Thanksgiving - will they have a different menu for us Americans on the ship? By mid-afternoon, I've seen no mention of turkey anywhere, and that's just as well.

We thought of going for breakfast in the dining room, but we ended up in the buffet for both breakfast and lunch. However, neither of us wanted to get up until 9:30, so we ended up in the buffet instead. It was a dreary day outside, and we were glad to be indoors as the rains came in.
After lunch, RQS went off to an art class, while I stayed in the room resting. I knew I would have to change clothes for "Gala Night". And I wanted to wait until the last minute, which I did. (I'll bet it's related to a GI Tract issue I have, details I won't go into now.) This would be the first time that RQS would see me in a suit with traditional white shirt and tie (I'd have rather presented as Marian on this trip), and I looked halfway decent for presenting as Mario.
We had a scare that Cunard's computer system dropped our reservations for dinner. So, we walked over the main dining room to check on things, and again - Cunard's wonky computer system got in our way. We just learned NOT to trust their system, but to trust the people in charge of the venues to get things right. Dinner was good. I enjoyed the Chateaubriand, while RQS enjoyed the Thanksgiving Turkey. However, we encountered a miss with dessert - the Pear and Ginger cake needed some kind of sweet drizzle over it to make the dish work.
After a brief stop in our room, we went to the ship's theater to see a stage show. Since I'm not a great fan of dance shows, I knew I'd be underwhelmed. But these performers were competent, and I enjoyed a couple of songs performed by the singers.
