Live from the Prinsendam - 28 day Azores and Celtic Explorer - May 5th, 2018

After the wine tasting, it was time for the BLOCK party.

 

This is a first for the Prinsendam (and maybe the fleet?). All Captain Dag’s idea.

 

Here’s how it works. Want to meet the neighbour who is always slamming the door?

 

Want to meet the neighbour who had a bunch of people over and was having a bit of a boisterous wine tasting party?

 

You step out of your door into the hallway with a glass and the officers come with different wines and pour you a glass. Captain Dag and Linda came to every hallway to greet everyone and we had a couple of officers stay on our floor with us.

 

Some of the group from our wine tasting stayed so I bet they were trying to figure out how there could be 20+ people in a hallway with only 5 cabins. LOL.

 

One of my friends was leaning against the door that was a crew entrance and literally fell into the officers arms when he opened the door to join us. A pretty good looking officer too so she didn’t mind one little bit. LOL.

 

It was a lot of fun and soon time to get ready for Sel de Mer. We were dining with Vict0riann and told our other friends, Frances and Jose that we would be the guinea pigs to test it for our dinner with them in a few days.

 

OMG, Sel de Mer on this ship is WONDERFUL. We will be happy to do it again.

The plates at Sel de Mer are really different. Be sure to read the back of them.

our waiter recommended the sea food tower for an appetizer.

 

It comes like this

Another yummy option if you don't want the seafood tower.

When we got back to our room, these lovely truffles were waiting for us along with a recipe and note.

Oh my goodness Kazu! That dinner looks fabulous, as do Ann and Pat.

 

Best regards all around.

Here is last night's dinner menu.

 

Figures I missed roast beef again. Frances tells me it was cooked to perfection.
