Dinner & Shows

One thing Larry and I love about cruises, is that every night is like a date night, with dinner and a live show.

Food has been good on every cruise line we’ve tried, but Costa outshines the rest. They often feature homemade pasta and cheeses, such as mozzarella.

That said, the way Larry’s arancione was plated last night kinda made us laugh because it looked as if it had been dropped with a splat!

As we make our way around the world, the ship takes on local foods, as well. We’ve been enjoying a lot of exotic (to us) tropical fruits along the way.

After our visit to South Africa, the ship added local wines to its larder. Last night, they served us a tasty pinatage, which was a hearty red.

Last night’s dance troupe featured some amazing break dancing. I actually had time to open my purse and fumble with my camera while this guy was on his hands.

On this cruise, every dinner is also a Romanian lesson for me. I’m able to make basic small talk now. Constantin and Maria are such a sweet couple, and our dinners are filled with laughter.

Shipboard sunsets are another treat we enjoy while cruising. Even though it was cloudy last night, Venus and Jupiter still managed to greet us last night as a fuzzy orange sun simmered on the horizon.Read more
