Kilt for formal nights??

[hilandlass]

We are Scots going on our 1st ever cruise :eek: (Victory from Barbados 9th March 2011). I'm picking up some great tips from CC boards but would like some advice....Should I pack DH's Kilt for formal nights? :confused: Would it pass for formal dress? Would he be rediculed for wearing a 'skirt'??

[MrPete]

Absolutely it will pass.

 

Seen it MANY times.

 

And he will be ULTRA popular that night!

Have seen both passengers and "higher up" crew wearing kilts on formal nights. Go for it!

As well as cruise directors!

Cruise Director Ralph Valente in Elegant Evening with Captain Massimo Marino and Hotel Director Marvin Barrentes...

Yes kilts are perfectly acceptable, and look wonderful - so be proud of your heritage and show those legs!;)

[norcal2]

They are PERFECT for formal night. As has been said, they are worn by many on formal night on many ships and lines.

 

Have a wonderful cruise!

[deeluvs2cruise]

Definitely wear it. I have seen kilts worn many times on cruise ships. Even "Wee Jimmy" wears thems. What a great way to express pride in your heritage!!!

[becks2005]

YES YES YES -love to see it! I personally find them sexy and irresistable:rolleyes:

[wmjrdn4ever]

Be sure and check out how breezy it is up on deck first!

[rrraydon]

Absolutely...

and in the traditional Scottish way :eek:..woohoo..:p!

[saw1953]

Absolutely. All the women love a man in his dress kilt (or at least I do). It's sorta like there's nothing like a man in a military dress uniform

Several cruises ago on the Fantasy I had a table mate in the MDR that wore a different kilt every night. He looked very comfortable with his choice of evening wear. On Elegant night he went all out with full formal all the way. Looked very sharp and received many comments from his fans.

[moonandsun]

Go for it! He should wear it. No doubt.

[javamom]

Yes! I love seeing a kilt on formal night.

[djmaine]

I say have him wear it. I'm sure all the woman's eyes will be on him.

[Brizzygirl]

YES YES YES -love to see it! I personally find them sexy and irresistable:rolleyes:

Ditto!

[williamson_ja]

I say YES! Love a man in a kilt! Maybe I can convince my dh to wear one.....

[Tgianco]

You must tell your waiter:

Lower your menus and march straight back to the kitchen, stopping at every table you pass by to deliver drinks, offer more bread and whatever else your guests may want. Do that and this cruise will be merry. Do it not, and every one will curse this journey.

 

Well, something along those lines, and then, at the end of dinner, when you go to stretch, yell "Freeeeddddooommmm!" at the top of your lungs. People will love you for it, and your name will be remembered in cruise lore.

The kilt would be a great conversation starter....and I mean that in a positive way.

Kilts look so neat !

Last cruise on the Liberty in September there was a couple from Scotland. He looked quite handsome in his formal Kilt!!!!!!

[GayleR]

Ok, I have to ask. Does he wear something underneath his kilt? My DD's boyfriend is Scottish and even plays the bagpipes but he does wear something under his kilt. Just curious. I would think that it would be uncomfortable; most kilts are made of wool. Scratchy.....ouch....:eek:
