Day 18, August 30

Cabanas
please do not tell my Secrets it might get out to all the people that like Capt. Jack lmao

Another day, more food!

We had a day planned that was FULL of food! We had gotten up early and decided that we could just have a "small" breakfast at Cabanas.

So, here's my plate

Scrambled eggs, bacon, breakfast potatoes and a grilled tomato. Regular fare. To be fair, though, there was a lot to choose from, both hot and cold items!

Tom had the same as I had, he just had added some toast, butter and jam and a breakfast wrap.

Next up - Cove Cafe

you make the food look so good but cabanas was not top 5 places

Day 18, August 30

Cove Cafe

Our next stop was the Cove Cafe. We felt like some really good coffee.

Tom got a

Cappuccino, 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 froth.

I needed something more ........ filling!

Mochaccino, 1/3 espresso and chocolate blended with vanilla ice cream, let me tell you, it was wonderful!

Next up - Castaway Club Onboard Reception

Day 18, August 30

Castaway Club Onboard Reception

There still was lots more food to be had.

At 11am we were invited to our first Castaway Club Onboard Reception, since we had just turned Gold Castaway Club Members.

We were greeted with a champagne cocktail and some canapes.

Tom had

salmon canapes, while I had

brie on crackers, topped with raspberrys. Both were equally yummy and there were lots of other options, but we knew we had another reservation in just half an hour.

When we had to leave we got a little farewell present.

A Mickey rice crispy treat!

Next up - Palo Brunch

Day 18, August 30

Palo Brunch Part 1

Next stop on our food-feast morning was the Palo Brunch.

After signing in we were taken to our table. Gabriella our server led us to the buffet.

Once back at our table we were served

a Mimosa and some water. Then we were off to the buffet to enjoy and fill our plates.

My plate!

Grilled veggies, gorgonzola cheese, gorgonzola and walnut bread, salmon, artichoke and olives, seared tuna, shrimps and cocktail sauce to dip them in, serrano ham wrapped asparagus and a trout mousse.

Tom's plate! In addition to what I had taken he had a Bloody Mary shrimp shot, scallops and crab legs and a salmon mousse.

We look pretty happy, don't we?

Next up - Skyline

OMG Palo looks amazing and those pictures are OMG good wish i could eat a picture or 2

 

[disney67]

Day 18, August 30

Palo Brunch Part 2

Next up was the warm course.

We shared a four cheese pizza, which was wonderful!

Tom had the Chicken Cacciatore, which came with Risotto and was moist and very tasty.

I had the Eggs Florentine, poached egg on sauteed spinach, sitting on top of a toasted English Muffin, topped with Hollandaise sauce. Yummy!

Next up were desserts!

I had taken a Tiramisu,

a little chocolate tart, a chocolate covered strawberry and a vanilla cream filled profiterole.

Tom had some fresh fruit salad with a vanilla cream cornel on top, a chocolate covered strawberry and some vanilla joghurt with granola.

To say we were stuffed when we left is kind of an understatement!

Next up - Skyline

That food is holy cow look like the best i saw on the ship so far this is torture lol but good . and I so love tiramasu and i have to say after cooking with my brother in chicago I made my own chocolate dipped strawberries last sunday they came out good i will send picture .

 

[disney67]

Day 18, August 30

Skyline

In the afternoon, we met with two very nice friends, Ileana and Debby for drinks at Skyline.

Tom asked the server if he could order a

687 special brew beer and sure, he was able to get him one. Guess Tom must have liked it a lot, as this was the second one he got.

Us girls all had cocktails, unfortunately I didn't pay attention to what was ordered, but they all tasted very nice and looked fun too!

After having fun with friends it was time to return to our stateroom and get ready for dinner.

Next up - Palo

those pictures should be in a magazine those drinks look amazing WoW i missed alot Damn another excuse to cruise again
you guys are bad influences .

 

[disney67]

Day 18, August 30

Palo

More food for us today, as dinner was at Palo.

We arrived a few minutes early, waited at Meridian and were seated right on time.
Again, Gabriella was our server.

We started our meal with some

antipasti. They bring them out on a cart and you can decide what you want. We asked to sample the whole variety. There were olives, rosted peppers and fennel, bressaola and parma ham and large chunks of aged parmesan cheese, all dressed with aged balsamic vinegar. Very yummy!

Once these were placed on the table we were also served some of Palo's

freshly baked bread from their pizza oven, Grissini sticks, olive and ciabatta rolls, and focaccia bread

and some

chive and basil infused butter.

Our starters were the

Pizza Margherita, Tomato sauce, Sliced Tomatoes and Mozzarella for me and Gabriella told Tom that he would get a surprise starter, as there were several things he wanted to try.

Grilled Portobello Mushroom and Polenta with a Roasted Shallot Sauce and a parmesan crisp

Sicilian Pesto Marinated Grilled Shrimp on a mussel, crab and cherry tomato ragu and

Fritto Misto di Pesce con Olive all' Ascolana. deep-fried calamari, scallops, and mussels with lemon and deep-fried green olives, with delicious marinara dipping sauce. This appetizer sampler sent Tom to appetizer heaven!

Next up was the Palate cleanser

Lime sorbet, cold and tart and so nice inbetween courses.

Tom's main course was the

Osso Bucco di Vitello, slow-roasted center cut veal shank with gremolata and risotto Milanese. He had ordered this before on the Wonder and loved it and it didn't disappoint this time either. The meat was so tender it fell off the bone and the risotto was cooked perfectly. He really loved it.

But that wasn't all we got .......

We had told Gabriella beforehand that we had enjoyed the

Lobster and Mascarpone Ravioli with a light truffle beurre blanc. So she brought us a small portion to share. Yum!!

I had ordered another favourite of ours, (or mine ), the

the Beef Tenderloin "Palo" served with gorgonzola sauce, which was cooked perfectly and the gorgonzola sauce is perfect with the meat.

There was no question what we would order for dessert.

Palo's famous Chocolate Souffle, served with vanilla sauce and chocolate sauce and vanilla bean ice-cream.

Gabriella prepared it for us and we just enjoyed this heavenly treat. The souffle is very soft and velvety and tastes wonderful with the liquid chocolate and vanilla sauce.

Once we had settled the bill, we were served our digestive,

lime sorbet on prosecco. Fresh and cool and tart, so good!

Next up - Cabanas

OK all im going to say is Palo is worth every penny , and Disney should use some of your pictures !!!!

 

[disney67]

All caught up, wine tasting sounds good the glow cubes in the drinks, both savory and sweets souffles are on my must try list yum yum - palos brunch and dinner that souffle is making my mouth water

However after Australia we'll be back in the Disney planning mode-hopefully planning a cruise too

Look forward to reading more reviews.xx

 

[dizneeat]

Happy Easter to you too Karin

Your Easter pics made me smile, which is quite something as I am feeling very poorly (bad head cold made worse by getting just in time for a long weekend, sigh!).

What I wouldn't do for one of those lovely cocktails right now (not that I could taste it).

I am glad I could make you smile, even though you are feeling under the weather.
Hope you are feeling much better real soon.

you make the food look so good but cabanas was not top 5 places

Jeff, you know what I think about Cabanas.

well i'm not commenting on cappacino LOL but your dring looked amazing OMG good . I have to ask and i know alot about food what is a Canapes ? they looked good both of them and the mickey treats is always a cake topper for a disney function.

Canapes are small bitesize treats. I think they are very old school French. These were pretty yummy I have to say and we were pretty pleased with the Mickey rice crispy treats as well!

OMG Palo looks amazing and those pictures are OMG good wish i could eat a picture or 2

Told ya, you need to do Palo on your next cruise! The food is amazing!

That food is holy cow look like the best i saw on the ship so far this is torture lol but good . and I so love tiramasu and i have to say after cooking with my brother in chicago I made my own chocolate dipped strawberries last sunday they came out good i will send picture .

OK all im going to say is Palo is worth every penny , and Disney should use some of your pictures !!!!

We love room service breakfast - so relaxing when you can eat on the veranda with the view of Castaway Cay!
The boards can be a bit funny from time to time.

I know i'm late but Happy Easter Karin and Tom

Hi!
How wonderful that you are going to Australia next year, even if it means that you won't go to WDW.
And maybe there IS a cruise in your future ..... have you cruised with Disney before? It is an awesome experience!

More coming up soon.

Day 19, August 31

Tow Mater Grill

After 11 nights on board we underestimated packing and had to miss our last dinner service on board.

So once we were done packing we headed to Tow Mater Grill to pick up some

Hot Dogs! Well, they were really yummy. Unfortunately they had already closed the condiments bar, so they were rather basic, but yummy none the less.

Next up - Luigi's Pizza

 

[dizneeat]

Day 19, August 31

Luigi's Pizza

Our second option came from Luigi's Pizza. Again, we were finished with packing rather late, so there wasn't much choice left and they had just cut a fresh

Pepperoni Pizza, so we took two slices as well. Not the very best pizza in the world, but hot and fresh, with gooey cheese on top.

It was time to leave the ship ........

even the adult beverages were gone.

Next up - Debarkation Breakfast

 

[dizneeat]

Day 20, September 1

Debarkation Breakfast

It was time to say goodbye to the DREAM and the Fishermans

We had one last breakfast on the DREAM .....

Tom had the

Route 66, scrambled eggs, bacon, grilled sausage, grilled ham and hash browns. Not bad, but nothing to write home about either.

I had a

Ham and Cheese Omelette. And then it was time to say goodbye to our fabulous servers.

Next up - In room lunch and dinner

 

[dizneeat]

Day 20, September 1

In room lunch and dinner

After 11 days on board a wonderful cruise ship we were hungry for some real simple food, so we stocked up at Publix.

...... some salads, pepperoni, bread and condiments ...... heaven on Earth, even though it is very "down to Earth" food.
It was very much enjoyed.

Next up - Enchanted Grove

 

[dizneeat]

Day 21, September 2

Enchanted Grove

After a breakfast that consisted of leftovers from the day before we went to the Magic Kingdom first thing in the morning for the Marcelline to Magic Kingdom tour.

After the tour it was time for a drink......

Tom had the

Strawberry Punch, which was very nice. Very cold, good strawberry taste, but a little on the sweet side.

I had the

Raspberry lemonade slush. While I always loved that tart "drink", I did not care for this one. Either they changed the recipe or something was wrong, but this was just cold and rather tasteless and got thrown out after a few sips. Thank god, Tom's drink was large enough to share.

Next up - The Plaza

 

[dizneeat]

Day 21, September 2

The Plaza

After some more rides we went to have lunch at the Plaza.

We were promptly seated in the little room off the main dining room and our server was quick to bring our Diet Cokes.

Tom ordered the

Cheese Steak Sandwich - shaved beef, grilled with onions, mushrooms, red peppers, and white American cheese served on a hoagie roll. The beef was very tender and juicy and there was lots of it, as well as a decent amount of melted cheese. The roll was a bit soft, but nice none the less. He enjoyed it very much.

I ordered the

Tuna Salad Sandwich - tuna salad with lettuce and tomato on freshly baked croissant. This was great too. The tuna salad was well seasoned and there was more than plenty of it. The croissant was fresh and went surprisingly well with the tuna.
We both had the fries, which were very good. Larger, chunkier ones, which were soft in the middle, but nice and crisp on the outside with just the right amount of salt on them.

Next up - Kouzzina

 

[TigerKat]

I love the fries at The Plaza!!! Can't wait to hear about Kouzzina, we love it!

 

[jenseib]

UGH!! I made the mistake of reading near dinner time again.
I know what you mean...every so often just a bologna sandwich hits the spot...You need a little normal food here and there.

 

[tinacaplan]

YUM! Love the tuna croissant at the Plaza. How was the service? Just curious, as our experiences have been pretty mixed.
