Clueless first-timer needs advice about cruises please
RTCReferee wrote: Sue and Kevin Mullen wrote: It is also possible to rent a tux through the cruise line, so you don't have to pack one. Yes, thanks for reminding us, Sue. That would certainly save on packing for the original poster, and it's not an expensive option. Kevin doesn't own a tux, I won't let him buy one untill his size is stable. He has rented a couple of times and it has worked out very well. sue |

Just for the record ... one more time .... I was never on about shorts (that was another poster). I don't even carry shorts with me on this cruise! Ahem, Bob, please let me refresh your memory, as * I * was the person you flamed with your shorts post. Here is the exchange in its entirety: John & Beverly wrote: We just returned from 7 nights on the Legend of the Seas, and fully a third of the diners each night were wearing shorts in the main dining room. I was surprised. On Mon, 02 Aug 2004 02:19:11 GMT, Peri wrote John, I'm surprised as well. And disappointed. We're leaving on the Legend at the end of the month, and I'd really hate to have the atmosphere in the dining room cheapened in that way. ~ Peri ---- hoping John's cruise was an aberration I haven't yet embarked on my first cruise ... but I must say I find the "dress" aspect to be the most offputting. My idea of a holiday is to relax and enjoy myself, and if there are those who are so full of it that a relaxed person in shorts "cheapens" their experience, then I'd have to say there is something inherently wrong with that approach to holidaying. This, to me, is the same as those who treat waiters as some sort of sub-species, instead of ordinary people doing a valuable job. Sorry if *this* offends ... but really, snobbishness gets up my nose! Bob T. I'm happy to take your current back-pedaling as an apology. ~ Peri |

I don't even *own* a tux, and would wear a suit maybe once a year at most. My suits go out of style before they ever wear out. Most suits don't fit anymore long before they go out of style. Plus... a nice navy or black 2 button suit never goes out of style. I'm thinking of buying a navy jacket for the occasion .... my concession to the formal set. 8*) Can I offer an alternative. Black. Then add one of the tux type shirts that don't require a tie. Like with the button in the front. Or one of the nice knit semi-turtleneck shirts. --Tom |
