Cruise: The Food

 We had a great Smooth Jazz Cruise and will post more on that later.

The view from the top deck of Celebrity Summit which departed

from the port in Ft. Lauderdale.

Four ships headed out to sea with us on Saturday.  

Three followed our route and while it was beautiful to see the

ships lights at night it was also a comfort should an

emergency happen [think Titanic].

 Food ... plain, simple and plenty of it!

 We've been on this ship before [to Alaska] and have to

say the food was a step or two above this in the past.  Some felt 

the reason [the food was just okay] was because this was a charter 

cruise but none the less no one went hungry.  I personally 

didn't have a problem with anything I ate [or ordered in the 

Tuscan Grille which was an up charge of $45 per person].  

Wilson on the other hand did.  I hope the cruise company sends us

 a post- cruise survey to all on board.

 The pizza was pretty good and I made it a point to stop and

grab and slice or two each day.

 Pizza Station:   Dough waiting to be made into pizza.

 Free Beverages: Coffee, tea, lemonade, fruit juice and ice tea

Charged Beverages:  Soda, bottled water, orange juice

beer, wine and mixed drinks

Daily selections in the Oceanview Cafe

Salads with various fixings.

 The pizza station was very popular during the week.

There also was a pasta station, outside grill with hot dogs

and hamburgers, ice cream station and the Spa cafe

to name just a few.

 Not for the faint of heart - port holes placed in the floor in

one of the dining areas.  Yes, that is a chair leg.

 Looking for a healthy choice - the Spa Cafe was the 

place for that.

 BBQ under the stars in the process of being

set-up pool side.  We didn't attend because I made

reservations for our dinner at the Tuscan Grill and

Steakhouse.  While I had a pretty perfect meal

Wilson's meal was not great.  I doubt if we would

go back but we have a year to make that

decision.  Yes, I did re-book us for 2019.
