Sounds neat! The tour aspect definitely sounds fun to me, I've never been on a luxury liner before.
Depending on interest, I might try to continue my tradition of getting together a Middle Eastern dinner party at Dar Maghreb in Hollywood (the place the tradition started at back in my early PBP days) either the Friday evening before prom or the Sunday after.
(ND and I would like to host a BBQ at our place the Friday before Prom...maybe Sunday would work, Matt?)
Omnis, that sounds amazing, but I suspect I will not have the $$ or the ability to drag my butt out of bed that early on Sunday after Prom. I will ponder, however.
Yay! Now to become employed so we can afford to go! Because there is NO WAY I am missing this. I want to see my peeps!
I really wish we could go, but between the house and two destination weddings that we have to attend, there is just no way. Someone go have a cuppa at Rosetree Cottage for me.
I can't see myself dragging my butt up early on Sunday. I'll be at prom until the end then I'll have to strike sound gear and bring it back home. It will make for a late night.
I will cross my fingers that the new job schedule allows me to come!
Hmmm, tell me more . . .
I had the best meal of my life there in 2000 for a Bronzer's birthday, and have made a point of trying to return every time I've visited LA since. It has not just the best Moroccan food I've ever eaten, but the best food, full stop.
The interior is done up like a Middle Eastern palace, with an interior courtyard/fountain and low couches arranged around round laquered tables. The meals are multi-course and shared by everyone at the table from big communal platters. Highlights include hot mint tea, savory b'stilla pastry, quail shish-ka-bob, and braised lamb with honey and prunes. And they have belly dancers performing on Friday and Saturday nights.
I figured it was a long shot. That early after the Prom and all. But I'm putting it out there. Since we gotta get up to check out of the hotel anyhow. What's an hour earlier to have yummy food in First Class dining on classic ship?
Eh. Just an idea.
Matt, why Friday or Sunday, not our traditional Prom night extravaganza?
