Can someone tell me about "White Hot Nite" and Monte Carlo Nite? When it is, clothing to wear, food, objective? Also: I know, I know that the prices have been mentioned before, but could someone who recently went on Spirit let me know the present prices at

1. La Trottoria

2. Teppanyaki

3. Cagney's

4. Le Bistro

5. Shogun

6. Jazz Brunch/Buffet - charge?

7. Is the Casino Buffet no charge?

And lastly, whew!: could someone tell me if there are "enhanced educational programs and are there any charges?

 

Thanks so much to all who can answer; I really appreciate your help!

Descriptions from the Dailies:

 

Monte Carlo Night (first sea day, 10:15pm-??): Is the Joker wild enough? Mais oui! This is Casino Extraordinaire...Join your entertaining Gazillionaire along with the Freestyle Showgirls for an evening of tantalizing entertainment. Get in on the free raffles and make sure you have your Player's Club card for even more intense play. You won't want to miss it. Bon chance!

 

White Hot Party (Guatemala day, 10:30pm-??): Feel the bass pumping as you walk through a wonderland of white with music starting at 10:00pm. Our white hot angel dancers melt the ice with you on the dance floor all night long. If you don't have white to wear, then get your angel wing t-shirt from the gift shop. Blanco Baby!

 

The Monte Carlo night was nothing special IMO - the casino seemed the same as every other night. I did not go to the White Hot Party.

What is the casino buffet? We were on the dawn in 2007 and I don't remember anything about a casino buffet... is this something unique to the spirit?

the casino buffet it not a big deal, but it can be nice snacks. it's (usually) about 11:30 in the casino. one 6' ft table with different things each night..one night it may be all desserts and cookies, other nights: sandwiches, another night: veggies, chips and dips..once it was wings.

not something i would go looking for, but it was nice if i was in the casino.

i don't remember the star having one?

I think casino late-night snacks are available on every NCL ship.

I appreciate all the info that I can get w/Cruise Critic - thanks to all! I have a couple other questions:

 

1. what nite is the Latitude's Party and do they still do a Captain's Party (what nite?).

 

2. at the sail away, do they still serve free rum punch? yum! :D

 

I hope that I can be as helpful answering questions for people when I get back - only 61 days to go................................

for all latitude levels, the party may be in the afternoon of the 1st sea day. the silver and above..it's an evening cocktail party later in the week.

no free drinks at sail-a-way...but they have started a free embarkment drink.

captain's night is the 1st sea day..they don't really have a party, but they do have photo ops set up in the lobby. you will see some dress up formally, most will be resort casual.
