IS A SPORTS JACKET REALLY NECESSARY FOR OTHER NIGHTS? WOULDN'T JUST A SMART SHIRT AND TIE DO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonathome Posted June 20, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I vote for wearing your Kilt. We have a very dear friend that is Scottish and he always wears his kilt for Formal occassions. Everyone loves to see him in it. As for the jacket in the dining room question, I have seen men with and without jackets in the dining room. I personally feel that men look more "finished" (and handsome!) with a dinner jacket though. Cheers, M. P.S. A gentle reminder, or in case you were unaware; using all capital letters is seen as shouting on line, you may want to consider utilizing upper and lower.

Of coure that depends on the line you are cruising with. If you are doing Cunard then yes the jacket and tie is a must. Other wise, most anything goes these days.

Nebr.cruiser Posted June 20, 2006 #4 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Wear the kilt! Nothing is more stunning than a man in a kilt! As to jackets, I still think they are best for informal nights, but many men will be in a dress shirt and tie--and some won't even have a tie. Jackets are not necessary on casual nights.

SANDY BEACH Posted June 20, 2006 #5 Share Posted June 20, 2006 We saw kilts on our last cruise on Celebrity. A great selection which represented their country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvMyVette Posted June 20, 2006 #6 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Hi: I love the kilt idea and as "sandy beach" mentioned, you're representing your country. Definitely go for it. With non-formal nights, you don't need a shirt/tie. Then of course it depends on the cruise line. What line will you be on? This can help us answer your question. Have a wonderful cruise and enjoy!

lszu Posted June 21, 2006 #8 Share Posted June 21, 2006 We've seen many Scots wearing kilts on formal night and they always look sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centralcalicruzer Posted June 21, 2006 #9 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Our tablemates on our Vision of the Seas cruise last October were from Scotland. He wore the full dress kilt and jacket on formal night and was the hit of the ship. His wife had this amazing plaid taffeta dress that looked great with his kilt. We had a blast with them, and everyone else wanted to take photos with them that night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
