Funchal, Madeira, Portugal
Miami - Houston
We had five days at sea between Madeira and St. Thomas. The days were pleasant and relaxing.
Lots of nice meals and good wine shared with ship-board friends made the time go fast. This is just a
sampling of what we enjoyed. In the restaurants, the portions are not large, but you can order more if you want.

 |
| Scrumptious carrot cake! On the menu every night. |
 |
 |
| One of the towel animals left by the room steward when making up the rooms every day. |
 |
| Our butler, 'Cha' - very nice fellow and very helpful. |
 |
| Breakfast in the cabin - yum. |
 |
| One
of several large, ornate dining rooms. We always went to the
restaurants rather than the buffet because of the nice atmosphere. |
 |
| Creme Brulee |
 |
| Cheese, fruit and nuts. |
 |
| Shrimp Linguini |
 |
 |
 |
| Part of the salad bar at the Brazilian 'Chiaroscuro' restaurant, one of the specialty restaurants on board. |
 |  |
| Brazilian style bar-b-que, a variety of meats carved | at the table. The pineapple was delicious. |
 |
| A little late afternoon cheese and crackers with some wine. |
 |
| There was a show every night in the ship's theater. |
After five days at sea, we arrive at St. Thomas. There isn't much to see right around the
boat dock except a big shopping mall. We just went out for a few hours and walked around.
The Havensight shopping mall is huge, many seperate buildings and lots of shops.
 |
| Luxury yacht moored next door. |
