Tonight is formal night. When we began preparing for the cruise, I was intent on taking my tuxedo, but alas, these past few months have found me packing on a few more pounds so it no longer fits. From experience, most men wear a suit and tie anyway, so that’s the approach I took. Susan chose an elegant black sequined dress.
We had our professional photos taken and while waiting in line, met another couple, Suzanne and Charles. We hit it off with them immediately and decided to meet up to dine together this evening.
The food was fantastic and the service attentive. From braised mignons of beef to halibut to shrimp newburg, we did not go hungry.
During our dinner, we discovered that Charles is a retired police officer from the City of San Gabriel in Southern California! What is it about cops? Do they just naturally gravitate toward each other. Strange indeed.
Susan and I strolled the lounges until we found a four-piece combo named “Grooveline,” featuring a Black lead singer with a voice like velvet who played and sang our danceable styles of music. We danced until 1 am.
