17/08/2016, Monday night was the first formal night.

Formal night Celebrity style.You dress up a little if you want to and if you don't you can still dine in any old sweater and any old trousers,even in sneakers should you so wish and many men did. On a Cunard ship this just would not do. But frankly I do not care anymore. As long as people do not smell I close my eyes to everything even if not my nose. I dress as I please. Have never,in fact ,packed as few clothes as on this cruise and am beginning to think even the few are few too many. Was one of the first in at 6,a table by the window. Perfection. Salmon starter,a concoction of ingredients I do not remember anymore. Divine. Goose beautifully presented and so tender,was melting in the mouth. New York cheese cake,a firm favourite on Celebrity ships. And up to bed. THE MARTIAN on TV. Could life be any more wonderful?
