    Re: Kilted on Queen Mary 2 Cruise

    Looking good Jimmy, must have been a great vacation. I agree with all Grizzly says and the positive comments fare outweighed the one negative (the green eye no doubt).
    Thanks for sharing.

    Re: Kilted on Queen Mary 2 Cruise

    I thought the ship was going down from the first two photos but I'm glad the old girl righted herself by photo three... those must have been some waves!

    Thank you for sharing; you certainly look like you enjoyed the trip. Was it a special occasion or just a jaunt?

    Unfortunately I haven't yet totally mastered getting photos correctly on the site yet, my apologies for making you and anybody else having to crane your necks.
    No special occasion, I just like cruising

    My thoughts as well - the ship sure was rolling to the side! Reminded me of a storm I was in during my Navy days.

    I like going on cruises as well, though so far the wife prefers me to wear a tux instead of a kilt. However, when we take a cruise to Canada next fall I'll be taking a kilt instead of a tux. I've already told her that when we go on Cunard in the near future that I'm taking a kilt.

    Thanks, I enjoyed it thoroughly, although the diet has to start now, all you do is eat all day long even though you are never hungry

    I agree with both Eck and Simon. Glad to see you look so well in your kilt and obviously having a good time

    Re: Kilted on Queen Mary 2 Cruise

    Nice pictures Jimmy and glad you enjoyed your cruise.

    Just one thing - I don't see any sgian dubhs being worn - is that a personal choice or Cunard policy? Some cruise companies worry about the liner being hijacked and won't allow them I gather.

    I don't bring my sgian dubh abroad and have never had it with me on any cruise. I would assume the Cunard policy would prohibit wearing a sgian dubh but I cannot say for certain. Although I have a fairly expensive sgian dubh I never wear it now because wherever you go wearing it people always want to see it and handle it. Knives of all sorts frighten me and I now feel its better not wearing a sgian dubh especially with the knive culture in Scotland
