We came back to the ship after our snorkeling and taxi adventure, and decided to try Blu, the special Aqua class restaurant. We had never actually been to Blue before, and weren't sure what to expect. You can eat in Blu if you are in AQ, or if you are staying in a suite, if there space available, but we never had tried it prior.
Unfortunately, there are no pictures from that evening because the battery had run out on my camera and needed to be charged, so it was back in the room. The restaurant is very pretty, mostly white with blue accents (hence the name!) but the food was spectacular. I had gazpacho soup (delish!) some french onion soup (because I could!) and a chicken breast with veggies for the main course. For dessert, the favorite ice cream ever, After eight. What is it, you ask? Basically, mint chocolate chip ice cream where they use after eight mints as the chocolate chips. We had stumbled across this on our Solstice cruise a few years back, and hadn't seen it since. Jackpot!!!!
Now, what was interesting, was that this evening is considered formal night in the main dining room. Blu has it's own dress code (smart casual, basically no shorts) and we had decided to leave the fancy clothes at home even before we left. So, we were in our not-formals when we headed out to the Martini Bar for some people watching....which was spectacular! The definition of formal apparenty varies quite widely and there were many occurances of "just because you can get it on, doesn't mean it fits" with some of the clothing choices. We actually spent most of the time sitting in an adjacent area, because the Martini Bar WAS the place to see and be seen that night. We called it a night around 10pm, since we were all a little tired from the snorkeling adventure.
