Tuxedo Rental on Inspiration
I think I remember reading a review in which the person said they rented
a tuxedo for themselves after they were on the ship, is this possible? If so would anyone know the pricing? If it s I'm considering it just to have 3 less suits to pack for my sons and I in December. If there's a page I could go to I'd be appreciative for a link also. Thanks for your help as usual everyone. David http://community.webtv.net/Positive_...TDOWNTOTHE50TH |

I don't know about making the arrangements once you get on the ship, but you
can make arrangements ahead of time and have the formal wear waiting for you on the ship. Look at Carnival's website www.carnival.com Choose "Gifts & Services" from the options across the top of the page. At the bottom of the options on the left side of the page you will find "Formal Wear" Click there and choose your formal wear. Or just click he http://gifts.carnival.com/Catalog.asp?CategoryID=9 - Danny "David G. Wagner" wrote in message ...

Patrick,
I had thought of that ( I am using cruiselineformal.com for my RCCL cruise), but they don't seem to do Carnival. Since he said he would be on the Inspiration, I think he needs to make his formal wear arrangements directly with Carnival. See my previous post for the link to their formal wear rental page. - Danny "Patrick M. Murray" wrote in message ... Try this: http://www.cruiselineformal.com/ |

As someone else said, you can make arrangements ahead of time with Carnival
(they suggest you go to a tux shop and have them measure you - don't forget to try on shoes as well if you are renting them to get the correct size). I was on the Inspiration in June and had pre-arranged for tuxes for myself and my 3 sons (28, 21 and 16). The shoes were missing from my order. There was a time on the first formal night where they would rent tuxes and shoes (it was in one of the dining rooms as there is no formal shop on the Inspiration). They seemed to have a pretty good supply of tuxes and shoes. BTW, my advice is to try on your tux (assuming you rent from the ship ahead of time) as soon as it is in your room in case there are any problems (you don't want to repeat my high school senior prom adventure ) Barry "David G.

Oooops! You are right after I verified this link and discovered that it has
no relationship with Carnival. Thanks for making a point. Smile! Bon Voyage! Patrick "Danny Hamilton" wrote in message et...

Yes Major, but what if you (as the OP mentioned) don't already own tuxes?
What if instead you own suits? Even with a garment bag, clothes have a tendency to get wrinkled. With the airlines only allowing 1 piece of carry-on luggage per person, you often end up having to check the luggage/bag with the suit. With the way airlines handle checked luggage this is just more opportunity for the garments to look less than optimal when you arrive at the cruise. Having a tux waiting for you on the ship is a nice convenience. I don't know where you rent your tuxes from, but I've never gotten a "sweaty" rental. They've always been cleaned prior to the rental. And as long as you have the correct measurements, it shouldn't be "ill-fitting" either. I agree that if you own a tux, this would be an opportunity to wear it, but I get plenty of opportunities to wear a dark suit. Since I don't have a lot of opportunities to wear a tux, I just rent one. This sounds like a good option for the OP as well. - Danny "Major" wrote in message ... If all three of you really(?) own tuxes, it is absurd that you would submit your self to sweaty, ill-fitting rentals that cost a couple hundred dollars, to avoid the indignity of "packing". People who actually own tuxes that fit look forward to the chance to use them on cruises. |

Tuxedo Rental on Inspiration
I couldn't afford to rent a tux after I saw what they go for on Ebay...I got
a barely used 'after six' coat, pants, vest for $60.00...can't rent one for that. (true, I still had to get shoes, shirt, studs and tie, but I had about the same amount as a one-time rental when I got done) user1 ---ready for the next cruise, tux and all!
