Next Cruise: Spoil Yourself . . .

I know I scared a few folks during my last blog, by showing you a MRE....

I thought I'd share with you a Better memory!

On our last Celebrity Cruise, we opted to dine in the Speciality Resturant on our "At Sea" day..

Alot of other cruisers we speak to, refuse to pay the extra surcharge to dine in this resturant, They say

"We've already paid to eat, why should we pay extra?"

WHY?

I'll tell ya why... First off the food is far superior..

Secondly the service makes you feel like royalty..

Let's begin with the Salad, Doesn't this just look like a piece of art work? It really was a shame to eat it & Yes, it was as good as it looks! Below is TheBetterHalf salad, I think mine looks best:

Our salads were followed by my Goat Cheese Souffle,
Very decadent...Indeed..

Prior to your main course arriving, you will be offered an "Intermezzo" or a "Trou Normand" Fancy words meaning, to cleanse your palate prior to the GoodStuff arriving!!!

On tonights Menu, Surf & Turf:


Your dinner will be prepared table-side for your viewing pleasure. I cannot complain about cruise food, I've never lost any weight cruising, but this meal kicks it up to an even higher level, Especially if you want to spoil yourself's for one evening, your Birthday, an Anniversary or Just Cuz!


This evening wouldn't be complete without dessert now would it? However, we didn't order any, yet the staff refused to let us go, without something sweet!!! (Like we needed MORE food) =)

TheBetterHalf & I can both highly recommend the splurge, This sure bets an MRE!


Thanks Celebrity Cruise Lines.. It's always a pleasure!!!!


We can't wait for our next Cruise!

What time is it, anyway???

For the past 12 days if someone had asked me “What day it is?”
I would not have been able to answer them… Yet, we’ve never missed a shore excursion, or a port.. We don’t have a clock in our room & yet we have never missed a meal.

Somehow you always know where to be & when it is feeding time…

For those of you who don’t cruise because you say to yourself, What is there to do on a ship anyway? I’ll be bored… This is a snip it of what we did today….

Woke up to room service, morning brainteaser, have some coffee, Opal & Fresh water pearl sale, Time for a cookie, Line dancing class, time for the buffet, Poolside we order a nice beverage, Hmm, time to make a decision? Movie? Poker? Gym? Art Auction? Ice Carving Demo? Eat?
I decide to go to Name that tune…. TBH is listening to a lecture, Sometimes you just have to split

up…to take in all the goodies…

Tour of the navigational bridge, Can I drive the ship? I thought the steering wheel would of been bigger....

At 2:30 we have to meet up for “Battle of the sexes” the Final Round ( I don’t want to talk about the score) Bingo? Acupuncture seminar? Time to rush to our room so we don’t miss John our Butler and our Hor’dorves & Sweets. . back out for the steam room/spa.. Wanna do a movie? NO, we don’t have time, we have to get ready for dinner,,

Where did our time go????

Come on honey, It’s time for dinner….Don’t forget the chocolate extravaganza tonight…
Baked Alaska ,, Yummmy!!!

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow

That is the song that was playing this morning during breakfast....Yes, it is December 14th, & I have to keep reminding myself it is another day closer to Christmas & Milford Sound, New Zealand.. Most passengers, will have another day at sea. We are taking a shore excursion that will drop us off at Milford Sound, and drive us thru Queenstown, Arrowtown, Clyde, Alexandra, Dunedin & we will end up at Port Chalmers to meet up with the ship a day later.

We had a blast in Melbourne, Australia & Hobart, Tasmania...
I have attached a few pictures of our time there....
It was fantastic to get this close to these wonderful animals,,,
My favorite was the Koala bear..
TBH's favorite was the Tasmanian Devil..
We both loved the Kangaroo's...
Even though they were on the menu for dinner that night....

We even got to hit a few Winery's... Way to many things to do here..

The view you see is what we have been looking at for the past 2 days,,,No Sun to speak of & it is down right chilly,, I hope New Zealand is warmer...

I'm going to enjoy some goodies I picked up in Tassie...

At 4pm our Butler John, will bring us more goodies during High Tea...

This is TBH's "Happy Hour"

Until Later ...Mates!!!!
