Kilts...formal???

[scots]

Does anyone know if kilts are acceptable attire for formal evenings on Princess?

[Cruisin' Chick]

I think I saw someone wear them on a formal night on my last cruise. If Sean Connery can...

On the diamond princess on the Dec/Jan cruise to sydney there were a few scots folk wearing full scottish dress regalia (looked military) including kilts ,dirk in the sock , sporran, sashes and all the trimmings on the formal nights. Looked great and was definitely NOT informal. Im not sure if they went all the way , I never asked the tacky Q of what was under the kilt;)

I wore a mandarin style embroidered jacket (2 diff types ) on 3 of the 4 formal nights and got nothing but compliments on it. The first night I wore a dark suit and tie. I think so long as you look smart and folk can see you made an effort , wearing something apart from a tux is fine. I was actually amazed at the lengths some folk went to (the guys) with some really fancy jewelled studs , buttons , cufflinks , shoes etc. Was great to see just about everyone make an effort.

[britsbest]

Hoots mon!

[joolsb]

Of course - but the biggest problem is that they are soooooo heavy to carry in your luggage - might be better to travel in it!!!

Abosolutely! I have seen them a couple of times and they look great. Very formal.

scots yes,

I have seen them many times on formal night and they always look fabulous - more formal than the ship's staff. Quite acceptable.

I love a man in a kilt :) I think it should be manditory

[regnig]

Absolutely! Peter, our favorite Cruise Director of all time who is no longer with Princess, used to wear them for all formal evenings.

Was on the Golden Princess out of San Juan doing a S Carib. cruise last February. Many men in kilts :)

I also think they look great, and look very formal. Have seen many people on formal nights in them.

On our recent X transatlantic, one of our tablemates, from Glasgow, wore his kilt. I didn't ask either, but on the last formal night, his wife offered up a wonderfully racy poem about what was under the kilt. I remember only the last line - "A Scotsman's dirty bum"

ABSOLUTELY - nothing looks better than a Scotsman in his kilt.

Yes, when we first started cruising there were always kilts on formal nights. Lately I haven't seen any and was wondering why. Maybe is does have to do with luggage weight restrictions being lowered. I miss seeing the kilts.

[Druke I]

Kilts and full regalia - absolutely fine.

 

With my knobby knees and ostrich-like legs - probably not.

Alistair Greener does as well.

[scootepie66]

Think it looks really classy. There are many photos in the fashion news thread of couples and dressed in kilts on formal nite.

[Coral]

I find it too funny that the one thing this board can agree on is that Kilts are definitely appropriate on formal night.

We cruise often and almost always there are people in kilts on formal night.

[cruzbabe]

I have seen guys wearing kilts on 2 separate cruises.

[Ethel5]

I know what's under the kilt. ;)

 

Wear it in good health.:)

[calikak]

DH has worn his kilt (with a Prince Charlie jacket) on 2 cruises, everyone complements him on his outfit. Just be prepared for random people you've never met before to ask to take their picture with you. :) I would say no to a Utilikilt, though, those aren't formal enough. :D

DH wears his kilt as did some others but you are not allowed to have a proper sgean dhu ( knife in sock ) now because of security. "Dummy" ones are available if you can't do without it.
