Food from the cruise

I was a lucky girl this spring. I was able to go on a 7-day Carnival cruise though the Western Caribbean for spring break with some friends. One of the things I was most looking forward to was all of the food that was going to be available. From breakfast in bed, lunch on the lido deck during the day, sit-down dinner at every night and maybe even a late night snack, I couldn't wait.

The cruise food definitely did not disappoint! My favorite part was our 8:15 dinner in the Washington Dining Room, table 326. The table was me, Brett, Schilero, Jackie, Amanda, and two German friends, Steffan and Benjamin. Our waiter was Nils from Guatemala and our assistant waiter was Marcel. Both were amazing! Brett, Schilero and I usually ordered way more than we needed, and Nils loved us for it. Nils made fun of me when I ordered off of the healthy menu.

Check out some of the food highlights!

Best Appetizer:

a study of sushi

(tuna, salmon and shrimp)

Best Dinner:

shrimp & lobster with mashed potatoes and broccoli

Best Dessert:

Bread Pudding!!!!

(When it was brought out, Nils took my spoon & jabbed a hole in the middle. He then filled it with milk, making it extra creamy and delicious!)

Our Before-Dinner Ritual Snack:

assorted veggie platter with ranch dressing

(often ordered with a side of pretzals)

Midnight Buffet:

assorted desserts

Favorite Food Sculpture:

chicken spotted on the Galley Tour

and finally- it wouldn't have been a cruise without some tropical drinks!

Best Drink:

the signature Carnival cocktail- a yummy mix of vodka, 151, rum and assorted fruit juices

I've had to work out extra to make up for all the eating I did, but I still can't wait for my next cruise!
