This morning I woke up and grabbed a cinnamon roll for breakfast.
I had to participate in some mandatory training for Celebrity Cruises in the morning, which was supposed to include a tour of the galley and the bridge, but they were postponed. I can understand the bridge tour being postponed because the weather wasn’t spectacular and there are Russian ships running dark.
I had lunch at the Cosmopolitan main dining room. I tried the mozzarella sticks, crisp BBQ pork knuckle and fontina cheese panini and the peach raspberry cobbler. I was let down by the entire trio. The mozzarella sticks just didn’t have the right consistency or flavor. The panini had too much bread (I literally scraped off the pork from one side and made a sandwich half the size with the thinner part of the panini) and the cobbler, well I wouldn’t have called it a cobbler. The cobbler was mostly peaches and no crumbles.
I went to an activity in the Club which sounded interesting, but was just plain boring. It was some kind of murder mystery theater, but I didn’t stay for the entire thing.
I walked through the buffet and found churros – which reminded me of where I was last week, Madrid.
I went to the main theater and watched an Elton John tribute performance. The performers were from the UK. The theater was an interesting, very round shape with a big screen in the back.
I went to the Cyprus main dining room tonight. I got my favorite starters once again – French Onion soup and escargot.
I also tried the rack of lamb for my main. It was okay, but too lean.
For dessert I had the warm apple crumble a la mode and the phyllo dough tulip.
The apple crumble was alright, but I was a bit disappointed in the phyllo dough tulip, it was just dry.
Tonight at the Club the had one of the most fun activities – the silent disco party. They had 3 DJ’s playing music and everyone got a set of headphones where they could switch between the music themselves. They also had a LED light which would identify which DJ you were listening to, so if you saw someone else singing along to a song you knew which one to switch to. The party really gets a lot of people on the dance floor and you almost always find a song you like to listen or dance to.
I wandered back up to the buffet to get a late night snack (pizza) and the pool area was very nicely lit up. The blue rectangles remind me of torii gates in Japan (although those are red).
