Nothing is easier than mail order. Just order a black suit from Land's End.
They're not that expensive. And if you have a sport jacket that fits, you
know the size. Call Land's End and you'll have a suit in 2-3 days.
You might find you love cruises so much... that you go again next year. So
it won't hurt having the suit.
And get black. It substitutes nicely for a tux. Everything goes with
black. Very classy looking.
And then what I'd suggest... get several of those nice knit "Miami Vice"
style low turtleneck collar shirts, and you can avoid wearing a white shirt
and tie. I don't mind the suit... I just hate the tie.
