2019 World Cruise - Day 28
Wednesday 01.30.19 - Sea Day
Breakfast Buffet: we both had cereal, bananas & pastries
Back to the room to research what to do in Dunedin, NZ
Mexican Buffet Lunch:
We both had, chicken Enchiladas, beef fajitas, grilled shrimp, ham & cheese empanada, braised beef ribs, guacamole, refried beans and some very mild salsa. Although the photo doesn't do it much justice, I was pleasantly surprised at how good everything was today.
1pm Crossing the Equator Ceremony
Come watch the action as the Pollywogs who have never crossed the Equator become Shellbacks with King Neptune and his Royal Court. More photos here.
2pm Shelly went to her Ukulele Class with Tui & Maile, while I returned to the room to work on my blog covering day 14 of our 2018 road trip.
3-5pm Shelly got a free sample massage and facial. They offered a special rate on a massage for today so she relaxed for 90 minutes with a hot stone massage.
7pm MDR Formal Dinner #5:
Our whole table decided not to participate in formal night. Instead Shelly & I ate at the bistro. (Menu C) Instead of a buffet, they have a casual dining option set up in that area, that is only available on certain sea days.
We shared a Cherry "T" Focaccia Bread, while this tasted it great, it was more like a pizza dough
We both started with a cup of soup & an order of jalapeno poppers.
Tomato Soup - creamy heavy on tomato flavors, would have been good with a touch of olive oil or crème fraîche.
Jalapeno Poppers - Just like home. These reminded me of the ones you get at Sonic even with the jalapeno that comes out of the breading.
My entree: Lasagna - rather a small portion but it was tasty & surprisingly filling.
Her entree: New York Strip - large steak cooked to order - good and definitely fills the steak craving I had.
My dessert: Torta Di Mele - apple torte served cold. It tasted good, but I wish it was served warm.
Her dessert: Tiramisu - traditional style good coffee notes and light soft cake.
