Greetings from West Sussex

Well, my user name gives away my location rather! I've been "lurking" on this forum for a few weeks now so I thought I might as well register and join properly.

I've been interested in trying out a kilt for a while now, but this has been brought to a head by age. For my 40th birthday, we have booked a cruise on Queen Mary 2 and I've decided to wear a kilt for the formal nights, of which there will be four. So, I thought I had better get some practise and knowledge in first.

Oh, and I do have a bit of Scottish blood lurking in my veins somewhere I'm sure!

Hello Biker,

Welcome to XMarks from the middle of Thetford Forest in the highlands of Norfolk.

A cruise is a great way to begin your kilt wearing and a QM2 cruise is perfect. Bon voyage!

[westsussexbiker]

Thank you. We've been on Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth on previous cruises so know what to expect. Looking forward to it. Expect lots of questions and advice however, as I may well try wearing the kilt December...

Welcome from a bit further round the coast from Southampton.

Best of luck with the cruising, I'm afraid I can't share your enthusiasm, having been on two four day mini-cruises and had to put up with sea sickness and rude staff, being stuck on a ship for my precious free time would seem like being sent to jail, I'd much rather fly and get to the holiday destination quickly. However each to their own.
