That brunch is not every day, is it?

JoeyandDavid · July 10, 2009

well i am not sure of the frequency.. they had it one morning on a 7 day cruise.. so this being doubled i don't know if they will do it more than once considering this is a longer voyage.. maybe John knows the correct answer..

The introduced the white night and the brunch a year ago when I was on Summit in Europe. The white night was one night that they encouraged everyone to wear white and served dinner around the pool area. They even draped some white banners, etc. I seem to remember them, too, last Sept on the Mercury, Joey. I was on there the week after you, on the last Alaska inside passage of the year for her.

The brunch is only 1 day, in the dining room, with carved ice figures, omelettes, carving stations, fresh shrimp, eggs benedict, waffles, fish, pastries, chicken, and much more.

I was locked out for a while and just got back in. Wouldn't let me log in at all. Jason emailed me that they are working on it. A patch they put in the software to address some other bugs seems to have created more problems, so the are removing the patch.

I don't think you can confirm it any more than you can confirm in advance when formal nights are. It is up to the ship's hotel director. On Mercury, because it was cold weather, it was indoors in one of the large lounges after dinner and lasted for hours with dancing.

On the Summit it was warm weather, so they could do dinner outdoors. I just wore white pants and a white celebrity t-shirt. My wife and daughter did similarly with simple white casual clothes.
