I do not know who this guy is, one of the Star Wars props but he looked cool so I asked Rob to snap a photo as we walked by on our way up to take a nap.
After our nap we dolled up for the “Captains’ Reception”, yea free drinks!
These receptions are held only on the longer cruises of seven nights or more. They tend to be held on “formal” night so everyone is a bit dressed up. We were really excited to attend this reception and even changed our Palo dinner reservation to a different night so we would have plenty of time to enjoy the festivities. We have attended these in the past and the drinks were pretty good. Not so much this time. Meeting and chatting with the various captains though was awesome. It was interesting to hear about the different areas they were in charge of, like housekeeping, entertainment, etc. Once we finished conversing with the captains, we dumped our drinks and headed to the Skyline to complete another page in our passport.
Tonight’s drink of choice was a Paris 75, Grey Goose Citron Vodka, Peach schnapps, Blue Curacao, Pineapple juice, Sugared rim and a souvenir glow cube. I liked the cube but not the drink.
I let Rob enjoy this one by himself after taking a couple of sips. It was a very pretty drink.
Dinner tonight was in the Royal Court. We had a table for two that was hidden over in a corner, which was actually pretty nice except our servers tended to forget about us.... More on that later.
The carriage bread bowl. I wish you could buy these...
French Country Bread with an Olive Spread.
