Baked Alaska

During our 7 day cruise, formal dinner was every evening at 8:30. Though we always had the option of going to eat a buffet or have a seated informal dinner in a different dining room, we loved our table so much that we wanted to go to dinner with them every night. This however meant dressing up (no jeans, flip flops, or tank tops). Two of the evenings were formal nights. We are talking ladies in their full length beaded sequined gowns dressing up. For me, formal night meant wearing eye liner. Above is a shot of DG in our room amusing himself while I was putting my face on.

Every night we were seated with the same group of people. I don't know how they pair you up, but Celebrity did us right! We were seated with 3 other couples that were young and fun and that we wanted to hang out with even after our 2 1/2 hour dinner was over.

Even our wait staff was great. Everyone was from a different country. Debravko our waiter was from Croatia and Lorenzo our wait staff was from Honduras. They honestly treated us like kings and queens. Debravko had been on the ship for 7 months, working 7 days a week. This was the last week of his contract where he was going back to Croatia to spend a couple of months with his wife before heading back onto the ship. During our last formal evening, Lorenzo and Debrako pose with our dessert, Baked Alaska.
