Cruising with the Grobmyers

We have just returned from our second Disney cruise.  We are wondering why we have not discovered cruising before now.  We had a great time touring the Eastern Caribbean. We had perfect weather, great food, lovely scenery, and met some wonderful people.  And there were a few Disney characters thrown in too.  This was the second year of the Star Wars Day at Sea cruises. There were lots of Star Wars activities for us to participate in too.  There was even a special menu that night.  But now on to the food.

This is a picture of our wonderful, attentive servers and our tablemates for the week. We had such a nice time getting to know all these fascinating people.  We look forward to our paths crossing again some day.

 This was a really good salad from the first night.  The pecans had a sugar glaze on them.  Very nice.

 Potato soup

 A beef dish

 Some kind of fish.

 A nice little sampler plater of desserts

 A chocolate tort cake.

 For lunch every day they had a chilled soup.  I enjoyed trying the different ones.  This was the chilled mango soup.
