First Sea Day


We went to the buffet for breakfast. People could get seriously fat on these cruises !! We went to a galley tour where we saw where the food was prepared for feeding 2800 people . We went to an italian lesson and a glass blowing demonstation. We had lunch at the aqua cafe , cooked salmon and salad then went to the buffet for a dessert of kiwi sorbet and banana pudding. In the afternoon we separated, I went to an art auction and Jim went to a fitness talk which he said was very controversial . Then back to our room and watched "The Kings Speech".
At 6.45pm we passed through 2 islands so we went to the front of the boat to watch. The evening dinner was our first formal one and we were a little underdressed .Many men had proper tuxedos and womans evening dresses. We sat with 4 other couples, including the 2 woman from last night. It was interesting to meet everyone though we did have to steer around a heated discussion about climate change at one point.
I had frogs legs ,fish soup,rack of lamb and creme brulee. Jim had salmon entree,cold tangarine soup, chicken saltinbacco and creme brulee. It is like fine dining every night
We went to the solstice show and it was a type of circ du solei performance . The gymnasts were excellent, considering the show is on board a ship.
