Tux or no tux in caribbean

[avalon1025]

with only 1 formal night on a 7 day cruise, would a black suit be OK, or should I bring the whole tux roadshow?

[Martita B.]

James,

Ohhhh, you must take your gorgeous tux! You have the most beautiful tux on the Seven Seas......you have to take it!:p

Question answered!!!;)

Have fun and hugggzzz's sent!

I go with the Tux as well. Something about enjoying style and formality on those few occassions that makes it worth it.

3rd vote for Tux.

[Martita B.]

Mr James,

If your tux wasn't soooo goodlookin' I'd say, "just take your dull (oh hum) black suit!" But, you've got the No. 1 tuxedo ~~~:D

Why don't you just break the rules and wear it 2 evenings!!:confused:

There is only one way and that is to do things properly.Always take the Tux.

[avalon1025]

OK, tux it is! I think i'll break out the new dinner jacket, cream this time, perfect for the caribbean!

[Ste. Michelle]

We will be aboard the Legend on 3/9 in the Caribbean. Dear Hubby will definitely by Tuxed. When are you sailing? Would love to see that dinner jacket.

The history of the Tuxedo.

 

Sometime, somewhere, I will enjoy a Seabourn cruise. But before I book I would need to know Miss Martita's travel plans because she sounds like the life of the party... opps vessel!

 

Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving.

The Tuxedo

 

In 1860, Henry Poole made a short evening or smoking jacket for the Prince of Wales to wear at informal dinner parties at Sandringham. In 1886, a Mr. James Potter of Tuxedo Park, New York visited London and subsequently was invited by the Prince to spend a weekend at Sandringham. He was also advised that he could have a smoking jacket made by the Prince’s tailors, Henry Poole & Co.

When the Potters returned to New York, Mr. Potter proudly wore his new smoking jacket at the Tuxedo Park Club and fellow members soon started having copies made for themselves which they adopted as their informal uniform for club “stag” dinners. As a result, the dinner jacket became known as a Tuxedo or Tux in America

Thank you for the cordial invitation to cross the Atlantic, however I had already planned a cruise on Regent in April. I am sure everyone will enjoy their time.
