20 Captain's Welcome Party - Formal night Yangtze Style...

There could never be a cruise without a Captains Welcome Party....

Well ladies leave the long dresses at home, because formal night on a Yangtze River Cruise means, put a necklace on and a bit lippy and you will be sure to dazzle...  You could pick the Aussie's on this cruise as they were the only ones with ties and jackets LOL.

We did convince the contiki guys that maybe tonight they should wear long pants, which to their credit they did...

Dinner was a bit fancier tonight as it was table service.

No champagne waterfall or lobster tails, but the Captain flanked by his officers did come around to each of the tables in our dining room for a chat, well maybe a head nod, and a photo opportunity.

Then later they made an appearance at the reception that was held in the atrium, where champagne and dessert was served.

There was a ballroom dance performance by the Yangtze Singers and Dancers. Beautifully dressed they swirled around the floor.  Then each of them broke away and encouraged guests to dance with them.... and of course no party is complete without a Chinese rendition of Nut-bush and the Chicken Dance.  It was fun!
