Informal Night

After all that walking around in Key West, we were ready for some serious relaxing.  We hung out on the deck for a while, then headed up to the Aquaspa for a couple's massage.  Neither of us had had a massage before, so it was a fun thing to try, and a good way to recover from all the excitement of a port day.

This evening was the formal night on the ship - but we weren't up for suiting up - so we had Effren bring our meal to the room.  He brought us the full menu from the restaurant and we left him a note with our choices before we headed out for the massage.

We had the champagne that came with our room chilled for the occassion, and I started with the pomegranate scented fruit salad.

 

Ron went with the smoked salmon appy.

I was aiming for the lightest possible meal that day (I was still getting used to the life of cruise excess), so I went with the chilled tangerine and apple soup. 

Ron had the chef's suggestion lamb, and I went with chilean sea bass.

 

 

For dessert, I tried the no-sugar added option - phyllo, lemon cream and berries.  The food on the ship had quite a bit of 70s flair, so Ron got to try Cherries Jubilee, a little melty from the room-service approach, but still tasty I hear. 

A lovely way to get to enjoy even more time in our sweet suite.
