Our table for breakfast

Francesco, the head waiter in the breakfast dining room seems to know that we really aren't that interested in being seated at large tables with three other couples who are strangers to us. We used to love that aspect of cruising, but not so much anymore. You can talk about 1.) where you're from; 2.) how many cruises you've taken; 3.) which is your favorite cruise line; and 4.) how you're enjoying (or not) your cruise only so many times before you get tired of saying it and even more tired of hearing other people talk about it. So we enjoy our tables for 2, and even more when they're a 4-top table set for 2, and especially when it's by a window.

G LOVES getting oatmeal for breakfast with fresh strawberries on top and three scoops of brown sugar. And four different juices. And two pieces of ham steak. Well, it's a little healthy.
