Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 29, 2015 Author #851 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I got a new point and shoot to take along too and I think it even has a food setting. LOL. I'll give it a try. We found the smaller camera much easier to carry and use when dining , and less obtrusive to our fellow dinners . How about a trial run at home ? :) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 29, 2015 Author #853 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I don't think my camera has a food setting but I will check.:D The tulip or running man setting should work . Or on the SCN there may be a specific food setting . ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangocherie Posted July 29, 2015 #861 Share Posted July 29, 2015 But that's how an omelette should be cooked. It looked quite excellent. And how I would expect in France! Cooked through ends up like shoe leather? La Mere Poulard has been famous for years, I can remember back in the 1980s....... Froxfield, Thank you for pointing this out. You are so right. An omelette has to be "baveux"!:rolleyes::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare perfect match Posted July 30, 2015 #863 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I really enjoyed the pictures of Mont Saint Michel, as they brought back:some long forgotten memories. I was there a very long time ago, when I was 14. I think perhaps I'd appreciate it a lot more than I did all those years ago. The route you took going back to the ship was like an extra bonus tour. Your tour guide did a great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he did and WHEN we do this port I will be emailing and asking for his name.....I would do the exact tour you did.....what a wonderful day it must have been..... I am not sorry we went to Normandy, as that was a special day for us...but this would have been equally as good.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sorry we went to Normandy, as that was a special day for us...but this would have been equally as good.... We enjoyed all of our small group tours , Azores , Lisbon , MSM and London . The guides all did a great job and the blend of city and country really worked well . We had really wanted to walk out on the mudflats at MSM , but leaving early turned out to be the best thing , because of our guide's knowledge and ability to adapt the tour on the go . If we ever return , we will probably go to the Normandy beaches . :) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat went to London in her senior year of high school , but I didn't get to go until I was a senior citizen ! But , as you said , we did appreciate it more as a mature adults . :) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynne95 Posted July 30, 2015 #867 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I am transfixed by your photos, they just get better and better. I can hardly wait for the next morning to see your next installment. Awesome Job!!:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 30, 2015 Author #868 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Froxfield, Thank you for pointing this out. You are so right. An omelette has to be "baveux"!:rolleyes::D Sorry Froxfield and Tangocherie, but this palate did not appreciate the "baveux" style. It maybe a "must see" and classic french cuisine, but I agree with Mic and prefer it a little more cooked. The atmosphere and service was good. Had I read TripAdvisor, I would not have ordered the omelette or maybe chosen a different restaurant. (500 out of 1500 actually rated it as horrible and it is rated overall #19 on the list) I would not say it was horrible, but 2 1/2 or 3 Star. It was also $$$$ - which we knew walking in the door. We did not check ratings because we were not sure where we were going to stop, so we left it up to the guide and we appreciate his recommendation. We had seen this on a travel show and considered it a "Dining Experience" - and it was. Just not crazy about the omelette . :) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm uploading and editing some photos now , and we're trying to think of a good finish for our cruise segment . The Deauville photos are going to be hard to top because it was so pretty , but we've got photos that I haven't seen yet because I tend to edit when we are writing ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 30, 2015 Author #875 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Returning to the ship after our longest day tour we finished our packing and headed down to the MDR to say our goodbyes . Our table mates were not there , so we ordered our last supper on the Eclipse . We had a table for two which placed us next to the window , but with 6 " between tables , we felt like we had table mates . I'm think that this was our dinner that evening , but I'm not sure . But I'm pretty sure that I haven't posted these pictures yet , and if I did - please enjoy your reruns . We loved that Escargot and French Onion Soup was available every night in the MDR . Greek salad Veal shank We really hated to say goodbye to our servers , because the greeted us with a big smile and had great service . But it was time to go . :( Down by the fountain at the pool , you can see and hear how windy it was while still in port . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
