We had a disappointing specialty meal in La Cucina last night. Our starters we good, I had lasagne and MrCT had the risotto. Both were tasty, serviced hot and delicious. For our mains we both chose pizza. Mine was overly cheesy and I could barely see or taste the tomato. I had two bites but knew I didn’t want it. So asked for it to be taken away. I have never known my Mr CT leave pizza before but he got through half of his then stopped. The desserts were good. I loved my fabulously creamy panna cotta and Mr CT enjoyed his tiramisu but just ate half as it was so rich and overly large portion. IAlthough we said hello to the manager as we walked in, and he returned the greeting, he did not approach us at any time throughout our meal. I beckoned him over before we left, to explain why we didn’t eat our food, as we thought it important to get feedback for future information. He listened, said “I’m not charging you!” Turned, then walked away! I was surprised at this and left doubting his suitability for the management role. Maybe he gets a lot of complaints but part of being a manager is to deal with these. I was not complaining, just explaining. So I was further surprised at his cold attitude and lack of people skills. Although happy we didn’t have to pay, we won’t return to La Cucina.

Things have improved on way back with warmth and he took it onboard that he needed to hold the mic to his face for us to hear! We were told, no time to stop there but nice restaurant. Beautiful castle there but no time to stop. This is a great view but, no time to stop. I’ll be glad to be back onboard and looking forward to my dinner having skipped lunch today! Wouldn’t mind a cuppa either! 😅

Sadly, I would not recommend this tour. The coach was late leaving, hit traffic and was freezing cold. We didn’t stop until we got here so no way to tell them we were cold as yelling from the back didn’t work! 😅Also tour guide didn’t know how to use his mic so nearly all of it could not be heard. He was alerted twice by my calling out but I gave up on the end. Apparently he put the mic between his legs so that’s why we couldn’t hear him. Our ships in the background of that third photo- across the bay!

Pack layers. Today is windy so I have a thicker jumper on. I brought jeans and also thinner trousers (hoping!) but they are great for evenings on the ship. I hope I don’t jinx it with this comment but we haven’t seen any rain yet! 🤞 I also have a heavy rain coat but also a warm shawl I take out if there’s no rain forecast. I hope this helps.

O’Sheehan’s for a quick pot of Earl Grey before getting ready for our excursion this PM. it’s really quiet on the ship with most people taking the opportunity to enjoy a full day of exploring this beautiful country. Even the main dining room I closed for lunch with a notice directing people to the buffet. From our booth window, there’s a good view of the tenders going backwards and forwards from ship to land.

Next we went toO’Sheehan’s bar for our dinner as we fancied something light and quick. Really great food and service in there. then we popped into the show, which was Chloe Barry’s second performance. It was great and she sang all kinds of different songs of different styles to please everyone. We were at the back so no great photos!
