Tonight is formal night number 2. We all dressed up in our finery after a day of exercise, pool time, hot tub, casino and even a little Wimbledon on the telly. We had an afternoon cocktail party on the combined decks of Schweitzer, Willis and Swan. Their decks were able to open together and we had enough room for everyone. It was pretty cold, however. We had to wear jackets! That was a first for this trip. We are so lucky, as this little bit of cold weather was a day at sea and not one in one of our ports of call. We sampled pomegranate wine from Sirince, ouzo, and other adult beverages. We also had wonderful appetizers from the room service menu!
I must say this group cleans up nicely. We had a lovely dinner of lobster or prime rib or whatever else stuck our fancy. Each night we have the choice of about 7 entrees. When you can’t decide, they’ll bring you two, right Scott? I think he tried double entrees many a night, along with Pete a few times. Jan, however, always went for the double appetizer or soup course. I don’t think a night went by that Jan didn’t try a cold fruit soup. They really were good, but I just can’t see eating cold fruit after my appetizer and before dinner. I usually went for the salads or a hot soup, like French Onion or lobster bisque. After dinner we posed for a few photos then headed to the show. Tonight was supposed to be the best show of the trip, so we didn’t want to miss it. It turned out to be wonderful! Now I know why the singing wasn’t always the best, because the same people who did the singing and dancing were really there to do the acrobatics - that was their forte! It was a mini Cirque de Soleil. The dancers were on high wires, trapeze, balancing on pointed handholds, juggling boxes or flying over the audience. It really was a great show. A wonderful way to end a formal night.
