"Rich Cacace" wrote in message ... And what about all the portrait's they sell? I may be in the minority, but I don't take the portraits on formal night as a scam. I have my husband in a tux and my kids and I dressed to the 9's, and I want a portrait taken, not a badly-framed photo from the digital camera. They are not that unreasonably priced and it's a part of the cruise I look forward to - and a portrait that I am looking at right now. To each his own. Chris |

Although I don't buy photo's any longer don't get me wrong- I'm all for
anything that produces revenue for the ship as long as it keeps the boarding prices as low as possible. "CupCaked" wrote in message ... No one says you must rent a tux, and no one makes you purchase a photo. "Rich Cacace" wrote: And what about all the portrait's they sell? "NSq" wrote in message . .. Add rental fees to the scam.

: Add rental fees to the scam. Rent stateside at 50% off, or even better; purchase it outright for just about the same amount you could rent on ship, or for two rentals stateside. If one plans on cruising a lot, it will come in handy. Or do like most, and wear a nice jacket and tie.... |

Probably the most insightful comment I have ever read here. Although some of the costs are outrageous (such as photographs), most of us forget that the reason we can get an all-inclusive (or most-inclusive) seven day trip for $499 per person is due to the money that these businesses make from their sales onboard ship. As long as you partake in moderation you can have the time of your life, for very little money. One of my favorite pastimes while cruising is watching people looking over their 10 pages of expenses at the end of the week. "We spent $478 in that bar Thursday night!!!" Time to start digging for the multiple credit cards....! |

If one plans on cruising a lot, it will come in handy. You can purchase a tux at Syms for $159. Jos. Banks usually has them on sale for $199 or $225. I believe my Syms tux has been on at least 8 cruises, probably more, and is still in good shape. I would not purchase one for a first cruise, either rent a tux or wear a suit, but after that cruise if it is obvious you like cruising, then a tux is a good buy. -- Charles |
