WARNING! – Food blog ahead!

Breakfast at 7 AM . Brunch at 10 AM. High Tea at 4 PM and of course dinner at 7 PM. A day at sea can be demanding work. Did I forget to mention I had to attend a workshop with a professional portrait photographer. And on top of that we had both our men’s and women’s study groups. I haven’t even had time for a well deserved nap.

In truth, we are really very busy and we are meeting really fascinating people from everywhere you can imagine. Today however was over the top. Viking put on this poolside brunch to end all brunches. Pictures to follow. Believe it or not, I did not partake except to take pictures. Not one morsel or crumb. The same can not be said for my fellow adventurers who almost confused the food for the pool and dove in. I assumed that with this brunch documented here there would be no lunch. Was I ever wrong! I went into the dining room and had open face sandwiches of mounded King Crab, avocado, tomato bacon and melted cheddar cheese and filet mignon.

This cruise line constantly surprises with over the top performances you do not even expect. We did a galley tour yesterday and it was so impressive. So big, so clean, more than a hundred chefs for 940 passengers and half that number of crew. It was so computerized and state of the art to maximize efficiency, produce consistent quality and minimize waste. Very impressive.
