Days 3 and 4 At Sea

Day 3

Last night we dined at the Samba speciality restaurant. The delicious food is served Brazilian-style.

Using a colour selection panel, the table signals to the waiter(gaucho) who keeps the food flowing. All meats (chicken, lamb, and beef) are presented to the table on swords from which they are removed to the diner's plate. If you are travelling on RCL and a Samba restaurant is available TRY IT! It is a unique and fun dining experience.

Day 4

Spent the day by the pool and in the solarium. Had lunch on the aft deck watching the world go by. Sun came out and winds died down. Great sailing day! Tonight a reception by the Captain.

Hawaii ahoy!

Day 1

We board ship midday and spend the first few hours getting a feel for the ship. We meet Bart and Ronette at the pool deck wiling away the hours in the sunlight.

The ship's departure is delayed by two hours but by six p.m. we were on our way to Hawaii.

Day 2

Did fitness in the morning. Met Bart and Ronette for lunch. Tonight is the first formal night and we are celebrating Bart's birthday at the Samba Brazilian specialty restaurant.
