rotation dining question

[rsjj]

I'm trying to figure out when is the best time for me to book Palo. We'll be on a 7 night Western cruise. So whatever our rotation is, let's say APLAPLA, the second time we rotate over to A, it wouldn't be the special color change themed dinner thing, correct? Am I making sense? And I've read that Monday night is Captain's Gala, so does that mean when we rotate over to L the second time around, (Thursday) the menu would be the regular L menu? I hope someone can help with this, or at least clarify. Thank you!

This is all so very confusing! And fun & exciting in a crazy way!

btw, how do you get that countdown thing? I've just registered, and this is acutally my 5th post! My very first thread!!!!!!!
