To 'Kilt' or not to Kilt, that is the question

[Been There, Planning That]

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'

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.

 

[Krazy Kruizers]

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.

I vote for the kilt!

[serendipity1499]

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.

Absolutely encourage him! I say go for it.:)

Saw a couple on my last ship; they are unique! By all means, go for it!

But watch the sgian-dubh, or your luggage might get a trip to the naughty room. :)

Depends on, if it's the real thing, how long the blade of that bad boy is

[Typhoon1]

Go for it. They are something different.

My DH wears his and always gets wonderful compliments on it as well.

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.

On our RCCL Bermuda cruise in February there were 2 different groups where the men wore kilts .... and dashing they were :D

[freestyling]

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.

I love a man in a kilt.....especially "hot Prince Harry":D Go for it, I think they look sexy. I love Sean Connery in his.

Shaken, not stirred! ;)

[nana51]

Well I get pretty shaken and stirred looking at him.

[COLLEYBERRY]

A military dress uniform,a white shirt and tan slacks,the right sweater with a great pair jeans....and then there is a man in a kilt... a league all of it's own.:) He has a responsibility to wear his kilt.:D

Still the best Bond ever!

You got that one right......my opinion, too!:)

[brookeinmn]

Oh man..don't give my husband any ideas! He already has a tux. Owning a nice kilt is on his bucket list.

 

Absolutely have him wear it :)

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.
