To say cruising is about, in large part, the dining would be a really big understatement. It’s actually quite the focal point(sadly for the waistline I fear.) It’s more than just food; it is an experience. For today, I’ll just be sharing a few notes and some yummy pictures of some of the high points.
Food is EVERYWHERE. If one desires, they can literally eat 24 hours a day. Want fast food? Got it. Want a lazy brunch? Got it. Want a quick buffet? Got it. Want something a little more formal, that is almost an event in itself? Got that too!
Our first stop on board was Guy’s Burger Joint, as it is open for those coming on board already hungry. That would be Guy Fieri of Food Network fame. He isn’t actually there of course, but who needs him if we have his burgers and hand cut fries?
For those who want breakfast, but don’t want to roll out at breakfast time, there is a really nice sit-down brunch. Cool pretty fruit faces too!
Pasta Bella is a really great pasta bar, and a regular stop for us. You fill out a check sheet with your pasta, meat, sauce and vegetable preference, drop it off and like magic your own creations shows up in about 5 minutes.
Evening dining is a bit more formal, being a full-service event with multiple courses. They have a standard menu and special items for each evening. Like more than one thing? No problem, just order it and you can have it. I took full advantage of that on lobster night, and had my fill of steak and lobster!
Some main events
And of course desert!

You’ve about got me sold. I always said, I can’t drink that much water, if you get my drift. Hubby being military has had to do those 6 to 9 month “floats”, so he has always said a firm “no”

Ahhhh..yeah, I can see why a Navy or Coast Guard person might not be interested LOL. I cant say that I blame him a bit. On the other hand, it’s really NOT the same!

I am afraid my meals would not stay down while cruising on a LARGE body of water out in the middle of no where…

Thanks for the photos, Wally, but you didn’t catch me off-guard this time. We went over to our son’s house last night and I pigged out so food is not a temptation this A.M. with my unsettled stomach.
