I do enjoy the occasional Mo-jito while cruising. Now that I've gone keto, my plan is to order a Mo-jito at Bolero's, and ask the bartender not to use the simple syrup (sugar water). I'll ask for Club Soda only, along with the rum, mint and lime. Next I'll squirt some liquid Stevia in the glass to take the place of the missing syrup. I hope this works... then I'll have a Keto-jito.

This reply is for MEN ONLY. Women, DO NOT read this post! Okay, now that we men are together by ourselves.... here's where I stand on formal night. Women like to dress up. Sorry but they do. Ask the wife what she's wearing. Ask her to suggest something for you. She is thinking not just what you or she will look like, she'll be thinking what you'll look like together, standing in that line or in front of the photographer. Of course you can suggest a slight downgrade "Honey the jacket is nice but I don't think the tie is necessary" might get you out of the tie, but if the wife wants to dress to the hilt.... sorry bud, you will too. Think about it... it's all really about making them happy, and if a night or two of pinched collars, tight shoes and sweating in a jacket will do it, it's really a small price to pay. When dinner's over suggest grabbing a drink to take back to the room. Then change out of that monkey suit as fast as you can and continue on with your plans for the night.

That's how I do it also on "formal night", but I do wear a tie. However, no socks and I go commando style, much to my wife's chagrin. Hey it is formal night indeed! 

Just an update... 12 days before the cruise and the onboard credit was applied to our cruise planner! I turned right around and applied it to the deluxe drink package. (still on sale by the way) . I'm a happy cruiser.

AWESOME!!! Play me some Bee Gees!!!

Heck yea! Groovy bell bottoms, wide brim bandanna, 6" heels, mood rings topped off with a leisure suit for Formal night. I'm with you!  We're going in April too... see you there!!
(I hope we don't embarrass our wives too much) Far out man! Groovy

A few years old but the trend remains close to this.  All peaks in this graph correspond to school and/or college breaks.

Want a cheap cruise?  Dec 8 or 15 on Oasis.  Freshly refurbished.  Cheap rates.  The early December time frame and mid-January remain some of the cheapest times to cruise and are mostly K-12 free.   Right after Labor day is not bad either.
 
 
 

We vacation with friends from NJ once or twice each year, Florida, SC, NC beaches. Every week we spend together they always have to have at least one pizza night. We truly love these people but secretly DREAD pizza night. We have never found edible pizza according to those two, even though my wife and I have been satisfied with the selection every time. Our friends use the colorful NJ dialect to describe the pizza every time. But that being said.... there are never any leftovers. My wife and I are  going on Oasis in two weeks. We may give Sorento's a try but not high on the priority list.
I have had the most fun reading this thread.... I hope I'm not late for work!!

I gotta go with Waaaytooooo as well.
 
Look, it ain't artisanal, I get it.  But when the time comes, and we all know what time I'm talking about, Sorrento's is as good an option 
as there is on the boat!  If I'm looking a little cock-eyed and listing a bit when I walk, I don't want lobster or prime rib - just gimme some za, even Sorrento's.

Frozen, microwaveable pizza they sell at gas stations still beats Sorrentos and that's about as mass produced as it gets.  There has to be more to it than that.  I must understand this!
You mention Indy's pizza being different and somehow more horrible, so maybe that's a clue?  Majesty's my only Sorrentos experience so far.
I'm sailing on the Allure this coming March.  I will try the Sorrentos there and report back.  For science.
