Day 5, 3rd formal night, Royal Ascot Ball


The Ascot Ball is a long standing tradition aboard the Cunard ships. It's a formal ball like most of the other evenings, tuxedos for the men and evening gowns for women but this has the added hat thing going on complete with a hat contest and prizes. While everyone is in their best frocks, the actual hats are often handmade during the day out of whatever people find on board. Joel's construction paper top hat made him a finalist for the evening. The picture above shows him being interviewed in the ballroom about his particular hat-making technique. Yes, he had a very good time.
