Yeah some guys have it easy!
I'll have to practice the last weekend of Sept, I'll be in London for only 3 days. If I'll manage to pack light for that trip I'll manage for the cruise too.
That's a good idea about something a bit more fancy for the main dining room. Hadn't even thought about that!
btw, you seem to know a lot about this ship we'll be traveling with, do you know how they deal with food for people who have food allergies?
