Do people do that or would that be too formal? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovefuninthesun Posted December 26, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 26, 2018 We are ready to set sail on our 4th New Year's Eve cruise -- each year there are people that look lovely and elegant; last year, in addition, there was a guy in a red sequin tux jacket, another in an all-over flamingo suit, and even a couple of UK gentlemen in kilts. Each year everyone has a wonderful time, and the tuxes/gowns are much admired. Go for it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodman Posted December 26, 2018 #12 Share Posted December 26, 2018 We are on the Breeze for NYE this year and yes I do wear Tux on every Carnival cruise we take. In fact I wear one on every elegant night. This will be our 50th cruise on Carnival and I really don't want to look like I just cut the lawn. Happy New Year every one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gentleman asked a simple question. Will there be a lot of men in tuxedos, probably not. But, there will be some and they will stand out as someone who enjoys dressing up for special occasions. I have a tux and wear it on both Elegant Nights. I have been complimented by total strangers for wearing it. Do I feel out of place; not at all. If you don't have one or don't want to rent one, don't cut someone else down for wearing theirs. If you see a person wearing shorts, do you say you found one of the few who thinks of Carnival as if it were Windstar? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2cruise2thebeach Posted December 27, 2018 #14 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I don't own a tux and will be on the Dream on NYE, however, I do plan on wearing a suit. If I had a tux I would wear it. It is NYE and you should do what you want. It's not unlike going to a party back home, wear what you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pugmadkate Posted January 4, 2019 Author #16 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Thanks, all! Husband wore his tux and we had a ball! Most men had on dark suits or sports coats but he was not the only one in a tux. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckiestmanonearth Posted January 4, 2019 #17 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I don’t remember many tuxes but I do remember a lot of sport coats and suits. But we also saw jeans, shorts, and some in their robes. You will get everything so wear what you’re comfortable in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pe4all Posted June 7, 2019 #20 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Go for it. I was actually surprised that - on my last 2 CCL cruises - the trend seems to have turned again, as most people were dressed to the nines (tuxes, suits, long gowns, cocktail dresses) on the elegant nights. My dd and I wore sequined tops and leggings, and were fine with these outfits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indygirl76 Posted June 7, 2019 #22 Share Posted June 7, 2019 There's nothing wrong with being the best dressed man in the room. (And a whole lot right!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fla Mike Posted June 7, 2019 #23 Share Posted June 7, 2019 We always go formal, yes, even on Carnival, and yes, even on 3 night cruises. And, yes, we do stand out, but in a good way, for us. 😉 But, dress for yourself. Don't conform to others opinion. If the dress code says jeans or shorts are OK, fine. Our last cruise on HAL, very, very few were in gowns, long dresses, suits, or tuxes on either formal night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James4me Posted June 8, 2019 #24 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I’d say go for it. Nothing like seeing a man in a tux, you’ll be the envy on board. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted June 8, 2019 #25 Share Posted June 8, 2019 My views on dressing up on Carnival cruises have definitely changed ovef the years. While my wife and I both used to dress up on elegant nights in the past, we both dress more casually now these days, which reflects the direction of Carinval’s dress code. However, I still would never wear jeans on elegant nights. I still think people should feel free to dress up if they want, to include wearing a tux. But to me, wearing a tux on Carnival would be like wearing a tux to Applebee’s, which is something I wouldn’t do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
