Pics of DCL Food

Forgot to take a photo of the fruit pizzas we had in PALO. They were SO delicious - we couldnt spare the time to photograph them! Make sure you try them at the Brunch - they were just superb.

Cream of Chicken soup on the kids menu

Granada Spice Chicken Wings with Pomergranate BBQ Sauce

Piccadero's Slow Roasted Rib-Eye of Beef with Double-baked Potatoes and Green Beans

I think, since we didn't order much for dinner the waiters thought we were saving room for dessert. They brought out the entire menu. The dining room was really empty that night as well. So, that might have had something to do with it.

Banana bread pudding cake

Ice Cream Sundae--Double Fudge Bar & Cookies, topped with Whipped Cream & Chocolate Sauce

Creme Brulee Cheesecake

Valencia - Almond Sponge, Chocolate Praline Chiboust over Orange Cream, Dark Chocolate Coat with Orange & Nougat Sauce

Lavender Caramelized Flan with Caramel fence, Gooseberries & fresh Lavender (pretty gross tasting)

Here's all the desserts on the table. Plus, they brought us creme brulee from another dining room since that is our favorite.

That bread pudding looks amazing, all dense and squidgy. I've never heard of it before, I hope it shows up on our 7-day. Lavender--sounds interesting but gotta figure it's going to taste like old-lady cologne. As for the table, I had to try to count water glasses--how big was your party that they expected you to eat all that?? Not that I wouldn't give it a valiant try...don't want to insult the chef you know.

Thanks for all these, everybody; really whetting my appetite (like it needs it) for our December cruise.

We were so stuffed at this point and it was only the 4th night. So, we didn't order much for dinner and shared. Then, they brought out dessert. We just took a bite of everything. The kids had fun trying new things. They actually discovered they like creme brulee. I didn't feel bad wasting the food because it was obviously they were going to throw away a lot of desserts that night. We were in port that day like until 7 pm and swear we were the only ones in the dining room.

There was only 4 of us at the table. We always had water and one more drink (the kids got milk). I usually got the drink of the day or iced tea. Dh usually got wine, beer or iced tea.

Tonight, we skipped the dining room to eat at Palo. Love it there. But we ate way too much food. I suggest doing this meal early in the cruise when you are less full...

When you arrive they start you out with bread and the following 3 garnishments:

Spread for your bread... Olive, bell pepper & Aioli Mayo

Some olives -- which we didn't eat but they look pretty...

Procuitto & parmesan cheese

My chocolate martini still not as good as the one at the Martini tasting class

We got brick oven pizza for appetizer

Tomato Mozzerella salad

Ahi tuna (John still says Hawaii has the best stuff)

Lemon Sorbet served right before the main course

Salmon over Ristouto (the salmon was fishy but the rice was yummy)

sea bass dish over mashed potatoes

pistachio type desser with berries and mint ice cream -- dh didn't order the chocolate souffle (the nerve of him)

The famous chocolate souffle. Did you know they have a special oven to make the souffle that cost $20,000 that's why it is difficult to duplicate the recipe at home. They have a special souffle oven.

We rolled out of the restaurant. I ended running 4 miles on the track that night LOL...

We did not eat in the dining room on the 6th night as that was our Rome day. The kids had pizza on deck nine. We enjoyed the empty pool but didn't eat much at this point. We were saving room for the brunch in Palo the next morning. Here are some pictures of the brunch offerings.

Made to order items:

Egg Fritta dish

Traditional type egg benedict:

Egg Florentine & egg benedict with salmon

Some sort of fish entree:

The reason I love the brunch the stollen bread with creme & berries (yummy)

 

[OurDogCisco]

The menu theme was Prince & Princess Gala:

Drinks of the day.. Sorry I don't have the name down..

Hot and Sour Soup AND Potato & Sausage soup

Marinated Salmon rolls

Mixed green salad with apples & cheese

Veal with Polenta

Lemon Peppered Beer baked stuffed Chicken with mashed potatoes

At this point, forward our waiter just brought out most of the desserts. I don't know why. We just sampled. But it was fun sampling..

We couldn't quite figure out what they were trying to do with this dessert. Cinderellla's slipper filled with chocolate on top of a strawberry cake

Chocolate pudding (kids' menu)

Aladdin's Flying Carpet... cake

Cinderella's Pumpkin cheesecake... all the desserts tonight were kinda strange

Beth I have waaaaay too many weird herb-based teas in my cupboard...lavender isn't a stretch! Yes, me too, we can compare notes on working in the public service for too long over beautiful food!

We just returned yesterday from our 4 night wonder cruise. It was awesome. I have to say I was very impressed with the food. This was our first cruise, so I really had nothing to compare it with - but it was really good! Here are some pics of some of the food I snapped pictured of.
