The show Wed. night was Island Magic. A really good steel drum band from Trinidad and Tobago. The theatre was packed again- go early for a seat!

A few pics of Club Orange:

We had dinner in CO. We both had the zucchini bisque, which was as good as we remembered. I had the daily special- braised short ribs- nice and tender. DH had the striploin but didn't really care for it. We also shared a small dish of Beechers mac n cheese, because we've read about it on CC but never had it before. It was pretty good, sharper cheese taste than I expected and Roy (rafinmd) is right- the crust is the best!

Wednesday afternoon I went to a Mixology class.  The topic was mojitos and margaritas. I'm not a big drinker and really knew nothing about them so it was fun and informative. They made 4 drinks, explaining the methods and tools along with a lot of banter and dancing bartenders. I tasted all 4 but drank only 2, enough booze for me! But I think my favourite was the regular mojito. For the price, $15, I think it was worth it; lasted about an hour and 20 minutes.

Heading out for a tour in Curacao soon. More later!

I tried the gingerbread latte, found it too sweet. But the spiked eggnog is heavenly!

We are en route to Curacao, going extra fast to get there sooner. Apparently someone is critically ill, and the captain called for blood donors. Fingers crossed.

Lunch was at Dutch Cafe: pea soup, Beenham sandwich, apple pie, vanilla/gingerbread latte.

Out and about:

Art of the day:

Our Gala menu dinner last night. I took photos of the menu and the CO dining room but they didn't upload in jpg. Thankfully the meals did! 

DH had the rack of lamb, very good. We both had the tomato-chive-potato-dumpling soup. It was really good. The tomato part was the best, the potato cubes and one dumpling were not needed.

The Morimoto lobster was very good- so tender, and just lightly spiced. It came with a bowl of rice to soak up the sauce. Would I have it again? Yes! Dessert was the flourless chocolate cake. Tiny, but good.

Another sea day today- very choppy water this morning, definitely rocking and rolling! We ordered room service for breakfast. They said it would be an hour, but it came in half that time. 

Didn't go to the show last night- it was the Musicology with One Step dancers. Last night the meal in CO was terrific with the Gala menu for dressy night. Will post photos in a bit as I am off to the M&G this am. But, spoiler alert, I took the plunge and tried the Morimoto lobster!

I must have missed the memo on earlier cruises about the for-purchase coffees in the Lido! Didn't know this was there. 

Have to reload some photos. Moving on to Art of the Day:

Not sure what happened  with the menu photos above!

Had a nice CO breakfast this morning, a sea day. Enjoyed the figs, OJ and pancakes. For lunch we went to Pinnacle Grill, not very crowded. Slow service though, not many servers working there. I had my favourite lemongrass seafood soup, and roast beef sandwich with onions and bbq sauce - way too sweet. Pavlova for dessert which was perfect- creamy inside and crunchy outside. DH had salad, cioppino, and sabayon. The waiter also brought out some vanilla ice cream and espresso gelato as a treat. 20231205_100410.heic.heif
