Sea Day

We really like the walking track on board - 4 times around equals a km, two lanes for easy passing and a cool breeze at sea.

The walking track overlooks one of the pools and the private cabana's you can rent at very high prices - VIP $350 US 9am-6pm; Standard $200 9am-6pm - all sold out today!

The Galley - aka Food Court was where we had breakfast and lunch today - tables service is limited to the restaurants where you need a reservation. Last night we ate in The Wake Stakehouse. Didn't get any pictures, not great. Adrian and I both had steak and it was very chewy.

Tonight we snagged the last reservation for the Test Kitchen. By far our best meal of the trip. They have 3 menus which rotate and we got Menu B. 

We didn't do the wine pairing

First appetizer - corn/truffle turned out to be a corn and cream based mousse in the shape of a corn cob, served with actual corn and bread.

Second appetizer I had the tofu and aAdrian had the salmon, both served under glass with smoke.

Third appetizer was shrimp and garlic. The pasta is actually shrimp and cod with egg white and cream. shaped like pasta and steamed, with shrimp, soft garlic and a lobster and shrimp jus sauce.

Main course - lamb chop - cooked sous vide (Sous vide is a culinary technique where food is sealed in an airtight pouch and cooked in a precisely controlled, low-temperature water bath to achieve absolute edge-to-edge consistency and moisture retention) served with eggplant, zuchinni and red pepper and a sauce.

Adrian had the strawberry pistachio dessert. jellied round of strawberry puree on the bottom with fresh berries, pistachio and cream.

I had the mango chia dessert which was included mango mousse, passion fruit mousse, some granola type grain and a chia seed type brittle and some fresh mango to finish it off.

We had some fun taking pictures of us mirrored in the stainless steel column across from the counter where we were seated.
