| With popular vacation destinations like the Caribbean, Mexico or Europe, cruising has become a favorite way for married couples to spend their honeymoon. But if you've never cruised before, you might be unsure of what to pack. Although daytime dress is casual; clothing on board is dressy on some cruise lines, particularly on formal night. "Traditional cruises" which have pre-assigned dinner times and table mates and formal nights require men to wear suits or tuxedos and women to wear pantsuits or cocktail dresses. Some adult only cruises offer a Valentine's night or Captain's cocktail party or ball where black tie would also be appropriate to wear. |
| | | But what constitutes black tie dress and what is appropriate to wear? Bill Tzizik, CEO, Classic Tuxedo Inc. suggests these guidelines: "An event which is "black tie," requires you to dress formally. Black is still the favorite color choice for tuxedo jackets. Two, three and four-button, single-breasted notch jackets by designers like Matteo Maas, Monsieur Givenchy and Claiborne continue to be popular choices. But for spring and summer cruises or for cruises in tropical climates, an alternative to the black tuxedo is the dinner jacket. A white or ivory single-breasted shawl collar dinner jacket has a breezy feel and looks great. Pair it with a white or ivory shirt, formal trousers that feature a plain non-pleat flat front, black satin fullback vest and traditional bow tie for an enviable look." | | | Tuxedo rentals are usually available for one day, but
some retailers offer extended wedding honeymoon rental periods of 7 to 10 days at no additional cost to the groom. This enables you to conveniently return your tuxedo when you get home from your trip. Industry wide, retailers will also provide two shirts in a travel tuxedo package that allows you to change the look of your formal wardrobe if you'll be wearing the tuxedo for more than one occasion. | | | So don't forget, when you're planning your honeymoon cruise, remember the formalwear. | | |
