Newbie needs advice - kilts and cruising

[Wareyin]

One bit of advice for your sporran is to remember that you will be going through customs, and that may be a hassle as some furs are prohibited. When I wore my kilt on my cruise, I deliberately chose a rabbit furred sporran because I wouldn't be too upset if I lost it to customs. I was on a Carnival Cruise, and the vast majority of "formal wear" worn for the formal dinner was polo shirts and slacks. There were even some wearing shorts to the formal dinner. From what I hear, other cruise lines may be more strict, but keep in mind that you are likely to be the only one kilted, and even in a black argyle will likely be the most formally dressed there.

That said, the lighting is dim, no one will be looking at your shoes, and very, very few would likely be critical of your sporran whatever you choose. Enjoy the chance to strut your stuff a little with dressing up, and your wife will look better than you in her outfit no matter what color she chooses, as wives always do!
