November 3 - The last formal night

Hard to see, but this is a really long ship!


A sea day again. The chop has subsided and the ship isn’t moving as much. Tonight is the last formal night and I decided to get my hair done. Somehow I can never get my hair to do what these stylists can do.


Tonight we went to Sabatinis with what I have dubbed the “Gang of Eight,” two of our fellow Virginia couples and our honorary Virginians from the Chicago area. We had a great dinner and managed to be the last people to leave the restaurant.


I should mention something more about this place Sabatinis. It’s one of the alternative restaurants up on Deck 16. I think it is the most beautiful restaurant I have seen on a ship at sea. There are windows looking out to both sides of the ship and to a little terrace with fountains. It is a truly wonderful venue, but that’s not what makes it so special. What really does the trick is the staff. Marius from Romania is the Head Waiter and he does an exceptional job. He has been at Sabatinis for 4 cruises that we’ve done and he takes exceptional care of us. The team that works with him does a great job as well. I don’t know what I shall do when I’m home and not pampered like this.
