Have never sailed on RCI. Debating whether to take a tux for the formal night or just a suit/jacket and tie. Think there will be 2 formal nights. Anyone been on a RCI week cruise to the caribbean lately, will I be one of the few with a tux. Does not matter that much either way, but if only a small amount of men wear tuxes, won't even bother.

 

Thanks for any input

My experience is that the guys wearing a tux are a small minority. You won't be out of place, but I'm guessing around 10 percent wear a tux.

I agree with Bob, most don't wear tuxedos anymore.

 

I would say it depends on what you want to do. If you can afford the space in your luggage and really want to wear one then it will be perfectly fine to do so. But you will also be just fine with the suit jacket and tie. In fact, you will notice many don't even do the jacket any longer.

 

Not sure what has had the biggest impact on the change but the fact most airlines are charging for checked bags now most likely has played a hand in it.
