How much to rent a tux?
 
We're going on the Island Princess to Alaska the end of July. Does anyone know how much it costs to rent a tux on board?<BR><BR>Thank in advance,<BR>Sandy

As long as you have a dark dress suit , shirt and tie, there is no need to rent a tux. <BR><BR>My husband looks just as sharp and together in his dark navy suit.

Thanks . . . but my husband does not want to mess with packing a suit and all the accessories if he can just rent a tux reasonably.<BR><BR>I guess you can tell this is our first cruise!<BR><BR>Sandy

You can rent a tux with all accessories for around $90 or you can buy a used tux of the same quality for around $125.<BR>Cruiselineformal.com is the rental link.<BR>Try tuxtown.com for purchase.<BR><BR>Peter

If you live in Massachusetts you can buy a tux at K &amp; G Warehouse for men for $99.00. They also do the alterations if needed for a reasonable price.

Way to expensive to rent a tux-<BR>My hubs also bought one for about $200 and has used it on at least 5 cruises already-so it has paid for itself-<BR><BR>If he rented one at home and carried it onto the cruise for the entire week, it was the same cost as BUYING a tux...

Point of order Andy - no ones saying to rent it at home and take it to the ship - the rental link I provided delivers it to your stateroom.<BR><BR>Peter

I know that Peter-- I was just explaining the cost factor of buying one versus renting one IN your home town..NOT on the ship ---<BR><BR>

Thank you Peter, this is what I wanted to know. And thanks everyone else for the suggestions.<BR><BR>Sandy
