Ship’s Dining

Why do I write so much about food? You Know! Ships have superb chefs (tongue twister) and the food is excellent-both preparation and presentation.

Almost as important is the wait staff-they can enhance or reduce your culinary experience. We were so fortunate as to meet Gabriela from Romania. We tried to sit at her table every evening. On the last day, I wrote her this note along with a generous tip (I know- I can read your minds).

Dear Gabby,

You are the best “waiter” we’ve ever had. We usually sail on ships with organized seating-sometimes we get the magic princess-sometimes we get the frog.
Freestyle dining is like gold mining-you mine in different areas-sometimes you find a nugget or two-infrequently, you hit the mother lode. Gabby, you are the mother lode.
