A day at sea and
Key West
Following a fun-filled first day and night aboard the
Majesty of the Seas, Punky and I were prepared to slow things down with a
relaxing day at sea before our first port of call in Key West.
We began the day, as well as every subsequent morning,
with the breakfast buffet at the Windjammer Cafe on Deck 11. The Windjammer also served as our usual
lunch spot for other days we spent on the ship.
The Windjammer Café always provided plenty of viewpoints
– whether forward-facing, port or starboard, of the sea. Unfortunately, empty seats seemed to be few
and far between. Perhaps it was the lack
of other dining options, or maybe our timing just wasn’t that good. The food was serviceable overall, albeit
mostly on the bland side. I guess you
have to cater to the masses. I was also surprised
by the lack of more daring menu items offered, the Caribbean-themed final night
being a notable exception. (Bring on the oxtail stew, Jamaican escovitch fish
and jerk chicken!) Still, I was always
happy to get my share of smoked salmon and corned beef at breakfast.
