(Cruise Day #5) Let's Talk about FOOD.

You have never experienced true gluttony until you've gone on a cruise.

All aboard for a spectacular ocean-bound foodies extravaganza! I was not nearly prepared for this onslaught on my taste buds. Good grief, no one mentioned letting my belt notch out one or two or five times during the course of the week either! Apparently eating on a cruise is more of a gastronomic experience rather than a necessity.

Cruise eating is the jewel in the crown of on board enjoyment....with sumptuous, round-the-clock food from all-you-can-eat breakfasts, to 'let's get bloated' lunches, to bejeweled dinners and on to midnight poolside buffets. You can eat 24-7, eating out is possible every hour of every day. Not to mention how incredibly easy they make it for you to always have a drink in your hand! There is the Schooner bar, the pool bar, the Blue moon lounge, the piano bar, the sky bar, Promenade cafe bar and of course room service that offered full bar services. You almost felt out of place without an icey pink hurricane glass with a piece of pineapple and a little umbrella sticking out of it. Alcohol flowed like blood coursing through a body.....

We sailed all day today, which meant sleeping in, eating, lounging around, eating, tanning, napping,trip to Johnny Rockets for milk shakes and fries (I could feel my arteries clogging!) and then off to dinner, because we were getting a little peckish.

My Happy Family!
