How about formal night. What a crock that is. Let's see I'm getting dressed up for my wife who seen me where a suit to work for 30 years. But I get to lug around extra set of clothes that I'll wear for a couple hours. Now I remember that was "the bait" the cruise line used to take your picture and sell them as memories at the end of the cruise. No wonder there is a surcharge on lobster now - everyone has a cell phone with a camera. Goodbye to that revenue stream.

cruising has changed since we started back in the 80's. Prom is so over for us....
But, we went on Carnival and sat next to the captains table. the older gentleman that we sat with ordered lobster and escargo every night for dinner, and they brought it. Who knew?
I ordered steak on the QE2 and they told me I would have to settle for Lamb.
