Sailing from Gibraltar in Style - 10/28/13



Bye, bye Gibraltar!
After a great day ashore and an opportunity to catch up on e-mails and my blog, we sailed away around 5:00 PM our time.  This sailaway was different from any we’ve experienced before.  The captain came on the PA system and told us we’d be having a Champagne and Caviar sailaway with classical music.  We went up to Deck 8 and, sure enough, we had exactly that.  We had two very good coloratura sopranos who sang some wonderful arias.  On both sides of the deck, stations were set up where Rafael, the executive chef we met yesterday, and one of his Sous Chefs were dishing out Ossetra caviar while waiters passed around  champagne.  We paid attention to the views as we left Gibraltar behind, but I’m not sure anyone else did.  Internet is spotty again so I’ll try to post some photos later,

Champagne

And caviar (note the 4 kilo tin on the left)
