Chicken Pot Pie last night.
Today, created a homemade stock from a beef soup bone and various herbs (rosemary, oregano, and thyme) that simmered all day. Added diced vegetables (potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, sweet corn and peas) an hour before eating tonight for a hearty soup.
And it was a pretty pathetic storm at that.
I think you’ll find it can be somewhat similar to a WC if only in the fact that Grand Voyage folks can be a bit cliquish, sticking to themselves and not welcoming others to join in their groups. It wasn’t any big deal to us taking a single voyage, just different, as we had never experienced such a vibe on board SS before.
Seeing all these beef comments and what many of you are paying per pound, I’m so fortunate that our family raises our own cattle (black and red angus), much like @RachelG’s family does.
We enjoyed it. Loved the restaurant / bar and view from the rooftop, regular private transfers to/from Piazza San Marco, and the quietness of Giudecca Island.
Yes. On about a quarter to one-third of our voyages, I’d say. I can remember one being an overnight. Another was a very late departure. Two due to weather and one due to a disputed fuel bill of all things.
