Mr. Luckytoo

this thread was supposed to be asking if MEN hated wearing suits on vacation -

its turned into a fashion thead dominated by the women.

Go figure..

I agree, no suits, no jackets! Shaving, why bother. Heck, even washing your hands is a burden. And those serving utensils at the buffet, they just take more time than using your hands. I agree, no rules, no decoram. :)

Hey didn't I see this same quote on the Carnival board? :p

I would like to thank everyone that posted their point of view on this thread, especially those who did so in a non-confrontational way.

 

It's been really interesting to read the various perspectives re: wearing a suit vs. wearing a sports jacket.

Elena, see what you started? ;)

Now that there are almost 100 responses YOU have to do your homework. Go back thru the responses and come up with the top 10 reasons men don't want to wear a suit on a cruise....

BTW there are the helpful hins I learned reading this thread:

1. you earlier mentioned about a dry cleaning bag reduced wrinkles...were you talking about the clear wrap that it comes from the dry cleaner or something else?

2. Rather than cleaning my jacket or worrying about wrinkles I'll just pack it and get it dry cleaned on board the first night

3. I'm not the only guy who hates packing a pair of dress shoes (in my case size 11.5) just to wear with a suit/tux.

4. There is a lot of intolerance in the world/Celebrity board

5. I never realized that formal cruisers choose to cruise Celebrity because of the formal night dress code. I was under the impression that Celebrity had better service, nicer cabins, more relaxed on-board activities, non-smoking casinos, etc., but NOPE it's because of the formal wear policy :cool:

Amen. Welcome to American society these days. No one wants to be inconvenienced in anyway and they feel they are entitled to have it "there way". Life isn't Burger King folks - you can't have everything your way!

Sorry but that's one of the reasons I CHOOSE to cruise Celebrity, because it ISN'T Burger King.

How does another passenger's clothes inconvenice you in any shape, manner or form?

I understand the argument about smoking because it's a health issue as well as an assult to other person's olfactory senses. But clothing?

And flclsax I respectfully disagree - this is American and yes you CAN have everything you want (assuming you can pay for it!)

No...suits are not "stupid". That is your opinion. I for one, enjoy the option of dressing up for an elegant evening with friends. It is your choice to eat in the MDR or not. NO ONE said you have to dress up. Just respect those of us who enjoy the experience and eat somewhere else. You need to get a grip!

Can you please explain how my coming into the MDR wearing slacks a shirt and a sports jacket diminish's your experience? :confused:

Elena,

I'm NOT the norm on this issue. I live in Florida and down here there is nothing formal (black tie) except for special fund-raising events.

The last time I put on a tie was for my wedding when I wore my tux. Since then I've worn my tux many ties just without the tie. I feel that a mans tie is really a noose!

Having said that I just purchased a new tux that I'll wear on my two upcoming Celebrity cruises sans the tie.

On a practical note my suits wrinkle a lot when packed in my bag but the sports jacket doesn't

Sdmike,

What a review! I have to admit you did a great, great job. Funny parts and a wonderful read.

Glad you enjoyed you cruise and that you had wonderful time.

Adjust your schedule so you show up at 11pm or later to shoot craps. Most of the idiot players are sleeping by then. :D

YUCK! By that time of night the dice are NASTY - too many sticky figers. Give me a nice clean sharp edged pair any day.

I do agree, after the casino, I love taking a don't player's money second most.

 

REALLY?

I don't understand jerks that act like that. When I play DP I don't root for a 7 - until I get people like YOU at the table.

what's interesting is that MOST DP players are respectful and STILL people make silly coments like you make.

PS You're not taking the DP's money its the casino.
