Mar56 Posted June 26, 2015 #26 Share Posted June 26, 2015 One final point, if you do decide to take the kilt DO NOT take the Skean Dhu unless it is fake (plastic) one as even if it is packed in the suitcase in which case it will get through the airport scanner ok, (as it will be in the hold) it will NOT get through the cruise-line scanner ie every case is x-rayed before boarding and it will considered as a “weapon” and will be confiscated and returned at the end of the cruise. This happened to one of our cruise friends last year on Independence. Also if you have a sporran with seal pelt, watch it going through customs. My husband will say it is horse hair rather than seal.

Topbuzzer Posted June 26, 2015 Author #27 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Unfortunately we are restricted luggage wise as are flying down (from Scotland) so may have to give it a miss for that reason, thanks for all the replies as helped highlight the practical aspect of travelling with it!

pcur Posted June 27, 2015 #28 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Yes he'll be in a minority in a Kilt, but not a bad minority. Love, love, love the formal kilts!! Right now the series Outlander is really big in US tv, so kilts are definitely in favor over here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HB Cruiser Posted June 27, 2015 #29 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Being from southern Illinois in the USA, I see kilts daily, NOT. ;) I love seeing gentlemen from other countries wearing kilts and other attire that we regularly do not see here in the US. I vote KILT!!! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yj_eugene Posted June 27, 2015 #30 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I love seeing gentlemen from other countries wearing kilts and other attire that we regularly do not see here in the US. If kilts are allowed, how about Bermuda shorts? If not, why is dress wear from one country OK but not another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HB Cruiser Posted June 28, 2015 #31 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) If kilts are allowed, how about Bermuda shorts? If not, why is dress wear from one country OK but not another? Oh, I did not realize Bermuda shorts are considered formal attire in Bermuda or anywhere else for that matter. Well here goes a good thread to the toilet. Gonna turn this one into another "it's my vacation and I can wear what I want" thread. :( Tim Edited June 28, 2015 by HB Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well here goes a good thread to the toilet. Gonna turn this one into another "it's my vacation and I can wear what I want" thread. Hopefully not. My question was legitimate: a dress kilt doesn't technically fulfill the formal requirements for Royal, but is considered acceptable. Shouldn't that then be true of all dress outfits from other countries? I'm sure a bisht and thawb, changshan or dhoti that also don't qualify would be welcome as well, so why not Bermuda shorts?

I can't say for definite, but while bermuda shorts can be considered business wear, they're not formal formal usually. They also mainly were designed for a modicum of comfort pre-air conditioning. On the other hand, I don't care if you turn up to dinner wearing nothing but a towel, so I may not be the best person to ask. As long as I can't see anyone's nipples, bellybutton or genitals while I eat, I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legitimate question or not, the fact is Bermuda shorts are not considered "dress attire" anywhere, a kilt is in the op's country. Give it a rest.

lawgirl Posted June 29, 2015 #37 Share Posted June 29, 2015 One more vote for the kilt! Love to see them! There is usually one or two on a cruise and everyone always wants to be that guy's friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeBe Posted June 29, 2015 #39 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I think most ladies enjoy seeing a man in a skirt!:p I know, I know it is not a skirt. (At least that is what we tell the guys;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
