Our first cruise, Day 6: Sea Day

We spent our sixth day on the ship at sea catching up on sleep and relaxing. Highlights of the day included an amazing meal at Sabor, one of the ships specialty restaurants, dinner with friends, and dancing and pool time at the late night pool party. It was a really nice day.

Our day in a list.

Sabor Modern Mexican

Sabor is a modern Mexican restaurant, and one of three specialty restaurants aboard the ship. The specialty restaurants are not included in the price of the cruise. Sabor charges a flat per person fee of $25 dollars for dining, and al la carte pricing for cocktails. It was actually a pretty fantastic deal for the quality and amount of food we received. We were so stuffed at the end! I would highly recommend Sabor.

Freshly made guacamole and pico de gallo. Amazing!

Margarita sampler: mango with chili powder, passion fruit, and traditional

Chili Calamari: Fired calamari, lime sour cream, spicy-sweet tomatillo salsa

Pan-Seared Red Snapper, plantain mash, grilled poblano pepper, mango-papaya salsa

Yucca Barrel Fries with mango-habanero dipping sauce, and Calabacitas: zucchini, roasted poblano pepper, corn, black beans

Chicken-Stuffed Jalapenos, wrapped in bacon, sweet chipotle tomatillo salsa, cumin creme fraiche

Chicken and Roasted Corn Empanada, green mole, spicy peanut sauce, lemon verde

We didn’t have to choose a dessert. We got it all!

Relaxing on the Ship

Comedy Show

The Casino. We walked through it many times. Love all the lights.

Dinner at Leonardo’s

Our last dinner at Leonardo’s was bittersweet. We really enjoyed the company of Justin and Amanda and our assistant server Wu who was quite the character.
