Rare L1211 Posted October 8, 2021 Author #256 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Can I talk about how special the people who work on this ship are? We met Emma, the Director of Housekeeping, in Java Blue. Like most crew members, she asked in what I believe to be a lovely Australian accent “how is your cruise?” with her own brand of enthusiasm. My mother, nearly 80, had just come from the beach. She beamed at Emma and said “I found out I could still swim!!’” Emma engaged her in a chat, learning my mother was born on an island, but hasn’t been on vacation in several years and hasn’t swam in a couple decades. Emma asks her why and she explained my father had been ill and she’d dedicated her time and life to caring for her life partner and husband of nearly 62 years. He just passed in July. Emma, with tears in her eyes, bought our drinks at Java Blue and sent my mother a plate of chocolate covered strawberries to her cabin. Her kind gesture made my Mother’s day. We will talk about it for years to come. I’m a chief HR Officer of a hospital company. It’s clear that you can’t have happy, caring staff without happy, caring leaders. Emma exemplified what we have loved about this trip. Special, caring team members, going out of their way, in their own special and unique way, to make each guest feel special and cared for. And they have succeeded! Good on you Emma and Carnival! No doubt it starts at the top… 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We each order a plate and take the cookies with us to enjoy later. We had them at the first seaday brunch. Takeaway was a great idea! We were too full for any dessert today.

Rare L1211 Posted October 8, 2021 Author #265 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Soup- onion and lobster - oh my! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare L1211 Posted October 8, 2021 Author #266 Share Posted October 8, 2021 So far 10/10- across the board! Everything we’ve eaten- outstanding. Best French onion soup “ever”. Rich, flavorful. Soft bread. Perfectly cooked onions, creamy cheese. Beef broth had to be a bone broth. Yum!! lobster bisque- comes with “lobster butter” and not lobster meat. Thin, but quite delicious in flavor. wow, what a start to a meal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare L1211 Posted October 8, 2021 Author #268 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Mushrooms were the star of that course. Anyone had them?!! Actually breaded and fried with a whipped ricotta and herb topping and melted cheese. To do for!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I found myself eating way too many of them. This was so true! We think of cruise ship desserts as “throw away” but not on Sunrise! Clearly their pastry chefs are for real! The baked goods were outstanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
