March 6, 2016 - A glorious, lazy day at sea filled with the relaxed rhythm of the ship. We met Danny from Ireland and his wife, Alison from England - Danny is now retired and they are traveling the world. As with most Irishmen, he's full of stories and bits of information about just about everything; a delight to listen to and chat with. He is from Donegal and after our last driving trip around Ireland, it was so interesting to have additional details of the various cities and towns we visited. He passed on a bit of little know trivia regarding Guinness - it actually was first brewed in Cashel before moving to St. James Gate.
We are definitely into the groove of cruising. As a group, we usually catch up during the day, but always meet before dinner at a bar close to our choice of dining venues. It's usually the Mariner Lounge outside the Compass Rose and Prime 7 dining rooms, but tonight we're going to try to get into the Italian restaurant - the transformed La Veranda - Sette Mari So we're meeting in the Constellation Lounge with the magnificent 220 degree view.
Sette Mari. Wow! In a word, fantastic. Way too much to eat, but all quite delicious... I'd be content with just the buffet offering abundant salads & various antipastos. Oh my! But I sacrificed to research and ordered the Veal Marsala while John opted for the Osso Buco, both were outstanding!
Tomorrow Recife, (pronounced "heh see fee") with an excursion to Recefi & Olinda and Prime 7 for dinner!
