Hi there Dusty,
Glad to hear that the tissue papper worked well for you.
I really don't feel like I was bashed on the "skip formal night" post. Everybody has a take on things, some can voice opinions gently, others can go a bit overboard.
I think some posters thought that I felt "uncomfortable" going to formal night. I'm far from uncomfortable with formal attire and have the gowns to prove it! LOL
My problem was most of my group REALLY didn't want to bother with all the extra packing and fuss. For some, vacation means being comfortable and leaving the everyday uniform of suits and ties at home. I agree with you on being comfortable yet being nicely dressed on formal night. This is a wonderful cruise but for heaven's sake, it's not the Red Carpet!!
Many cruisers don't have an opportunity to dress up and I'm so happy to know that they feel special on formal night. We should all just be happy for each other and enjoy!
Boy, I rambled on. Thanks for the ear, Dusty.
Sodey,
I heard about the drycleaning bags and I'll be sure to try it next time. I spend way too much at the drycleaners, it's good to know I can use their bags for something.
Thanks so much!
