Our first Caribbean Cruise - a cultural and culinary experience!


In 1997, we decided to cruise the Caribbean over the Christmas break - both girls were still in school at the time. It was a fantastic vacation and we could not get over the extravaganza of wonderful food served on the ship. We sampled everything from succulent prime rib to tantalizing flaming desserts. We especially loved the presentation and formality of it all. One night, the girls noticed "French onion soup" on the menu and they had only ever tasted the one their Dad made. So, it was an opportunity to see if these chefs could compare. They rated the chef's with an "8"; still not as good as Dad's but pretty close. We still chuckle about that moment to this day!
