This is not the same Razzle Dazzle restaurant we've seen in the past.  And apparently it's only changed on this ship and not the others.  It has turned into Lucky Lotus by Razzle Dazzle and is a chinese place now.

I had the Szechuan Hot and Sour Noodles and Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice.  For dessert it was Egg Tart.




Julie chose the Stir Fried Rice Noodles and the Almond Tofu & Black Sesame for dessert

The Galley is Virgin's take on the traditional Lido buffet.  We failed to take pictures of lunch, but it was just hamburgers and fries after we boarded.  We did however remember to capture dessert!

Boarded around 2:00pm and have taken time to eat lunch, do the muster, and start unpacking.

Isn't this a beautiful sight coming into the port.

More to come later, right now the internet connection on board is not being very cooperative.  Hopefully it improves when we set sail.

At one point walking through the sculptures, I was asked if i knew who Tiberius was.  My response of 'I know it was Captain Kirk's middle name' was met with an eye roll and a bit of a pity laugh.

Made a trip to see the Vatican.  Sadly, no photography is allowed within the Sistine Chapel  :(
