Way Too Much To Eat
There was absolutely no time for becoming bored. There was just
too much to do and not enough time to do it all. There was a University
at Sea where one could learn computer software programs or a foreign
language. The salt-water pool is kept at 84 degrees F, the spa at 104;
there was a paddle tennis court, a golf driving range (and lessons),
fitness center, spin bicycles, spa, salon, dry sauna, steam room, Nordic
walking poles for power walking along the Promenade deck (seven times
around is a mile). You will need to do much of this, as you cannot – and
shouldn’t
– resist overeating.
There was simply too much good – I mean
really
good
– food,
and it all came with our ticket to ride. There was no extra charge for
overindulgence, and no tip was required. There was little cause for
resistance, so we submitted.
Two restaurants – Prego and Silk Road, with a sushi bar designed and
operated by Nobu – were always available for reservations. But, as good as
those two restaurants were, the main dining room is where we had some
of our best meals and the most fun, though we ate at Prego and Silk Road
twice each during our 12 days on board.
Our butler was always looking for ways to please, so all we had to do
was let him know we wanted to eat in our room, choose which restaurant
(or restaurants) we wanted to order from, and it would all be there hot
and on time, served by Greg Kiraga (our butler), from Kielce, Poland.
Passengers have until 9:30 pm to order anything from the regular
menu. Afterwards, another smaller menu is available.
For breakfast, we inevitably ended up at the Lido Café and
ordered a custom-made omelet, along with too many croissants,
muffins and other baked goods, fruit of every description, many
different breads toasted or not, jams, jellies, marmalade galore,
