Back to Izumi

 Good morning,

The images of great food just keep coming from Catherine and Erica's cruise aboard Serenade of the Seas in Alaska.

Above is green tea ice cream.  I've had this.  Oh, yes, it's good! 

 Everything is beautifully presented and delicious!

 Sashimi!  

 Beef Teriyaki.  Yes, I would also eat at Izumi often during a cruise.

It all looks fantastic!

Enjoy!  Thanks for sharing the images.  Now, please send food!

Prince Rupert, BC, Canada

 Good morning,

Erica shared these images of Prince Rupert, BC, Canada, with us. 

 The artwork is beautiful!

 Fishing boats. The people who work these boats bring us the freshest, most delicious seafood!

Ah, yes, they could send us some cooler weather to the US mainland right now, too.

Healthy Snacks

 Good morning,

It's the small touches that Royal Caribbean does so well.

Healthy, refreshing snacks are delivered to suites and are so very welcome! 

Maybe not as healthy, but oh, so lovely and yummy, too!

Enjoy,

Lois

Izumi Dinner

 Good morning,

Catherine and Erica had several meals at Izumi, the Japanese Restaurant aboard Serenade of the Seas.

Above is Konkatsu Ramen. 

 This is Champagne Lobster Roll.  This would definitely be my choice!

Oh, goodness, the cruise is worth it just for the food!

Enjoy,

Lois

Sitka, Alaska, Harbor

 Good morning,

What a lovely place!  I'm sure we could use some of that lovely cool air from Alaska down here on the mainland right now!

Thank you to Catherine and Erica for the images from their Alaskan Cruise aboard Serenade of the Seas.

Enjoy,
