Just an aside about some things that seemed to be confusing some CCs. -there are NO leftovers carried over from any restaurants to any restaurants…EVER. Any food prepared and not consumed is either incinerated or processed into fish food. -Breads and pastries are made fresh daily -produce is loaded fresh from either the NY providers and from providers at ports…usually both -proteins, eggs and dairy are loaded at LEAST once per week. -Longer international sailings have more frozen proteins than shorter cruises.. - Produce on longer sailings are stored to retain their freshness in a “proprietary way” (which the Chef de Cuisine would not disclose).

Some facts, observations and pics on the Behind the Scenes Tour. If you do enough of them, there is a lot of overlap from one ship to the next. I’ve done a few. Still, I learn something new each time. Crew galley, which was being sanitized at the time. There are SEVERAL galleys on each ship. This one, obviously for the crew. It features more and varied international cuisines given the vast differences in crew locales and backgrounds.

Glad you’re enjoying it. Frankly, there’s not been much to be a “critic” about. Maybe nitpick here and there, but that’s the extent of it. Granted, in the Haven but I’ve probably spent more time out and about in other parts of the ship. So far, so good! Have LOTS of input from the Gorgeous Girls, @debenson0723 and @Sugar Magnolia. They are the real stars of this show!!!! Of course, they are probably still “napping”! And, you’re right…you could have spotted me an A and a B..still wouldn’t have guessed ABBA!

Two performers calling themselves “MB ART” (I’m betting they are more than just performance artists). He comes from Cirque du Soleil and was an Olympic Gymnast. She’s a professional ballerina turned gymnast. They worked without a net about 25’-30’ off the ground….impressive! Great together. Really good show! Speaking of entertainment, spoke at length with the Cruise Director about perceived entertainment cuts. He was frank and said licensing fees were going through the roof for West End, Vegas, Broadway shows since Covid. He said that they had decided internally to start developing their own shows. And they are going to start rolling them out early next year. The ones they have developed, he assured that they would be the equal if not better than the shows they license previously. I suppose we will see. The game shows he said were a response by guests when given a choice for entertainment.
