Cruise continues




After our tourist duties in Acapulco were done, it was time for dinner. Meals and wait service on board cruise ships are generally very good. Ours was hit and miss. Our waiter seemed to be technically competent but not on the overly friendly side. His assistant was another story. She was probably brand new and still learning 'the ropes', but she definitely needed some extra training. We managed to get through our dinner meals without too much ado...at least until the last evening. One of our members had a bit too much to drink and decided that she had had enough of our Asst. waiter. She was so rude and made such an unnecessary spectacle of herself that I ended up getting up from the table and leaving before dinner was over.

We did have one absolutely fantastic dinner. Usually cruise ships will have a special 'premium' supper club on each ship where you have to pay a bit extra for the meal. John & Lynn 'took us out' for this evening of culinary delights. That sounds corny but it was probably the best meal that I have ever had...seven or eight courses of outstanding food. There were not very big portions but I definitely walked away satisfied...not stuffed!

Attached are a couple of pictures of our dining group and a picture of a towel animal that the cruise lines are well known for.

Glad our cruise turned out better than yours, although we did have a few complaints to voice. Will be updating our blog shortly.
