Cruise wear

[TheForrester]

With 24 cruises behind me (mostly Princess, but including Royal Caribbean, Carnival (never again) and Celebrity), I have often worn the kilt on formal nights (by whatever name) on all but Carnival. On Princess, there is almost always several more gentlemen in kilts, and usually on the others. Never out of place. I even had a (female) crew member thank me for wearing the kilt, on a Royal Caribbean cruise. I usually wear the regulation doublet on those nights. Oh, yes, several times on Princess there were wedding parties with all the men in kilts.

Well met new friend. I hope you will honor us with photos of your experiences while kilted. Surely there are some in the vacation photos you have saved.

Yes, Sir, I will attempt to do so.

Here I am (on the right) with a new (Canadian) friend I met on a Princess cruise to Hawaii.

Just speaking for myself, but when I go on cruises, I bring one each of: 5 yard kilt, hose and flashes, sporran, tuxedo shirt, dress shirt, bow tie, tie, black dress shoes, and a silver button black Argyll jacket and vest. While using not too much luggage space, I am able to dress for a variety of nights and levels of formality.

Incidentally, I have found that wearing the kilt on a cruise will net new friends, both among the other kilted folk, and with others who just seem naturally drawn to kilted men!
