Random ship shots – I liked the middle elevators with their murals!
Headed downstairs again and tonight was the Frozen show. Very cute, liked the puppetry for the younger versions of characters. Not as spectacular as the DCA version though, but that is understandable since DCA is a full-time production in a dedicated theatre, not like the ships where they rotate sets every day!
Afterwards did some window shopping to scope out merch we’d want to get later (I think the only shirt I got was the pink one).
Tonight’s dinner was Tritons, which was prob one of my favorite rotational meals.
Bread was Warm French Country Bread (with an Olive Spread).
Appetizers. I got the Iced Lobster and Jumbo Shrimp (with Green Asparagus, Horseradish Cream and Dill Dressing) and the Breaded and Deep Fried Brie (with an Orange and Cranberry Chutney). I liked the brie a lot, but I’m a big brie fan, so would take it anywhere! The shrimp was good but such little lobster and they both had a bit too much dill flavoring.
Mom got the Potage Parmentier (Leek and Potato Soup), which she liked. She may have also gotten the brie, but I don’t remember.
Mom and I couldn’t decide between the Chateaubriand-Roasted Fillet Steak (Roasted Filet Steak, Crushed New Potatoes with Shallots, Buttered Green Beans, Red Wine Jus, and a Bernaise Sauce on the side) and the Crispy Roasted Duck Breast (with Cabbage, Shallots, Honey Parsnip Mash, and a Duck Red Wine Jus) so we each got one and divided them in half. Worked out well because I liked duck more and she like steak more.
For dessert of course I had to try the Grand Marnier Souffle (with a Grand Marnier Crème Anglais) which became one of my favorite desserts, ever! I’ve since tried to make them at home (I make a pretty good chocolate souffle) but nothing can compare to DCL’s! I also go the Tahitian Vanilla Crème Brulee (with Almond Biscotti), which was good but not as amazing as the souffle! I know mom got the souffle too.
After dinner we walked around Deck 4 a bit and it was just crazy seeing this emptiness out on the horizon!
We also checked out the art gallery, where mom re-enacted Pinkie, another painting she gives tours of at the Huntington Gardens!
Then back to bed – I couldn’t wait to finally see Castaway Cay!
