Well, Santa did not get stuck in the funnel. We got a small present from CMV's Santa. CMV cufflinks for me and a mirror compact for Danuta. We also got a boxed set of playing cards and poker dice.

I had hung up one of my kilt socks but was disappointed. No apple, orange or tangerine, not even a selection box. Probably just as well there was no selection box what with all the food on offer.

The evening dinner was a full Christmas menu - six courses ( pushed the boat out and bought Champagne). Then to crown it all at 11pm there was a full buffet with beautifully presentation of food and various table decorations made of chocolate, ice carvings and fruit carvings. (See pics). You would think that some people had been starved the whole day with the platefuls they were mopping up. We preferred to drink and dance our way into Boxing Day with friends we have made during the cruise.
