We also did the Chef's Table which is a 7 course Degustation Menu with matching Wines,WOW it is fantastic and if others read this it is a must do.

My (now) husband and I went on an Alaskan cruise in 1999. One night one our way to a show he wanted to walk around the front deck of the ship, I wasn't keen as it was cold and I wanted to get good seats at the show. I begrudgingly gave in and went outside, I became aware that he wasn't walking beside me and turned to find him on bended knee and he proposed!! An amazing holiday was made even more so and I have no idea whether we made it to the show or not!!<br /><br />egensathome@clear.net.nzSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770805363274464495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-713738543484756304.post-9454550250883818922012-01-16T23:59:46.890+13:002012-01-16T23:59:46.890+13:00i would love to go on a cruise ship for our 4th ye...i would love to go on a cruise ship for our 4th year anniversary unfortunately, with kids and work we havent had any time to ourselves ..... i dont mind where the ship would take us as long as it doesnt include kids, work and daily life expectations .... i would go anywhere in teh world or just off the tip coast of auckland for a few days just to be with my husband :) you can contact me sandra ree-lo@xtra.co.nzRee-Lohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07516581185774602242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-713738543484756304.post-28521880494819194462012-01-16T22:26:27.303+13:002012-01-16T22:26:27.303+13:00The Ice Sculpture looked amazing and 'No Caler...The Ice Sculpture looked amazing and 'No Caleries' in that one....

I've never been on a cruise but have a few friends that have and they just loved it, but I didn't hear as much detail about it as I've read in your blog, I love my food and love to read about food so descriptions and photos are great :) A cruise would honestly have to be one of my dream holidays, even despite the tragic Italian cruise on the news headlines. I think I'd prefer a Pacific cruise not too far from home as opposed to the other side of the world.

It was absolutely amazing.<br />Reading your blogs brings back so many happy memories - I would highly recommend cruising as a holiday. My hubby didn't particularly want to go on our first but he's pretty much a cruise addict now too. Its the most stunning holiday for a mother.
