Formal Night

We had one formal night on the cruise.  We got all dressed up, listened to some live music and enjoyed a delicious dinner. 

 

 

 

The Show Band, our favorite band on the ship

 Curtis enjoys dancing.  So why not dance during dinner, right?  Michelle did accept the offer, but her cheeks were a pretty shade of red!

Guys, please don't hate me for posting this video!  I think it's adorable!

What's there to do on a cruise ship?  Eat, eat, eat and have a drink or two.  The food was amazing!

For breakfast, you could choose from the omelet station, the hot buffet, pastries and fruit bar, and cold breakfast choices.  Lance's favorite were the omelets.  I also enjoyed the omelets and the chocolate muffins.  We were on vacation, so chocolate muffins were acceptable for breakfast of course. 

For lunch, you could choose from pizza, the deli, the grill, salad bar, All American food, and there was always a station with food from a different country each day.  And, of course, the dessert bar.  We ate in the dining room every evening where there were at least 10 different appetizer and main dish choices every night.  There was also a separate dessert menu.  Everyone ventured out and tried a new dessert each night, but not me.  I had THE BEST dessert the first night and couldn't imagine anything better.  So, I ate it EVERY evening for dessert.  More on the WARM CHOCOLATE MELTING CAKE to come.  It definitely deserves its own blog post!

My favorite was the lasagna. 

 

Now I thought Mara LOVED ice cream, but Lance ate more than his share of ice cream cones.  The ice cream machine was available 24 hours a day.  So...  He had one for breakfast one morning.  He occasionally had more than one after lunch.  You know, one while we were still sitting and one "to go."  And yes, he even ate them for a midnight snack.  He is having withdrawals, so we had to stop for ice cream in Adel after the park the other night. 

My drink of choice was a Strawberry Daiquiri.
