    Kilted crusing

    As soon as they got one look at us in full formal, prince charlie jackets and tux shirts, they were sold also.
    We had so much fun! From cat calls from a table of girls at dinner to 70yr old ladies asking what we had under them we had great fun.
    I was then hooked. I now own 3 kilts, one formal & two casual, the prince charlie jacket and vest and 3 sporrans.
    We can't wait until our next cruise.......

    I've warn my kilt on 3 cruises over the last 3 years and will be again next week when I'm off to Iceland! There has always been a few other guys kilted on the formal nights and occasionally casually after that.

    I was challenged once by a drunken Scot who implied I had no right to wear mine, but I put him in his place and frankly told him where to go!!!

    Walking on the prom deck, with a warm sea breeze swirling round your ankles is a wonderful feeling. I will endeavour to get some pics and post.

    Round your ankles? !!

    Must be a very long kilt you wear.

    Or is it just another euphemism?
