Tuxedo

Anyone ever rented a tux onboard? How much?

I have not rented on board but the website for the company that supplies them for DCL is http://www.cruiselineformal.com.
The basic package (1 Black Jacket. 1 Pair of Black Pants, 2 White Formal Shirts, 1 Black Cummerbund and Tie Set, 1 Set of Cufflinks and Studs) is $85.

I bought a used Tux on ebay for less than the cost of the rental and then also purchased a Mickey Mouse vest/bow-tie set on ebay.

My dh got a new tux on ebay for $89.00. He will wear it again when we go on the next cruise, so it has already been worth the money. He was able to have it altered for an excellent fit. And now he has no excuse not to take me out. Actually dressing up is not something that we often have the opportunity to do, so it is great. My DD and I wore red dresses and he ordered matching accessories. Our formal portrait is one that we will always treasure.

I rented a tux for my DH on our last cruise from cruiseline formal. It was around $100.00, including shoes. It was brought directly to our cabin the afternoon we boarded.
This cruise I will probably buy a couple of tuxes on ebay for my 2 DS'. I've seen them for $50.00.
Earlier this year I did purchase a black/white Mickey bowtie & vest for DH as a surprise. I can't wait to see him in it.

Just for clarification: I don't think you can actually rent on board -- I mean, I don't think you can say mid-cruise, "Gee, I think I want a tux tonight; I think I'll go over and pick one out." You have to reserve your tux through the website, and it's delivered to your room on the first day.

We just got back from the 4/17 Eastern and I rented the basic tux package for my husband. It was great. Delivered to your room. Everything was in great shape. My husband looked awesome on formal night, semi-formal night and for dinner at Palo. It was definitely worth the money in my opinion, and less clothes we had to bring. We did rent it online before we went on the cruise.
