Royal Caribbean
Enchantment of the Seas
For dinner in the evenings, you are assigned either a 6:30pm or 8:30pm seating time. We picked the 8:30pm seating since only old fogey's eat that early. So we eat a lot as usual. Try every single thing on the item that piques our interest. On the third evening of dinner, our head waiter informed us about this ice carving demonstration and more food offerings later that evening at 11:00pm. There was going to be a big Dancing Under The Stars poolside party to take place right after. So even though we were so frackin' stuffed and full and partly comatose, we hit up the desserts and other goodies that were laid out before us. So much food all the time! I was really into asking the head waiter all kinds of questions and he later called me out on that. Haha! Anyhow, since no time is as good as now, here are two questions that you may find of interest.
Q1) What happens to all of the leftover food?
A1) The leftover food is basically ground up and then released into the ocean and becomes food for the fishies.
That made me feel very happy because it would make me very sad thinking that one hundred thousand tons of food would be going to waste. I know feeding the oceanic world doesn't compare to the millions of starving people all over the world. But it's better than nothing!
Q2) Where does all the poo and pee and toilet paper go? In the ocean too? Haha!
A2) The ship actually has this big and super smart machine that filters the excretions. It goes through some sort of process where water that has been filtered from the rest of the junk flows back through the ship's toilets. Crazy huh! I forget what happens with the actual poo and pee. But I know that they do everything possible to conserve and are very efficient in re-using wutever they can.
The folks on board really do work very hard! On the last day, the ship docks at 7am and that's when our journey ends. But as it is the end for us, it starts alllll over again for them. We get off at 7am and then the whole crew must prepare the ship for the next group of cruisers who will be boarding the ship at about 3pm. The head waiter told us that most of the crew members are working on the cruise ship for about 6 months straight. But then after, they get 2 months off. I'm prolly off on those time periods but you get the fuzzy picture. Work non-stop for a long time and then get a bunch of consecutive days off.
OK. Enuf info. Onto the fotos.
Poor Miss Piggy.
Chocolat. I wasn't completely impressed with the chocolate carvings. Looks like someone half-arsed it.
A salmon salmon?
I love the animal carvings and fruit sculptures. I'm gonna attempt to recreate them one day. The day that I'm not super lazy.
