For our tenth wedding anniversary (time flies!), we decided to go on a fantastic Carnival cruise out of NYC to St. John, New Brunswick. It was a wonderful four days of being spoiled with service and gourmet food. We took a bus tour to St. Martin to see the sea cave and have "world famous" clam chowder. Canada is beautiful country!
There was so much to see and do on board the ship, as well. We loved to people watch in the casino and every night we were treated to an awesome show. The Karoke bar was a hoot, as well! (No, I did not get up and sing. There was not enough liquor on board the ship for that to happen!) It was so nice to be able to pop back to the room for a quick change or a nice nap and not have it interrupt the day.
And the dinners! Perhaps my favorite was the Chateaubriand, or perhaps the Maine lobster tail and shrimp, although the tiliapa was yummy. B enjoyed the prime rib, panko crusted shrimp, salmon and chicken. The appetizers were wonderful as well. Fresh fruit, stuffed mushrooms, shrimp cocktail, mmmmmm. And the desserts! You would gain 5 lbs just reading about them, so I'll spare you all but the melting chocolate cake. Chocolate cake on the outside, yummy hot fudgey chocolate sauce on the inside, served with vanilla ice cream. I'm drooling right now thinking about it!
It was a wonderful way to pass the time while waiting for our Ladybug. It is great to have short term things to look forward to help me from going crazy waiting for her!
Hope you were able to get away for a bit this summer!
:D
