Thanks, Kristin and Jeff. I had a couple of the soups you mentioned last cruise, and they were great. On our cruise, the soup and salad were already together, and maybe they were with appetizer or the pasta. I think it was 3 courses. We ordered 5 courses anyway. I think the sorbet should be automatic, but I will make a point to remember.

Yes, I love my soups. That is one thing I don't like about some of the bbqs (other than general hate for bbq's) and group dinners.

How are the venetian society events? Do they still have them?

Jeff. I will look for your review. I've had a week of holiday company. I'm anxious to look at it.
