To Kilt or not to Kilt? That is the Dress Code Question.

[itzmered]

On each of our Princess cruises we have seen at least one man wearing a Kilt on formal night.

[WeBeGone]

 

And when the ladies ask me what, may we ask, is under the Kilt=I PROUDLEY RESPOND THE FUTURE OF SCOTLAND!!:p

 

Wonderful :D

 

And the answer is yes - kilt !!

[GlendaleCruiser]

Kilts are like tuxedos to me. Formal, elegant and sexy.

 

Yes, yes, yes to the kilt!:D;)

[royal65]

By all means, wear the kilt. We were on a HAL Scotland cruise last summer, and incredibly, there were only two of us attired in kilt and Prince Charlies. But we both had a lot more fun with it than we would have had in a plain tux or suit.

 

As to the extra weight, unquestionably, the kilt itself adds a lot. But, you save a little weight by not having to pack as many undershorts! A lady did ask me if anything was worn underneath the kilt. I assured her that nothing was worn beneath the kilt -- everything was in fine working order.

 

Have fun with it!

[luxurysailer]

Tell him to make a statement, wear the kilt, and not worry about what the "down dressers" think.

[Times Prince]

The answer to the kilt question is "Aye !" Kilts are considered proper formal.

[woodofpine]

Thank Axel Rose... Ever since they started piping in 'Guns 'N Roses' these Princesses go ape over kilts. You'd think Mary Queen of Scots was there mum!

 

But if he's into stone throwing or caber tossing, I suggest he leave that stuff home!:D

Be not too tame neither, but let your own discretion be your tutor...

Missed the quote

 

My role is to wear black as a neutral background for my peacock. Ruth

Please wear the kilt ! It is so elegant and adds to the uniqueness of the evening.

As for the weight, why not wear it on the plane ?

A similar question which is sometimes heard from the ladies is "What is worn under the kilt?" A confident Scot will frequently reply, "Nothing is worn under the kilt. Everything is in perfect working order."

a man in a kilt looks so classy. as for mrs kilt, black is an excellent choice for formal night. tell mr kilt you're making him look good. :)

[UpcountryTravelers]

ABSOLUTELY wear the kilt! I usually wear mine on formal nights (with regulation doublet), and am often complemented. (Sometimes by only a shy smile from a lady.....) I have even had ladies ask to have their picture made with me. Glad my sweetie isn't the jealous type.....;)

[shredie]

A man in a kilt is very handsome. Do it!

[Been There, Planning That]

Obviously the nay sayers are few and far between so the kilt it will be, even if he'll be the only peacock aboard.

We're to become first time Princess Cruisers on a 27 day Baltic/TransAtlantic cruise next fall.

 

On one longer HAL cruise Bob brought along his kilt for formal nights and while the only one in a kilt on that cruise, he was not out of place among the tux and dress suit crowd. Mind you it cost in over weight sur charges but was a fun splurge as he no longer has many opportunities to wear it when at home.

 

As I read things, Princess is a bit less formal than HAL or Celebrity, but more so than NCL, our other cruise experiences. Correct?

 

Would my peacock look out of place on a Princess formal night? I assume he'd have about 6 opportunities to wear it on a 27 day cruise.

 

We're steerage passengers but do enjoy formal nights.

 

And unless I missed something on the Princess site, I do not see prices for Specialty Restaurants.

 

I'll try to make good use of the search tool for the many questions I'll have.

 

Thanks Prince and Princesses,

 

Ruth

 

 

Kilt up !!!! Suit up the other nights. you know it makes sense and hey a great conversation starter...i.e what Tartan is that etc.... Do u Scotsmen really go commando etc...lol being a Scot I never tell.

 

Wore it as a Pax and as a crew member once a CD barred me from wearing it as it took the spotlight away from his attire ( white tux) so I was told by the DCD.

[GBeret]

I have always seen Kilted men on my cruises, so by all means ware yours! I sometimes wear my military 'Mess Dress,' on cruises. Always either wear them or a Tux. ;)

I agree, wear the kilt.

 

On a recent Alaska cruise on the Golden there was one who wore a kilt, but that was about it. A very nice formal look, too. As nice as any tux. I opted for a white tux, kind of a James Bond look, and was in a distinct minority, not just in terms of white tuxes, but also in terms of those that wore tuxes. I think the general impression I've read over and over is true, on port intensive cruises, such as Alaska, lots of guys just opt to do formal nights in business suites rather than tuxes. Suites are easier to pack and carry on board, and on top of that most of those guys had it in their closet either because of their job or because they need it for weddings, funerals, etc.

tell you partener to take his kilt my brother-in -law is taking his in oct on out med cruise on the grand.dont worry about the down dressers they,ll be the ones feeling odd.

and princess passengers are never steerage were all at home and enjoying the cruise line we love

[Floflegs]

Go for it! My DH always takes his kilt and wore it for our dds wedding on the Sea Princess.

[Been There, Planning That]

It would seem that everyone 'out there' has a soft spot for Scots -- real or wannabee.

 

Wearing it on the plane is not a practical option, we'll just have to splurge on the overweight charges.

[DrivesLikeMario]

I'm part Scottish but my DH isn't at all. Even so, I would love to see him in a kilt. Nothing is more sexy than a man in a kilt!! ;) Of course, it would have to be my tartan. :D

I have won first prize quite a lot from my Lassie dear!!!!:p

[silverbird]

As a member of Clan Robertson, I find a man in a kilt super sexy. Wear it, enjoy yourself, and give the ladies something to think about.

 

Have a wonderful cruise.
