Diddydi Posted January 26, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yes kilts are perfectly acceptable, and look wonderful - so be proud of your heritage and show those legs!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal2 Posted January 26, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 26, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeluvs2cruise Posted January 26, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 26, 2011 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saw1953 Posted January 26, 2011 #12 Share Posted January 26, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWCHIEF Posted January 26, 2011 #13 Share Posted January 26, 2011 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.

Rare Tgianco Posted January 27, 2011 #19 Share Posted January 27, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misguidedangel Posted January 28, 2011 #24 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Last cruise on the Liberty in September there was a couple from Scotland. He looked quite handsome in his formal Kilt!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GayleR Posted January 29, 2011 #25 Share Posted January 29, 2011 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
