PRIVATE TOUR OF THE GALLEY

Today was a sea day and we were invited to a private tour of the galley. As usual, Sam became friends with the dining room wait staff and a couple of days ago, the Head Waiter came and asked him if he would like to have a private tour of the galley. Of course, he said that he would. So we met Robert at 10:30 this morning for a tour of the galley.

It was extremely interesting. He took us through the entire kitchen area and we saw one of the dessert people preparing plates for lunch. He explained how they did several different things – i.e. there is a separate grill for steaks and one for fish – they never mix the two. They never mix storing food together. All of it was fascinating.

Some friends did the Chef’s table dinner and now I would like to try it because they I could see the kitchen during the dinner hour. Maybe on our next cruise.

Then we ran into some friends we met on this cruise and chatted for two hours . We ran into some other people we met and agreed to meet them at 4 pm. So the day flew by for us.

Tomorrow night is the last formal night. There were five formal nights on this cruise – we’ve done two and blown two off so tomorrow night we’ll probably get dressed up. We have decided no formal nights would be just fine with us.

We are now three days out of LA – I can’t believe how fast this trip has gone. It seems liked we planned forever and it is almost over. But it is ok I am already planning our next trip.
Good night to all – we’ll be seeing most of you soon.
