since i have never cruised befor i am just wondering which is considered the most formal of the two nights. i know there is a capt. dinner. do they consider this the most glamorous night and the second still formal but a little tamed down as far as dress. i sure dont want to miss out on the lobster. can someone tell me, do they post the menu outside the dining room during the day so you can see what will be served?

thanks for any info. dusty

Yes, the menu is usually posted outside the dinning rooms, and usually run during the day on the ship's TV channel for information.

Since on most ships you meet and shake hands with the Captain most people tend to dress a little more formal the first night. Of course it is a great photo opp for the cruise lines.

Dusty--

On the Spirit the daily menus for lunch and dinner are displayed in two locations right outside the dining room on deck 2. One set of menus is in a glass case on the left wall right at the glass doors leading into the dining room. The other is on a stand at the foot of the stairs. The one by the glass door also has a breakfast menu displayed that does not change. I like the concept noted by Joe re: menu on TV; however, I have never seen this on any of my cruises.

Of my 4 cruises aboard the Spirit the Captain has never been in the 'receiving line' at the Welcome Aboard Party--just the Cruise Director and his/her staff. The only time I've seen the Captain on that ship is when he is up on stage introducing his staff.

Enjoy!

Both nights are equally formal, some dress to the nines, some don't. I enjoy both night and dress up for both.

I save the most comfortable formal clothes for the second formal night. That way I don't have to strugle dressing with all the weight I gained at the start of the cruise :smile

We had a wonderful time on the Spirit.

Have a great cruise!
