Cruise: The Food

 We had a great Smooth Jazz Cruise and will post more on that later.
The view from the top deck of Celebrity Summit which departed
from the port in Ft. Lauderdale.
Four ships headed out to sea with us on Saturday.  
Three followed our route and while it was beautiful to see the
ships lights at night it was also a comfort should an
emergency happen [think Titanic].
 Food ... plain, simple and plenty of it!
 We've been on this ship before [to Alaska] and have to
say the food was a step or two above this in the past.  Some felt 
the reason [the food was just okay] was because this was a charter 
cruise but none the less no one went hungry.  I personally 
didn't have a problem with anything I ate [or ordered in the 
Tuscan Grille which was an up charge of $45 per person].  
Wilson on the other hand did.  I hope the cruise company sends us
 a post- cruise survey to all on board.
 The pizza was pretty good and I made it a point to stop and
grab and slice or two each day.
 Pizza Station:   Dough waiting to be made into pizza.
 Free Beverages: Coffee, tea, lemonade, fruit juice and ice tea
Charged Beverages:  Soda, bottled water, orange juice
beer, wine and mixed drinks
Daily selections in the Oceanview Cafe
Salads with various fixings.



 The pizza station was very popular during the week.
There also was a pasta station, outside grill with hot dogs
and hamburgers, ice cream station and the Spa cafe
to name just a few.
 Not for the faint of heart - port holes placed in the floor in
one of the dining areas.  Yes, that is a chair leg.
 Looking for a healthy choice - the Spa Cafe was the 
place for that.

 BBQ under the stars in the process of being
set-up pool side.  We didn't attend because I made
reservations for our dinner at the Tuscan Grill and
Steakhouse.  While I had a pretty perfect meal
Wilson's meal was not great.  I doubt if we would
go back but we have a year to make that
decision.  Yes, I did re-book us for 2019.

  1. Katie, I feel like I gained weight just looking at all the delicious food. I think the next cruise we take will be on the Royal Caribbean because they have an extensive menu of gluten free items. Looks like you have a fantastic time.
