Does this mean Amerikilts, Utilikilts or USAkilts are out?

Other than the formal night (Norwegian only has one for a seven night cruise), there will be six evening meals. Since I will probably only wear them for a few hours a night, I think I can get away with my Edwards Cilt for non-formal nights, and rotate among a few shirts for variety, also changing hose and flashes to coordinate. That way I can minimize the amount of clothes I pack (seems like I always take twice as much as I'll need. I'll save the bright red MacIan kilt to make a statement on formal night.

Now I just need to figure out what to take for daywear. I know I'll take my desert camo Pittsburgh kilt, but I should probably have one other day kilt to rotate, maybe my Buzz Kidder khaki canvas kilt. I'm taking inventory now in case I need to order some more accessories.

I may actually make this trip completely kilted.8)

I doubt if USAkilts would be a problem, as most people wouldn't know the difference. One might have to explain the other, non-tartan kilts, although they would be fine for day wear. They probably wouldn't notice a Stillwater for that matter, unless someone knew what he was looking for, just wear it in a traditional manner. In my cruising experience (I've been on four but never kilted), most people don't get that dressed up, even on formal night.

Isn't that just sad, though. Things are way too casual these days. You'd think that people would be chompin' at the bit to dress up and make it a special occaision.

I enjoy dressing up occasionally and really like dressing to the nines for formal nights on cruises. I would like to get dressed up more often, but the occasions just aren't there. I might feel different if I had to wear a suit and tie all the time, but I don't.

At one time people would put on a jacket and tie to go to dinner at a DINER, let alone a really nice restaurant. Now it seems that some people think dressing for dinner means wearing the sweats without the holes.

It's just part of our casual society.

And once men wore jackets, ties and hats to baseball games.

Go to a Sox game now and you're lucky if their wearing pants!

(Incidentally, I wore a kilt to watch EVERY White Sox playoff game...and look what happened.)

I've got my travel documents now, so I'm almost ready to go (still have to pack my clothes). I've got my evening wear all figured out and now I have to throw in something for daywear.

I'm leaving Sunday from Philadelphia for a week. I need this break. I haven't been on a trip since February of last year. Well there was the trip with family to Florida for Christmas, but that doesn't count, it was with family.:rolleyes:

I'll think of you when I'm sippin' pina coladas by the pool.

Try not to post TOO much while I'm gone.
