Cruising Food

May 28th, 2009

Some of you might disdain a cruise, but we had some wonderful meals on our latest vacation. We began in Vancouver, spent a night in Whistler (where I had a delicious Steak & Guiness pie at an Irish pub), then moved onto Victoria. I had amazing halibut fish & chips, including sweet potato fries in Victoria. Then we started our cruise of the Inside Passage of Alaska. It was the trip of a lifetime, and I heartly suggest that you go to Alaska at least once in your life.

Today, I’m just going to share some of our meals. It was truly a culinary experience. We traveled on the Carnival Spirit.

Tomato & Fresh Mozzarella Appetizer in Dining Room

One Empire Dining Room dessert, which I could remember what it was!

We also took the opportunity, on the last night of our cruise to eat in the Supper Club. It was an additional cost of $30 per person, but it was more than worth it. A masterpiece of a meal.

A Mushroom Cappucino as a "pre-starter"

Duck Confit also as a prestarter

My Crab Cake appetizer

Dad's French Onion Soup appetizer

My Lamb Chop Entree

Chocolate Tarte with Bitter Chocolate Pate, Pineapple Croquant and Tirimasu Notre Facon

I thought I’d be getting one chocolate tarte, but instead I ended up with 4 different desserts. Just amazing. I’ll be posting more pics as I sort through J’s pictures, but this was a cruise a foodie would love.
