Wager with Wife regarding QE2
 

As first time passengers on the QE2 for a transatlantic cruise, London to NY this summer, I've got a big bet with the wife. <BR> <BR>Must I have a tuxedo for this voyage? <BR>We are not booked into the Upper Class category (my wife lovingly refers to our cabin as the "steerage" class) so I'm betting that such formal attire won't be needed. I think I can get by with a sports coat and tie, even on the most formal nights since we are not dining in the Queens Grill. <BR>If I need a tux, I need to know before we leave for London, otherwise if I'm wrong, my VISA card will be visiting Harrods without me! <BR>Any other comments or opinions about QE2 and your experiences with this ship & Cunard line would also be most appreciated. <BR>Thank you all very much. <BR>Jack

You need either a dark suit or a tuxedo for formal nites--it is in your document pkg from QE2 stating the dress. I have friends on the cariona deck in the caronia dining room and she is taking some formal pant sets,long gowns and short cocktail dresses. He husband IS taking a tux but the card from QE2 says a dark suit is acceptable. However, a sport coat is NOT the appropriate thing to wear on formal nite.

Dear Andy: <BR>OK I guess my tux gets a trip to the cleaners before I get on the QE2. <BR>Thank you for the info. I have not yet received all our travel documents so I do not have access to the ship's brochure. <BR>You have just saved my credit card from a terrible "Pounding" at Harrods! <BR> <BR>Jack

Jack- Hope the tux fits--now you did say you bet your wife? lol--Have a terrific time on your cruise!

<BR>Looks like you lost your bet Jack. <BR> <BR>Oh well, if your tux does not fit you can always rent one on the ship. <BR> <BR>Happy sailing. <BR> <BR>Paul
