Thank you all for your input. I appreciate the comments. And Nanabeth, thanks for the idea of sharing the bottle of champagne. We are scheduled for the Chef's table on the first night of the cruise. I think I'll just bring the bottle, since I'm not a big champagne guy.(unless, and this is true, I add some diet coke to it). I know -- sacrilege, right? I actually got the idea of mixing in some Diet Coke from Tom Hanks (he mentioned it once on Colbert).
Cheers!
