Monday, July 1, At Sea

We are sailing to Estonia on Canada Day. We ate early because of the time change. So we had an even longer day at sea than expected.

After breakfast in our room, we went to see Ian talk about port highlights and shore excursions. It was very informative and better than we expected, since the last time we went to one it was all about shopping. This one actually was helpful.

We finally went to our lifeboat safety at the risk of disembarkation. It was really short.

We went to the cooking show with Chef Thomas and Samantha. Samantha is recently arrived to the ship and is just really a host. Chef Thomas is from Toronto and was very good. He prepared Salmon Coulibiac, which is salmon, layered with rice, onions, and mushrooms covered in puff pastry and topped with a buerre blanc sauce...they had samples. It was good.

We then had lunch on the Lido deck.

After lunch, we went to another cooking show with Chef Thomas. He was demonstrating dishes from Le Cirque in New York. He made a lobster salad and creme brulee. They said the lobster salad would cost $69.00 at Le Cirque. It looked good, but was basically a cobb salad with lobster.

We went shopping, since Lois' suitcase hadn't arrived.

For some reason we didn't make reservations at the Rembrandt Dining Room, so we ate at the Lido again.

We did go to the stage show, called, "In Concert." The entertainment is not as good as the food.
