What you do on a cruise, Part 6/ by Shelley L, Blog Editor
Eat exactly what your heart desires.
This is a photo of my niece Elyssa’s plate on the morning of the festive New Year’s day brunch. Pictured are 2 of the dozen or more crab claws she ate that morning plus a piece of cured and smoked fish with capers. On the same plate: a strawberry tart and fresh strawberries dipped in chocolate fondue. That’s what her heart desired, and that’s what she ate.
One of the most amusing events of the cruise for me, also on the topic of following your heart’s desires: My 11-year old nephew, Mikey, figured out how to order room service right off the TV in the stateroom. So, on the last night of the cruise, after packing her family of five so she could put the suitcases out in the hall by 11pm as part of the process of disembarkation, my sister-in-law, Carol, finally got her family to bed. They were awakened by a knock at the door at 2 am, which is when the 3 pepperoni pizzas Mikey had ordered were delivered!! Frank and I were in a stateroom right next door, and I could hear the hubbub through the wall for quite a while!!
