Sea Day - December 21

Taking it easy today.  It's been an exhausting 3 days.  RM's ankles swelled badly these past 2 nights.  Hopefully due to the heat.

At 4pm we went to the Port Talk, at 5 pm it was Explorer's Society, at 6 pm was dinner.

We had another interesting experience at the Chef's Table.  The theme was Venice Carnival.  Amuse Bouche was roasted pepper and tomato jelly with goat cheese latte foam. First course was Beef Carpaccio with fig and mustard vinaigrette.  This is very thinly sliced raw beef.  It was melt in your mouth delicious.  Granita was Bellini with peach juice foam.  Very refreshing.  Both the Bellini and Carpaccio were created at Harry's Bar in Venice. The main course was cod fillet with Jerusalem artichoke risotto.  Melt in your mouth delicious!  The cod and the beef came from Iceland.  Dessert was Mascarpone Passion with mascarpone mousse and passion fruit.  Wow!  Our waiter surprised us by upgrading our wines.  He said that he would do that for us again for Bob's birthday.  Mickey has been our waiter and it has been great fun. 

Tonight's entertainment was Impressionist Karen Grainger and guitarist Zach Winningham.
The house was packed!  Standing room only.  All of these entertainers get off the ship tomorrow, and new ones will board.  If this past week is an indication of future entertainment, the world cruisers are in for some truly amazing experiences!
