Been There, Planning That Posted July 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Usually Bob just brings a dress blazer and flannels for formal nights and is within the norm for dress. For the first time we can drive to embarkation port and I'd like him to wear his kilt. (The one other time he wore it, we had to pay $75 overweight luggage charges) We haven't seen a kilt on any line recently. It's a fall New England b2b. Since everything is now more 'casual dress' for formal nights or non enforced dress, I wonder if he'd stand out like a peacock. Should I encourage him to be 'bloody bold and resolute' Ruth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted July 10, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We've seen gents wear their kilts and they look great. You will see kilts in Halifax Terminal and the pipers who welcome the ship and pipe the ship away at sailaway always have their plaids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 10, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We have seen kilts on various cruises. 1 of 4 -- call name here -- family wore their kilts on a Holiday cruise. She posted pictures of them in their kilts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmoo here Posted July 10, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I vote for the kilt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serendipity1499 Posted July 10, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I also vote for the kilt..:):) I too think they look fantastic in their kilts.. But warn you, your DH will stand out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pv girl Posted July 10, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I also vote for the kilt..:):) I too think they look fantastic in their kilts.. But warn you, your DH will stand out! Yes, he will get stares -AND LOTS OF APPROVING SMILES. People like to see old customs continued and will be happy for him. We have seen kilts on some cruises - remember a lot on a Baltic cruise as lots were from the UK. Especially appropriate for a Canada cruise. Dress tends to be a little more formal than some other destinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been There, Planning That Posted July 11, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted July 11, 2014 But watch the sgian-dubh, or your luggage might get a trip to the naughty room. :) We'd bought a rubber bladed one with a real handle and case for a grandson so that's the one he'd bring. The survey suggests I should strongly encourage him to bring it along. Ruth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our RCCL Bermuda cruise in February there were 2 different groups where the men wore kilts .... and dashing they were :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freestyling Posted July 11, 2014 #15 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Absolutely have him wear the kilt. Just expect folks to want to take pictures with him. This occurred on a cruise we took a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 1of4 Posted July 11, 2014 #24 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Kilt all the way...nothing nicer...but I am VERY biased: DH received a few catcalls from some very distinguished ladies (when I wasn't around). DD and I wore our sashes in different tartans for my family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
