The Starring You Gala sounds like a nice alternative to the Mid-Night buffet as well. I know they are positioning the lavish brunch as the replacement, but the after part food and beverage event sounds fun as well.

I like the "Smart Casual and Above" terminology. I guess if only 30% of the pax were complying with the informal it makes it hard to enforce. We loved informal nights, and DS has said he still want to wear his blazer, so it looks like he won't be over dressed if he chooses to wear it. I have one or two dresses that will still be over dressed for smart casual, and not quite as fancy as I like for formal, so I may not bring those dresses.

Glad to also hear that they plan to make formal nights still very special evenings. I love the formal ambiance. I am also glad that they will be keeping 3 on a 14 night cruise. That means three when we take our TA in Novmember. Now I just have to pick which three dresses!!
