*This is going to be a bit of a blog with some details of activities we did, but I promise you it is still mainly about food!!

It was a dream that after we graduated from university I said that all of us needs to go on a cruise. And Michelle being Michelle… well… dreams need some action to come true! So here we are. On the Harmony of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship (at least for now), we go!

We went with the Royal Carribean and had an excellent experience with them! They make planning, scheduling, and signing up for things so simple and easy!

The ship is enormous! There is so much to see and do! We didn’t eat at all yet and the first thing we chose was Boardwalk Dog House. And big surprise! It serves hot dogs and has a variety of toppings you can put on top. (not sure if it was just the one time we tried it but the bread was super hard… like it was stale)

 

We got too excited with everything while we were exploring the ship and had to try out the snacks at MiniBites.

Along the way we saw an ice cream machine and being the kids we are we lined up… patiently :). We even convinced health guru Brenton to eat one. 😀

To be honest, this was around an hour or 2 hours before our dinner. Did we ruin our appetite? Keep scrolling to find out muhahahaha.

But first some quick photo sessions by our photographer Brenton. And the counting of drinks start to make our drink package worth it haha.

We took a while to find our assigned dining room (Silk) hehe. But we were excited to look at the menu!

We discovered you can order whatever you want… as much as you want…

When we saw escargot on the menu we all actually got one for each! It was yummy… but so buttery omgosh.

Nancy’s Chicken Waldorf Salad, clean and healthy. But we wished there was some more sauce as it was quite dry.

Next is Michelle’s caesar salad. Not very healthy ahaha. It tastes just like your typical caesar salad. But the uncut bottoms made me wonder how clean it really was hmm.

Justin ordered this yummy Beef Carpaccio. I think it only appeared for the first day :(.

Horseradish- Crusted Salmon. This was really yummy D: (I wish there were emojis on WordPress! I need to EXPRESS MY FEELINGS)

Nancy made the best choice! Wild Mushroom Risotto. What I love about white truffles is that it gives a bit of a garlicky flavour and the flavour is intense but disappears quickly. Sounds like something you don’t want but it makes the meal a lot lighter and allows you to keep going for the next bite.

Justin got the Grilled New York Sirloin Steak. He got it medium rare and ate it up quickly so me assumes it must’ve been yummy!

Brenton got the Chef’s recommendation of the Prime Rib of Beef. Not bad! It was moist.

Justin got this cheesecake. I wish I got this, it was light and a good size to finish off a meal. The syrup is a bit too sweet for my liking though.

I got the (Nancy trying to help me figure out the name of this)… I think they described it almost like a lava cake, which got me really excited! But it wasn’t hollow on the inside at all. This dessert was too heavy for me but luckily I had the ice cream (as seen below) to help me with this chocolately dessert.

Update: Nana found out it was called the Royal Chocolate cake and it said it had dulce de leche and chocolate fudge (where was the chocolate fudge though? D:)

I was craving ice cream after having ice cream… It said sugar-free, but it was still sweet and oh, so yummy!

Nancy got this creme brulee! We wish it was a burnt a bit more at the top and wish it was more even all around. But the inside is what we love the most! The custard is light and airy and not too sweet! (If you guys want good creme brulee, I recommend Izakaya Tomo in Edmonton, Alberta)!

 

Anddddd that concludes the first day of our trip! We got to play around with the bionic bar. These mechanical arms shake up all kinds of drinks! You can make your own recipe too and other people can order and rate your drink!

Stay tuned…

 

-Love Mish.
