Thanks again for sharing.

We missed a couple of ports but we're looking forward to Scotland tomorrow . We did enjoy a nice dinner at the Crown Grill .

 

 

 

 

 

Do you think that Pat is ready for her lobster cake ?

 

 

The Lobster cake in an unguarded moment

 

 

Pan Seared Scallops

 

 

Heirloom tomato and goat cheese salad

 

 

I wonder how they got this past the ship's security ?

 

 

A Rib eye main

 

 

And a Norman Love connection for dessert

Where did you hear the crown grill does not have desserts? I just went on Princess website and looked at current Crown Grill menu;  desserts are on the menu

This is the crown grill dessert menu on Sky Princess 😢

[AF-1]

I will have the cheesecake thank you.  Also, thank you for posting the new dessert menu.  This menu is for SKY;  are all the ships crown grill going to the new menu; or just SKY?

Cheesecake for me too but hubby will NOT be happy cause he’s a chocoholic chocoholic and doesn’t want orange or ginger or anything to come in contact with his chocolate 😂

I would imagine the new menu will be rolled out to all the ships eventually like they have done with other changes previously UNLESS they gets lots of negative feedback.

[Julia’s Journey’s]

A few minor changes to the menu too.

 

[AF-1]

Thanks for the update.  Have a great day

The port of Invergordon

 

 

Outside looked nice at the port entrance

 

 

Nice light and scenery in the Cromarty Firth

 

 

We slowly passed a number of oil rigs that we here for repair

I'll take two please... There is simply no way to decide between these two choices. Perhaps if I could have one on one night and another on a second night I could do it. Otherwise it might be best to skip other foods and simply order these two as a dinner.

The distant Highlands

 

 

The Port of Invergordon in sight

The dock's gift shop

 

 

Matthew was waiting for us at the street 

 

 

Our first stop was a lookout beside the road where we saw some Scotch Brooms . We saw a lot of these yellow flowers in Chile a few months ago . It is considered to be an invasive species by some .

The land was fairly clear of trees near the road

thanks scubacruiserx2;  Jacket weather for sure.  At least for me.  Since you live in Florida you guys feel that cold temp.

We love to visit cooler places , but not live there . Last year we cruised by Antarctica and the coolest it was 32 F .

[scubacruiserx2]

It was really nice to have few people here

 

 

It's a short walk on a ramp down to the falls

 

 

The overlook

 

 

 

It was sure nice to see trees again since Iceland has so few

 

 

Not as dramatic or as crowded as Iceland's waterfalls , we found this one to be very relaxing

 

 

 

We saw these Foxglove flowers in Chile also . Very pretty to look at but they produce the heart drug Digitalis .
