Got back to the cabin to find message that we could dine again at Palo's tonight. We accepted immediately, although DH won't be joining us, because he was not feeling well.

Many of the dishes will look familiar. The menu is extensive, but not infinite; and we have our favoriates!!

Antipasto

Calamari

Tuna Carpaccio

Lobster Ravioli

(I did not order this the first night because I presumed the lobster content would be limited. The sauce alone was so good, I ordered it for myself on Friday)




Pasta Something (wasn't my dish)

Sorbet

Halibut

Osso Buco

Scallops

Filet

Pane Cotta (vanilla)

Chocolate Souffle

Igor poured in the cream

I have not provided commentary for each dish. They were all best-in-class. Bon Appetit!!

Good morning!!

I have loved every inch of your report (as usual)! You have also gotten me very, very excited for my trip on Saturday- we're going to St John for 5 days. It is our 4th time, with other couples and we all leave the kids at home. It is absolutely a wonderful time, we stay in a villa, eat in fabulous restaurants, snorkel in beautiful waters...ahhhhhhh.....We went to Honeymoon last year, it is a gorgeous beach ( and a hike from the parking lot when you don't arrive by boat!).

Thank-you for the wine recs, I will look for the Cab you mentioned when we return. And I feel so honored to have inspired YOU to do something- how was the spa villa? Did you feel it was worth the added expense? Also, how did the new menu in the regular restaurants compare to the old menus? Did you enjoy your "regular" meals on this cruise as much as previous ones? Oh, and we were in Fitz's rotation on our last cruise, too. He's a riot, and I LOVE him in the pirate hat! It really suits him, don't you think?

Have a great time in London-

Ellen

Thanks for a wonderful TR! Your photos are not only magnificent, they're inspiring. Poor DH is getting really, really tired of me dragging him to the computer and making him read about other people's vacations ... but your wine reviews especially will make him sit up and notice. Soon I'll get him as excited about our forthcoming cruise as much as I am!

I don't know HOW I missed the last set of comments, but I did. I was just reviewing posts, as we are taking our "free" 4 night Wonder cruise in Dec - and taking mothers-in-law with us. My mom is on internet, so was planning to bundle up a link to her when I saw your comments. Apologies for not replying!

In answer to your question - I really enjoyed the spa - here are pictures and "report" - Click here for Spa report - you made top billing!
