Kilted on the Cruise

[davedove]

Just a few days ago I got back from my 12 night cruise of the eastern Mediterranean aboard the Carnival Freedom. We had stops in Italy, Greece and Turkey. I of course wore my kilt for formal night and it got a lot of attention.

I think every person from the Japanese contingent aboard took my picture, as well as several other folks. I was even interviewed on video by one of the entertainment staff because I had on the kilt. A table mate was certainly surprised when an attractive lady approached our table and asked if she could have a picture taken with the kilted man. He said maybe he should get a kilt.

Here's a picture I had taken with some lovely ladies from Miami. They said they had to get their picture taken with the man in the kilt. I agreed, but only if they let me have a picture as well. Unfortunately, I forgot the flash, so the picture is kind of dark. I did try to lighten it up, but there's only so much you can do.



I had spent time with these ladies before. They were on a couple of tours with me, and we spent time at the karaoke parties on board.

In case you're wondering, the medal I'm wearing is a Carnival medal I received for participating in the talent show the night before. Everyone received one. I figured I wouldn't have anyplace else to wear it, so I put it on for formal night.
