Shipboard Life-Galley tour
Two hundred seventy thousand meals were prepared on our voyage! But get this; most of the food comes on at the start of the voyage with fruits, vegetables and a few other necessary items are purchased along the way. The shopping list is mind-boggling, 50,000 pounds of meat (that's 25 tons!), 19,500 eggs, 2,500 gallons of ice cream, 26,000 pounds of poultry, 14,500 pounds of fish and 10,000 pounds of pasta. The galley staff of 75 is the ship's largest, accounting for 38% of 200 total crewmembers. The infrastructure and personnel necessary to keep the ship operating smoothly and efficiently are largely invisible until one visits below the passenger decks as we did.

Professor Andrea Parrot punctuated our daily 5PM Senior Adult bash on our way
to Cuba with a 60-minute Power Point lecture on sex. The room was filled to
capacity. The slides were awe-inspiring. The audience was in the palm of her
hand. Modern sex terminology is like a foreign language to most of us. Vanilla,
pistachio, rocky road, cumanche, kegel exercises, body piercing, feathers, whip
cream and chocolate sauce, chains, leather, tantric sex, kama sutra, and many
more terms have been added to today's sexual lexicon. This was the opportunity
to ask about anything and I mean anything. Nothing was left to the imagination.
"Variety and creativity" were her watchwords. Computer geeks such
as myself can identify with the cartoon below.
