I can tell you that CCL has their own Tux Rental for men AND women. Pretty
jazzy too!

Check with your local Tux rental places. Most will probably rent you a Tux
for the entire week at the same price you will pay aboard ship and have
more selection. My Brother rented one in Reading PA for about $75. Tell them
what you want it for.

I have my own Tux so I don't have any personal experience.

I have done some research (in fact you might check the thread about a
week and a half ago that I started, re" tux rental) and this is what I
found.

Many cruise lines have their own rental. There is also an outfit
called cruiselineformal.com that rents. (I'm a little unclear as to
whether there is overlap between these two groups, that is, that
cruiselineformal may be the on ship rental in some cases.)

Your local tux shop CAN rent you a tux, probably for the time you need,
and will be about $5-$15 cheaper than the on ship tuxes. They have
cruise packages, and can include multiple shirts, jackets, if you
like. but you will have to pack it and get it there and make sure it
is not wrinkled and such. The tux shop at home probably has a variety
of styles the cruise ship ones don't (generally on-ship tux shops have
standard black jackets and white dinner jackets. Your local tux shop
can rent you a double breasted jacket, shortie jacket, variety of
collars, etc. some of these will cost more)

The big advantage of cruise line rentals or cruiselineformals.com, of
course, is that the tux is in your cabin. You don't have to do
ANYTHING. People who use these services seem to be very satisfied.

That, in a nutshell is What I found out. I'm going to rent one to be on
the ship, as this is a surprise for my husband and I don't want him to
guess anything.

Thanks

Husband rented tux on last two cruises from Princess. Extra shirts and
everything you need for entire cruise without lugging from home!

Sorry we didn't do it on all cruises,

What is wrong with wearing a business suit?
That would save $100 or so on a rental.
You could use the money for tipping.

Hi Elliot,

Absolutely nothing. A dark business suit is perfectly acceptable.
With or without cowboy boots. <vbg>

Best regards,

My husband rented a tux on our April cruise from Cruiseline Formal
wear, www.cruiselineformal.com, he loved it. $80 in San Juan and
it came with shoes. No toting, no ironing, no lugging, it was
in our cabin when we boarded. The brochure came with our Princess
pre-book shore excursion info.
Because his suit was a little too small and he never would wear
a new one, the tux rental suited us perfectly.
