Their requirements for the evening meals say things like no shorts, bare feet, etc., but I thought it was interesting they would specifically mention kilts.
I'll have to admit, I also found the following a bit humorous:
Hey Dave,
while in Bermuda be sure to tell my folks I said hi!!! Thats where i am originally from!!!
And be sure to let me know how the kilt goes over while there - although NCL mentions it in thier literature, i dont recall EVER seeing one worn on anyone other than a bagpiper when i was a kid - then again if it was a solid color it woudl have blended it with the Bermuda shorts and been less noticable...
You might want to stop into the English Sports Shop which is right on Front Street (which is where your ship will dock while in Hamilton - they also have branches in Somerset & St Georges - the other possible ports of call) . There you will find all sorts of tartan items and regalia - you can also grab up a bunch of Bermuda Knee High socks for use with your kilts - they come in nice thick wools or thinner cottons - primarily in navy, black & grey, but lighter shades are also available - they are NOT textured like true kilt hose (and not smooth like stockings either for that matter!!!) but are much less expensive & will do in a pinch...Take a look here for visual
There used to be a shop called the Irish Linen Shop at the corner of Front & Queen Streets that had lots of irish items - linens, sheets tea towels etc - dunno if its still there but worth the
Private me for a full sales pitch on that lovely little island in the sea...
