Starry12 1 Report post Posted November 8, 2015 Hi, can anyone let me know if a Tuxedo is necessary for the MDR for men? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocLC 2,006 Report post Posted November 8, 2015 It is not necessary. A suit is equally acceptable. In addition, you'll find that the formality of formal night has declined dramatically over the years. I, for one, simply wear a tie, whereas others might wear a sports coat over a nice shirt without a tie. If you opt to dine in the specialty restaurants on formal night, they have a separate dress code of smart casual, which is why some dine there on formal night so that they don't have to dress up.

DocLC 2,006 Report post Posted November 9, 2015 This is pretty common among the pricier ultra premium lines. Surprised it hasn't happened sooner. The only line I've sailed on that required a coat on formal night was Holland America; all of the other lines have greatly eased their dress codes.

Don 134 Report post Posted November 9, 2015 "Evening chic" -- I wonder what I can get away with wearing on those nights? Oh yeah, it's only a suggestion so I can wear whatever I want! I'll go for the standard, but enjoy leaving the ties at home. Suprised Celebrity was 1st in RCI to change the standard. 1 lildawgscottFL reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
