CFC = Constant Food Coma!

If there's one thing we learned on our trip, it is that we can eat a lot more than I ever thought is humanly possible. If anyone were to ever go hungry while on a cruise, then they must be doing something wrong because there was ALWAYS some sort of food being served! There was 24/7 pizza, ice cream and frozen yogurt for starters. I would have been happy with that! There were four different breakfast buffets all served between the time of 6:30am-noon and then at noon, two lunch buffets opened up! It was like one meal after another... They had a grill that was open from 12-6 each day and the sit-down dining rooms open at 5:30-9:00pm. They even had a late night buffet at 9pm and 11pm... no wonder there was a gym on board and a running track on the top deck! Jordan and I throughout our trip only took the elevator once. That's how we justified eating so much delicious goodness because we were constantly going up and down the stairs and walked everywhere so we walked it all off... and besides, calories don't count on vacation anyway, right?! We indulged in plenty of amazing foods and got to try a lot of new foods as well or things we wouldn't have a chance to try somewhere else. We felt very spoiled and pampered eating the way we did that's for sure! Here are our favorites and some of the unique things we ate while on our trip:
mid afternoon appetizer of some fresh sushi! yummy!
beef brisket with roasted veggies and mashed potatoes with gravy
the BEST dessert ever and I am not ashamed to admit that I had this every night!
chocolate melting cake with ice cream (and it looks like Mickey Mouse!)

Jordan's choice for dessert...
New York cheesecake with fresh strawberry puree glaze
alligator fritters with onion strings...not the greatest but at least we tried it!
I'm not usually a big seafood fan but this lobster and shrimp was very tasty!
lobster tail with garlic herb shrimp, mashed potatoes and panko covered broccoli
a wonderful dessert and an even better husband to share it with
roasted turkey with cranberry cream glaze, mashed sweet potatoes with onions
and some veggie mix...all good!
orange jello and strawberry cream topped off with whip cream and a blackberry
more fresh sushi

honey garlic glazed chicken with grilled onions and zucchini and mashed potatoes 
I ordered the "tropical fruit tray" and didn't realize how much melon would be on it...
so I made a smiley face for our waiter :)
Yummm my mouth is watering now and my stomach is growling after seeing all of that food again! I wish we could get catered to like that everyday...now that would be the life! Well, enough with the food...time to recap Jamaica, mon!
