I tried some of the roast turkey from the buffet it was pretty good. The fresh vegetables are cooked well. I could not finish this plate of food. The 2 deserts from luminae were both very good. A Passion fruit soufflé and a milk chocolate brownie. I was surprised that the soufflé is actually a soufflé.

Yay, you are CORRECT!! Thank you. I just spoke with the Retreat Host and he confirmed that I do have premium. He said I upgraded it before the cruise began( I did, because I had 1k of non refundable OBC). They are refunding it back to our account. Funny how no one tells you that upfront. They just allow you to book it again.

We spent the majority of the day at the pool. I won a few prize tickets in "guess the name of the song and artist". After lunch at OV, we got off and walked into the port to pick up a few gifts for people at home. The prices are higher than in Corfu, so if you want to Greek Olive Oil, I'd pick it up in Corfu. We were just delivered a cheese plate with Carr's entertaining cracker assortment.( will post pic later). One thing I've noticed at OV, they have changed the tuna from Albacore to chunk light( what I call "cat food tuna". I'm sad about that because I always enjoyed a scoop of tuna salad on my garden salad at lunch. I can't eat that chunk light tuna. This is where my food pickiness shows.

Breakfast in Luminae. I came out to the waiter and told him about my weight loss surgery(9yrs ago) and that I only want half portions of everything I order. He took it quite literally and gave me one asparagus instead of 2 and 1 potato instead of 2. Lol I had the egg white wrap no tomato and 1 crepe. Julie had the waffle. I went to Al Bacio and got a sugar free frappe. Julie ordered a caramel croissant. It was good.

Dinner last night. I have this shrimp cocktail on the main dining room menu. I found the shrimp to be very small.. For main dish I had the herb roasted chicken. Julie had the filet. Dessert was a hazelnut something or other. Julie ordered the chocolate Napoleon I told her she would like that but it's not what I know as an Napoleon and we both didn't care for it. We stopped at Al bacio and look at the desserts there. Dry cake doesn't sound appealing.
