I’m back from my cruise. It was as wonderful as the board had predicted. Knotty’s wardrobe suggestions were great- especially not to stress. My favorite new items were LL bean duck boots. I didn’t need my Wellies. Also waterproof sneakers and flats for dress. I took cocktail dresses for galas. Very few long gowns and sadly, only Captain Heaton wore a kilt! I wore skirts on coach days as it’s more comfortable for me. Bring layers! Sometimes I looked like a full back but I was never uncomfortable.Bring a good windproof jacket and warm hats and scarfs.some people brought puffer coats which were appreciated in all the wind. just be comfortable- this is a group of guests who appreciate you for your conversation, not for your wardrobe choices.

I am also from the US, I am flying to Glasgow via Heathrow. Once you book, Hebridean will provide a questionnaire and you can indicate whether or not you want free coach service to and from Glasgow central rail station or Glasgow airport. the Oban option suggested above sounds great if you have the time!

Thank you so much! This is very helpful. I look forward to posting a report upon my return.

I am looking forward to my first Hebridean Princess Cruise”flavours of the Hebrides” in October. I appreciate all the guidance that members of the board have contributed. However, I need wardrobe guidance! I live in Florida and although I have full winter clothes, including a down coat, I am trying to navigate the ship guidance for October weather. I need translations / what are waterproofs? What are the best shoes for the day trips? What have you used? If you have been on the gastronomic tours, do you dress for lunch? Are “waxed jackets” the best idea? Do women wear long gowns for gala evenings? I have time to order what I need but I need to know what I need! Agsin, thank all of you for your detailed reviews. This has been my dream for years, and I have derived so much pleasure from your writings.
