Hiring suits
Further to my previous post about teen dress code we are now considering hiring a suit for our 16 year old son for the formal nights. He is growing so quickly all the time (tall and skinny) we don't really want to buy a suit or blazer especially. What is everyone's experience with hiring suits? Many thanks!

Do you mean renting a tux from the ship? That can easily be done unless of course your son doesn't think its "cool" BTW are you from down under? The term "hiring a suit" is not familiar to me. Is that an Aussie colloquialism?

Send in measurements and the articles will be in your cabin waiting for you for the entire week's usage!
Good luck! Should make a nice family photo and great memory!!

When I saw "hiring suits", my first thought was that you wanted advice on hiring lawyers for your cruise! (While it might take a lawyer to talk a 16-year-old into wearing a tux, I'd still advise against it).
Good thing we all speak "English", huh?
Have a great cruise, Oz!

Hi ozcruiser - we had the same issue, but short and stocky! I went to two thrift stores and bought a grey suit for $5.00 and a black tux for $6.00. I have got to tell you, both suits were like brand new! I then spent $25.00 to have them both taken in at a dry cleaner....much cheaper than hiring a suit!
Have fun on your cruise! We are going again for Christmas and he has both suits to wear again!
