Cruise Food: Day 1 & 2...

Ok, so we finally made it to the ship on Saturday...and here was my "Welcome to the ship" to myself;) A "coconut slice" and one of Royal Caribbean's AMAZING Oatmeal Raisin cookies! I have no clue what they do, but they make some AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE cookies...and Oatmeal Raisin is one of the BESTEST! (We'll get to THE bestest later...;)

Dinner the first night was delicious (well, could you really complain about any nights??) We both started with a Vidalia onion tart with gruyere cheese and red peppers....

And for my main course, I had salmon with braised lentils and fried onions. This was from the "healthy" menu, so I'm not sure how those onions made the "cut"...but they were good none the less;) The salmon was DELICIOUS!

And here was Scott's dinner: Pork medallions with mashed potatoes...

My dessert: Strawberry Pavlova....it was like a meringue with whipped cream...

Scott's dessert: Chocolate mousse with a side of Coffee Ice Cream....from then on, our waiter brought us ice cream with every dessert...and OH was it good! :)

Here was what I TRIED to keep my breakfast to everyday. The operative word here is TRIED:) Lets not pretend that the cinnamon rolls, hash browns and occasional strips of bacon didn't find their way to my plate...but I tried my best;)

And since I was "SO GOOD" at breakfast...what better way to reward myself (at like, 10 in the morning;) then with a cup of coconut ice cream on the beach in Tortola;) I knew as soon as I took this picture that one day it would make me wish SO bad that I was back there....hahahahahhaa....THAT didn't take long;)

Here was lunch from that day. It was day one, so notice how my plate is mostly salad;) By day 4 was when I began to realize that the burgers were soooooooooooo good and that the taco 'bar' was not too shabby either...but again, I tried;) (however, their couscous salad: To die for!)

That was Mediterranean beef on the bottom there...in case you were going to keep yourself awake tonight wondering;)

After lunch, me & Scott headed back out...and of course we had to hit up the local spice shop:)

We picked up these 2 little yummy smelling containers....we'll have to get creative;)

Dinner, night 2 was our first "Formal Night" :) I started with the pear soup with cranberries. Which I thought was a good choice cause, hey, when do you ever get pear soup???? This was a good idea until I tried....

...Scott's Lobster Bisque. LB is always heavenly, and this was true to form;)

For dinner...I went with the sea bass with Spanish sofrito and black olive polenta...delicious!

And Scott's "Chef Steak" with mashed potatoes and asparagus...

And for dessert...as if I'd pick ANYTHING else on the menu: The Vanilla coconut layer cake (with vanilla ice cream;) ...ps-my stomach JUST growled... ;)

Hope you enjoyed Day 1 & 2! :)
