That was only the beginning of finding out that half of what was promised to us was well… inaccurate…
No Wi-Fi on the ship… SORRY… but the website specifically mentions Wi-Fi… SORRY.
We chose to drown our sorrow-disappointment-confusion with FOOD! What about those tasty meals that were promised you ask?
First on our itinerary: Lunch– made especially by the renowned chef of the ship, educated and trained in the best restaurants in France.
First Course: Vegetable soup (with small bits of some unrecognizable meat floating in it).
Second Course: Glazed pork.
Third Course: Vietnamese spring rolls filled with chicken and…PORK.
By now our generous hosts (and I’m not cynical at all this time – they were extremely nice) got the idea that there was something wrong with their guests and once they got the concept of no pork (Daphna and myself) or seafood (just Daphna – man, she is high-maintenance) they brought us fried rice dumplings with shrimp which were made especially for us. For me it was fine but Daphna doesn’t eat seafood…. “Hey” I told her (optimistic as always) ”It’s great for your diet!”
