How can I not write about our first meal on board? It was delicious. We were both exhausted, but some things are so important that they cannot be shirked.
I had a wonderful lobster and scallop pate followed by cream of porcini soup. My main course was a wonderful slab (no, that’s not what they called in on the menu) of prime rib with horseradish and a baked potato. Mike had barramundai picata, which was a type of fish we have never had. It was all very delicious.

We slept the sleep of the dead, but eventually woke up feeling a heck of a lot better. A major project today was locating all the restaurants on board and reading their menus. It looks like we are going to treat ourselves to an upgrade to the Italian restaurant tonight, Sabatinis, so Tami can have the “Lobster Three Ways”, lobster being one of her all time favorite foods. Tami also attended an astronomy lecture, while I played speed soduko. Let’s just say I was not speedy.

We’re savoring every bite with you and getting a real kick out of following your trip. Keep the news coming! P&B
How cool that they have an Astronomy lecture! I see you aren’t completely letting your minds go to waste on this trip.
How would a vegetarian/fishietarian fare aboard a cruise?
They serve a LOT of seafood, and there are vegetarian options at every meal as well. Actual vegetables are more of a challenge – best bet is the buffet.
