Like usual we are not doing formal wear. We do dress smart casual and we feel
comfortable. I no longer let what people
wear bother me. It is everyone’s trip
and they can do what they want. I do
agree that people should adhere to the dress code if they wish to dine in the
dining rooms though.
This cruise is no different than many we have been on in the
past few years. There is a whole array
of dress. From very very casual to very
very formal. In fact I saw one woman in
a very stunning dress that looked more like a ball gown that I am sure cost a
heck of a lot of money and probably took a whole suitcase to pack. She looked lovely! A bit too much for me but I do appreciate the
look.
It really is all
about “your” vacation and what you wish to do.
There are tons of venues to attend if you do not wish to dress up.
The Patter states “Formal – when formal nights are held,
please observe the suggested dress code in the Traditional Dining and Anytime
Dining venues for he enjoyment of all our guests.”
We are dressed and out of the cabin at 6 pm and decide to head
to Vines for some wine. We enjoy a
bottle of Pacific Bay and watch all the people.
Again I love Vines, but this Vines does not have very
comfortable seating. We end up taking
two seats at the bar as sitting at the barrel table is just to difficult in a
dress.
It is the Captain’s Welcome Aboard Party. The champagne waterfall is set up in the
Atrium and the Captain is walking around shaking hands with everyone. What a great Captain. He is always out and about mingling with the
passengers.
In fact the Captain even helped pour some champagne on top
of the waterfall!
Champagne is being served.
It is a lovely atmosphere. Although
I do have to say it is not as grand as it use to be.
They use to serve canapes
and the place use to be packed. Many
more officers would mix and mingle and it was a special time. But I guess like many things, things change
with the time. It is much more casual
now. Whether that is a good or bad, who knows
but personally I am ready for something different.
We duck out just prior to the introduction of the officers
to go to dinner before it gets crazy.
It is now around 9 pm and we are wandering. There is a lot going on but we just don’t
feel like doing anything.
The Production Show Fantastic Journey is being shown in the
Princess Theater and we would like to see it but we think we will check it out
another sailing.
The Yes/No Game show is also happening and I love that show
but Bernie finds it boring so I don’t want to drag him.
Jon Jones is a great performer playing his guitar and
singing and we sit and enjoy that for a bit.
AJ Clark is the piano player who starts right after Jon and we decide to
call it an early night.
We head back to the cabin and watch a movie.
One thing I noticed is the tv on demand does not have a
music stations like the Royal has.
Other things happening tonight are: Photo Opportunity throughout the ship, LGBT Get
Together, Charme Duo is playing dancing music in the Wheelhouse, Singles and
Solo Get Together, Movie Avengers: Infinity War is at Muts, What the Heck
Trivia, Family Karaoke Hour, Duo Dream is performing in the Atrium, Teens Rock
the Boat Party, Yes/No Game Show, Karaoke Roulette, 90’s Power Hour in the disco
and much more.
Giggle for the day:
some passengers were chatting with a head waiter when they asked him “do
you ever get a day off” his response was priceless “we don’t get a day off but
a few hours each day, but if we could talk all the passengers into not eating
for one day we could get a day off” of course he was just joking around. Everyone laughed.
