We awoke to the sound of Peter the cruise director telling us that the safety drill was going to start soon. I decided to see if our luggage was outside our door and it was. We quickly put everything unpacked and put our suitcases in the closet as they did not fit under the bed. This is something I missed from being on the Dream and Fantasy.
We headed to our muster station, muster station T. T was located in the port aft corner of Animator's Palette. The drill was quick and painless, I love that we didn't have to stand outside like sardines. The worst part of the drill was leaving the restaurant, it was a zoo. We didn't even attempt to use the elevators. We walked up the aft stairs from Deck 3 to Deck 10 to get a view of the Sailaway Party, Adventures Away!
We counted down til we heard the horn then went down to deck 9 aft and got some fruit from Goofy's Galley and some pop to bring back to the room. We watched Hercules as we got ready for dinner.
We had early seating for dinner and tonight's dinner was at Triton's. We were sat at an 8 person table. Our table mates were 2 other couples around our age (Hannah and Justin, and Jamie and Stephen), and a father and son from Poland (Chris and Mateo)
I love french food so I was very excited about this menu because they had duck, and not just one duck dish, TWO!
I started the meal off with the Duck Confit with Dried Prunes, Candied Walnuts and some greens
with an apple walnut dressing. It was delicious.
Jeremy had the escargot with mushrooms and garlic butter. Jeremy said it was very good, he offered me to try one and I declined. Snails scare me.
For our main courses I had the duck breast with cabbage potato cake with pomegranate jus , and Jer had the Lamb Shank with portobello mushrooms, polenta in a redwine sauce. Both entrees were very good.
To end our meal I had the Vanilla Creme Brulee and Jer had the Grand Marnier Souffle. The creme brulee was awesome, the souffle was a tad dry but still very good.
Following dinner we walked around the shops but we behaved for now and didn't buy anything. We went back up to our room and rested while watching Hocus Pocus, but had to leave right before the end to head to Wavebands to watch Match Your Mate. We just wanted to watch and not participate so we sat in a back booth. Our table mates Hannah and Justin were up there though, so we enjoyed watching them. One thing I have to say is Toy Story, if you know the questions, this will make sense. They didn't win, the newlywed couple (known as the Hanging Chad and the Slutty Pumpkin) did. After this we realized we were exhausted and came back to the room and had a nice sleep.
