Funchal, Portugal was our very last port of call
as we were sailing away to Atlantic sea.
We have 7 days at sea before the ship
returns to Fort Lauderdale where she started
about 4 months ago.
Passengers already start talking about
packing and organising farewell get together
lunches and dinners and so on...
After few months of being spoilt
by not doing any domestic works,
no one really wants to get off the ship
and go home where reality resides.
One week at sea also can be boring
even if there are numerous daily activities are on.
In the meantime, there has been
a couple of special events nicely done
so that passengers can remember for long.
One of them was lavish
Grand Buffet lunch.
Fruits
Bread and pretzel
Asparagus wrapped in roasted beef
Flowers made of beet roots and carrots
A bird cage made out of a pumpkin
Ice carving art work and a tower of king shrimps
Leaning tower of Pisa is a dessert today.
Chef George has been very popular among passengers
as he always put big smile on his face.
Caviar is very generous today, too.
A turkey made out of vegetables
Chocolate fountain with fruit kebabs
Assorted cakes and sweets
Another fountain with white chocolate
Lobster tails galore!
Lamb cutlets
Our dear old friend Tina is manager of
Pinnacle Grill restaurant on board.
I am sure that no one leaves hungry
after this big lunch.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The other one was our last Gala night
under the theme of Mask.
Having a great time
Holland America dancers and singers are
also joining the big party
One last party we will never forget
and friendships
that can last life time.
There are so many cruise liners offer
great services and excellent products
but
the one that makes it really different
has be
'people'.
Fellow passengers and crew
who became close friends over the years
of cruising together...
It is sad time to depart now but
we will meet again soon
on a next cruise!
