Today was a scheduled “sea day” as our ship crossed between Iceland and Greenland.
I need to get better at writing during trips, or at least taking notes, so that when it’s weeks later and I’m trying to write about a day I have a clue beyond the photos we took. The only photos we have from this day are from us eating. Which, honestly, isn’t too far from the truth of most of the time spent on board.
Two of the three photos are of us eating at O’Sheehan’s. We probably ate here 8/10 days on this ship. On this day we scored a window booth. It’s the only 24-hour dining venue onboard, and I’ll choose a sit-down restaurant over a buffet any day of the year. It’s not great food but it’s not bad either. Scott would say, “I have no issue.” The venue appeals to us because it’s casual and easy, but it can get repetitive. I would bet my life that Scott started this meal with a cobb salad.
As part of our “Free At Sea” package deal we got one specialty dining restaurant meal on this cruise. On our last cruise in 2021 the promotion came with more meals, and our favorite had been Moderno Churrascaria. So on this ship we decided to repeat the Brazilian steakhouse-themed restaurant. Since this ship was quite a bit smaller, the atmosphere in the bar/restaurant wasn’t quite as nice, but it was fine. The staff were super attentive and friendly and wonderful, and I could’ve eaten my whole meal just from the fantastic “salad” bar that also had sushi and other appetizer-type snacks. There were a lot of meat options that came around to the table (maybe 7 or maybe 9 options?), and then the super yummy pineapple.
The only reason my face looks like this is because I was pointed directly at a dude (maybe he was 16, maybe he was 28?) who was watching videos (or maybe facetiming?) with the volume on during the meal. He also… brace yourself… picked his nose and… seriously, brace yourself… ATE IT during the meal.
Peace out.
