Day 2 at Sea, Part 2

So, where were we....ah, yes, Pirate Precautions and the pool! I successfully made it to my spa appointment (good thing, as my schedule was just PACKED....) and it was a very nice hour.  I've had a hot stone massage before, and this lady did a much better job.  The hot stones are nice because they store the heat (duh, hot stones!) and can be more comfortable than a regular massage.  Then I went back to the room and ordered some lunch - have to love room service when it shows up in about 15 minutes, delivered cheerily by your butler, who sets it up (with a tablecloth no less!) on your in room dining table.  I had some chicken noodle soup (awesome) and some pizza (not awesome) and an assortment of asian appetizers (egg roll and potsticker) which were pretty good.  Then it was time to get ready for dinner - after a long day of doing very little!!!

I did manage to take a few photos of our room, and here they are.  I'll try for some ship ones tomorrow, if I can fit it into my busy schedule.....

These are some pictures of our sitting and dining area

We had chosen to have dinner at 6pm at one of the specialty restaurants known as Silk Harvest - they serve an assortment of asian(ish) dishes, but I wasn't sure if they were going to be favorite or not.  I shouldn't have worried, they were excellent.  Here's the menu -

Funniest part of the evening- we decided to have a glass of wine, and ended up with an Erath Pinot Blanc.  Why yes, I am 9000 miles from home and have a wine that was produced right around the corner......LOL. We started off with some appetizers, chicken egg rolls, some chicken lettuce wraps and my personal fave, cream cheese filled wontons.  I actually ate about 6 of them. We also sampled the "vegetarian" sushi roll (it had cucumber and carrot it it) and I can't say that I will be eating many sushi rolls in the future, as I didn't care for it.....

For the main dishes, everything is served family style, and we had some beef chow mein, pepper beef stir fry, orange chicken and chicken fried rice.  All were very excellent, although we didn't end up eating more than half of any dish.  I tried the cheesecake for dessert, but only could eat about half.  We then stumbled out about 745 and made our way back downstairs to the Martini bar to hang out with some of our friends.  We were going to go in at 930pm and grab some coffee and dessert (maybe!) with our waiter Joey, who had taken a few minutes around 630 to swing up to Silk Harvest to make sure we were being taken care of appropriately.   I thought that was very nice, so we returned the favor.  Then back out to the Martini bar and the Grand Foyer for the 60's Groovy party (somewhat lame, but good peoplewatching!) and then up to bed!  What a day, and another sea day tomorrow.
