Way ahead of you. I've seen everything from an Aloha shirt, a polo shirt, dress shirts with with or without a tie and with or without a jacket, military full dress and mess dress, and tuxedos.

Some previous passengers who wore their kilts wore PC or Argyll for the formal, and a ghillie shirt for the semi-formal. I'm OK with the Argyll for the formal, but NOT a ghillie shirt for the semi-formal - I'd rather wear the Argyll again, but in a different configuration such as with a vest and long tie.

Some previous passengers said they like to see men wear kilts on the cruises - and being an XMTS that works totally for me!

I don't plan to wear day-wear on the cruise as I'll either be on the beach or at the pool. I could wear go casual if the need arises, but I won't need a tweed jacket while ashore and certainly not in the Caribbean!.
