I should stick to just reading the menus too! But NOT!

Here's our latest report:

Friday, December 21

It’s another beautiful morning cruising towards Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos.

We expect to arrive at about 1 PM. Tour selection is a bit limited today so I’ll probably just poke around the cruise terminal. We were there last April so I know what to expect, duty free shopping, and a hotel with pool and beach within easy walking distance.

Seabourn is planning one of their “Exclusively Seabourn Experiences” this afternoon. We will enjoy Sunset hors d’oeuvres and cocktails before our 7 PM departure – sunset is at 5:30 so this will make for an early start to our evening but it sounds like fun.

Our sea day yesterday was very laid back. We managed to get to the Sky Bar at around noon and had the delight of meeting Marja (from Cruise Critic Seabourn Board)

Choosing a lunch destination was our biggest chore and the Dining Room won out. We arrived just before the trivia crowd and enjoyed a quiet lunch for two, After some time on the pool deck, a nap took care of the afternoon.

Last night the Captain welcomed all of us – we usually choose to accept those greetings from an alternative venue so we enjoy cocktails at the Club. The duo “Fantasy” provided lovely music for the few couples who were there. We also made a last minute decision to have dinner at “2” (The Legend’s alternative restaurant) A quick call to reception secured a table and we enjoyed a lovely French Bistro Dinner instead of the mad crush that always occurs after the Captain’s party. Ryan is still working there and took great care of the lucky few who chose to dine there. Tom and I both had the escargot. I had a fabulous lobster bisque and Sea Bass Nicoise Style entrée. Tom enjoyed the Grilled Lamb – generous enough to share a taste with me.

We each selected a different dessert in order to taste both. Warm Chocolate Ganache Cake with Brandy Ice Cream for Tom, Roasted Peaches with Frozen Yogurt for me…roll us down the gangway because we are not losing any weight this week! LOL

True to form, Tom wanted to call it an early evening – I was going to pop out to the show but somehow the comfort of our suite always wins out. I brought along some new DVD’s so we watched 30 Rock – OK, I know, why watch TV shows on a cruise ship? We missed the entire first season so we are catching up. What better to place to be a couch potato than here?????
