Living the Dream in Retirement
For a foodie, cruise food is always a treat and this trip was no exception. From hearty breakfasts to salads, appetizers and dinners, the offerings were beautifully plated and delicious while the desserts were decadent and (almost) too pretty to eat.
It’s difficult to choose the “best of the best” photos from my cruise but I did it! The sea is ever-changing from daybreak to sunset, at sea and in ports. It’s magical.
Back from my latest cruise, this time New England (Newport, Boston, Bar Harbor) to Halifax. Sailing on the Enchanted Princess was special, it was the ship I took my first-ever cruise on earlier this year.
Stay tuned for more on this trip…..
I loved the evenings on my cruise – sunsets and after dark.
The nighttime photos were taken as we departed St Thomas and I captured its shimmering lights reflecting into the harbor. Magical!
Most mornings I woke up just before dawn, made my tea and took a seat on my balcony, waiting to capture sunrises. It was so serene, what a way to start the day!
As you can see from the following photos the Enchanted Princess does dinners that are delectable from starters and salads to entrees.
So many delicious breakfasts on my cruise, here’s a few of my favorites!
For many years, I’ve heard about food on cruises.
While I expected there to be delicious choices, the Enchanted Princess pastry chefs exceeded my expectations.
I don’t remember the names of all these, I do remember the deliciousness and artistic plating.
I’ve recently returned from my first cruise.
I loved it!
We set sail at the end of March for a 10 day Caribbean voyage out of the Ft Lauderdale port. My traveling shipmates were my sister and brother-in-law who have cruised extensively and were my mentors from booking last fall through our final disembarkation. Their knowledge and experience made my cruise so much more enjoyable.
The Enchanted Princess is a gorgeous ship. Not long after boarding, our bags arrived at our staterooms. We had upgraded to Reserve Collection Mini-Suites and I loved everything about my cabin – especially the awesome, deep bathtub – I did not expect that!
There will be more posts about this trip in coming days and for those who follow my blog, you know at least one post will be featuring the food.
The food was spectacular……
