World Cruise menus

Every night there is a theme to the menus. Tonight was South America. It was fortunate that it corresponds to where we are at. The other night it was Baltic which was confusing as we expected something more local. The food has been excellent. At one of the culinary demonstrations it was mentioned that the food repeats 3 times during the cruise. Which really is not bad for a 107 day cruise. The lunches have been excellent. The deserts have also been really good and varied. This cruise scores an A+ in the food department.

Because I am gluten free they prepare a special desert for me each night. However, they also tell me what I can order off the regular menu. It's taken me a full week to realize that the special deserts are not just a one-off occasion and that they show up every night. On those nights that I order off the menu, after my order comes a plate of cookies or another desert just shows up. Yesterday it was chocolate chip cookies, tonight it was cheesecake. I'm very grateful for the consideration but tomorrow I will ask that they tell me what it is in advance so I can decide if I want to order that or off the menu. I can't take any more nights of them showing up with double desert. :-) Fortunately I have not ordered desert with lunch, although there is a full desert menu. Unfortunately I have located the afternoon ice cream bar. Fortunately I cannot partake in the cookies, brownies and milk that also accompany the ice cream bar. Also fortunately the full
selection of deserts right behind the ice cream bar is off limits to me also. You can see where this is going. Way too much desert available and it is all really good. Of course the chocolates also show up on your pillow each night. And one night when I couldn't eat the cookies they brought me for my gluten free desert they offered to deliver them to my room.
