Dinner on the Cruise

Here we are at our table in the back, table 68 that we shared with Lee and Susan from Michigan.

Dinners on the cruise were overwhelmingly wonderful. I have been on a diet since mid-November and it was completely abandoned after one afternoon and as I sat to the music of the chef and magicians that served at our table. Desmond was our head waiter and had 'suggestions' from the menu for every meal. Every night there was 2 menus, one for salad, soup and entree, and one for desserts.

We had the 8:30 pm late seating for dinner. If you chose not to wait until your dinner, you could go to the dinner buffet and THEN go to the late dinner seating. On two of the nights the wait staff entertained us with music and dancing. They balanced cakes on their heads using rolled up napkins and lighted candles. Here's a video part of one of the presentations.


The song has a chorus 'Cent, 5 cent, 10 cent, Dollar' and you'll see them do hand motions to the chorus line. You'll also see a lighted jacket and one of the waiters in a King's crown.
