'Black & White' Formal Night

[DreamflightPat]

No problem at all, these themed evenings are mostly about the ladies, us guys are only there to support you .;)

Hi Bell Boy, great to catch up with you at the cruise show today.

Hi there,

 

I know it's fairly easy for most to dress in accordance of the 'black & white' theme, but my plan for formals nights was for my husband to wear his kilt.

 

His jacket is black and also his shoes ;) but I really didn't plan on hiring a tux (not that he'd want to wear a tux anyway!) so how out of place will he look ? He does own a dark grey suit. Would that be better suited?

 

My (soon to be) 6 year old son, on the other hand, is all sorted and has his tux packed already :D We'll need to buy him a new kilt when we get back to Scotland.

I have seen lots of men wear their kilts on formal night, forget the tux

Cunard has now banned sgian dubhs. (goodness knows why, the ships must be full of meat cleavers, axes etc) ........It is now printed as a banned item in the book that is sent to you.

 

Just for those occasions, I bought an inexpensive sgian dubh (on eBay for a few dollars), sawed off most of the blade and epoxied the blade stub into the handle. Looks exactly the same, but legal among the paranoid. :cool:

 

(Just for note: a Cunard cruise is still on the bucket list.)

I agree kilts look super...Some guests dress in there national costume also,which looks superb too...dressing up is the key
