Master Chef's Dinner
Each week, we had a night called The Master Chef's Dinner. The menu was basically decided for us, so it was kinda hard to eat. We had chef's hats at the tables and we enjoyed singing and dancing from the crew workers.
Dessert Extravaganza
They have Dessert Extravaganza on the cruise ship. It was fun to walk around and see all the cool displays they make. After about twenty minutes for pictures, it is kinda sad to see it all get broken apart as people eat their hearts out! Interestingly, they said they prepare enough for each passenger to eat 2 pounds of chocolate. When I got my fruit, the guy wanted to run it under the chocolate fountain, and was shocked when I told him, "no thanks".
Russian Dancers
I enjoyed watching the Russian Dancers and listening to the explanations before each dance. We were told that none of the dancers are Russian and that they aren't trained dancers. All of the dancers were volunteers and they were all women, so some had to play the role of men. I love music and dancing!!!
Tea Party Anyone?
Glassblowing
It was a nice day to go glassblowing. It was outside and I enjoyed the breeze that came through. Once again, we had to wear some fashionable lab coats for this unique experience. Jen wore dark protective glasses, but I didn't have to since I already sport glasses to protect these baby blues. Apparently the groups usually have ten people, but our group had three. Since it was such a small group and we weren't pressed for time, they let us each make two ornaments! The first one I made was a swirl with aqua and opal. Strawberry speckled was my choice for the second one. Knowing how much I talk, I didn't think blowing would be a hard task, but let me tell you, it was difficult. I decided it was because we had to blow the entire length instead of right up close like she did, but hey, we had to be sanitary and use different tips, so I won't complain!
