We are at sea today sailing toward Germany. It is sunny and 72 degrees, but feels pretty chilly. We slept in and made our way to cooking demonstration. Today, Chef Thomas demonstrated Kaiserschmarrn. This is German crepe/pancake with fruit on it. We had a sample and liked it very much.
Our next event was a tour of the kitchen. It is just amazing to see such a small space they have to prepare meals for 2,100 guests and almost 850 crew members. The galley consists of 150 persons and 223 service staff. Each station in the kitchen is very small, but very well organized. The food on the ship is excellent!
We rushed up to the "side walk" sale before heading to the main dining room for the special champagne brunch with the Captain. The brunch is held for all passengers in the Mariner Society, that's us! We were greeted by a hearty good morning from the dining staff. The brunch was delicious. Lois had Scandinavian Style White Vegetable Soup and I had Graved Salmon with Shrimp Stuffed Egg. We both had Risotto with Forrest Mushrooms and Fontina, followed by Swedish Pancakes with Fresh Berries.
We spent the afternoon lounging around the room watching the sea and the boats go by. Lois made another shopping trip as this a big sale day on the ship. She came back with Baltic Amber jewelry. We took a walk around the ship and stopped to see the future cruise planner. We don't know where we are going, but know we want to continue to cruise before we have to use our canes! Tonight was a formal evening in the dining room and we not feeling in the dress up mood. We ate on the Lido deck and opted out of the show on the Mainstage called Nightlife, mainly because the last show was so awful.
