smoked salmon, Prosciutto, bacon cooked to order… it was quite
a spread. Our friends opted to have breakfast in their room, every
morning.
The Trident Bar & Grill, out by the pool area, served ice cream,
espressos, hamburgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, sweet potato fries (!),
melts and pizzas all day long.
The array of food available for the taking at lunch and dinner was
staggering, and was very good indeed. Here’s a sampling from just
one special “Southern cooking” afternoon/evening’s offerings: Grilled
Chicken Breast Jambalaya, barbecued fried onions, turkey (white and
dark meat), okra fritters, Texas style chili con carne, Southern chick peas,
Boston baked beans, Southern fried chicken…
The dessert offerings were just as extensive and equally as good:
Key lime pie, New Orleans Pecan fudge, crème caramel, strawberry
tarts, macadamia brownies, crème brulée, apple crumb tart, brownie
custard shoot, mango tarts, mascarpone mousse, sugar-free New York
Cheesecake, Grandma’s Bourbon bread pudding, crème Chantilly…
Other amenities onboard included five different bars at which
to hang out, including a cigar lounge – the Connoisseur Club – that
looked every bit as if it were in Jolly Old. Here, we found an excellent
selection of cigars, combined with a wide choice of liquor and liqueurs
such as Scotch, Cognac, Calvados, Armagnac, and many, many others.
The rest of the ship is a smoke-free zone.
