The FB roll call is doing a door decorating contest.  I'm off to take some photos of the participants.

He's probably Diamond.😉

As many of you probably know, at the Platinum/Diamond get together the cruise staff often introduce the youngest Platinum passenger.  On our last cruise (to Alaska) the youngest Platinum passenger was a toddler, just 22 months old.  From the looks of it, she was traveling with an older couple, probably grandparents.  I wondered what the parents were up to having their baby on a cruise ship for a good chunk of her life.

So doing the math, the toddler was 660 days old and had spend 75 days cruising?!? Maybe the older looking couple was actually her parents and they were reeeeeeeaallllly tired.🤣

22 months that's nuts. I would say how lucky, but at that age you have no idea what's going on anyway.

Its feeding time again 😋 

 

[jam19872016]

Empenada.

 

[jam19872016]

Fish and chips and honey pepper beef.

 

 

 

My mom ordered chicken chasseur. 

 

[jam19872016]

Brownie sunday and milhoja.

 

 

[jam19872016]

That was a very nice lunch. 

 

The empanadas had a nice amount of spice to them. Avoid them if you don't like spicy food.

 

The fish were delicious and way better than I expected. The chips were underwhelming though.

 

The honey beef was OK. Needed a little more flavor but not bad and nice quality beef.

 

My mom did not care for her chicken.

 

Brownie was very good.

 

The milhoja was the surprise hit. I only ordered it so my mom could try it and we both ended up enjoying it.

 

Now I'm off to finish photographing door decorations.

 

[jam19872016]

We've made the turn north.

That plating is a little unfortunate though. It looks like someone stepped on the plate in the chocolate.

My mom mentioned the odd presentation on the sauce too. Tasty though.

Had a nice relaxing afternoon in the sauna. Still have half my walking left to do.

 

Checked in for dinner at 605 with a 30-40 wait which is fine because I need to get ready.

 

I had a brief panic as I could not find my pants for elegant night. They should have been in the last load of laundry I sent out but I could not find them.

 

Checked all the clothes I unpacked. Nothing.

 

Pulled out the suitcase out since I didn't unpack everything still could not find them. 

 

My mom went right to them in the stack of clothes from the last laundry bag right where they were supposed to be🙄

Table ready at 654.

 

Back in our waiters section. 

[jam19872016]

Pork tart at 720.

 

[jam19872016]

Pork tarts were delicious as always.

 

Lobster extra broccoli  and striped bass at 730.

Lobster was good. Tiny but nice flavor to it. The risotto could stand as an entrée by itself. 

 

The fish was also good. One of my favorites. Just a little greasy tonight but still great.

 

Dessert is creme Brule. 747.
