Big Band Ball


This was the third night of the voyage. The evening theme was big band and the dress code was reduced to "Elegant Casual: jacket and tie for men, skirt or pant suit for women". Women wore everything from 1940s era cocktail dresses to bejeweled pantsuits and lots of men had saddle shoes and bowties. All the dances were jive or quickstep and the evening kicked off with a jive competition. The music was fantastic. We actually kicked it off with a bottle at the Veuve Cliquot Champagne Bar before dinner. Then we had about a five course dinner with lots of wine before arriving at this event. After quickstepping around the room here our group of six went on the the G32 club and were the only people there. We had a Band and two waiters and a bartender. Needless to say there was no line up to get a drink. I think this was my favourite night onboard. We finally fell into bed sometime after two.
