Cristal ship – life aboard

Lunch aboard was a very interesting and tasty experience. Actually we could choose lunch at the restaurant of the ship where 3 starters, salads, main courses and deserts were available. The maitre would also help us to find a table for sitting and the waiters would come fast enough for our orders. They were all really polite and helpful. Of course, we could order any dish and eat as much as we could! No extra charges except for the drinks. Alternatively, we could have a buffet lunch either in the buffet salon or at the pool deck. In that case the food variety was much larger but we had to be served on our own.

We chose the outdoors buffet on that day because we preferred sitting at the pool deck as the weather was really nice and we had a great sea view too!

The outdoor buffet of the pool deck served pita-gyros in the greek style and everybody was at the queue for it! Opposite the buffet, a nice event had been organized; the Greek chef of the ship was teaching people how to cook pita-gyros with the famous tzatziki sauce! When the lesson had ended, another chef (I cannot recall his origin) appeared and started singing for us. It was a very nice performance and the view of the singer dressed in a chef’s costume was really cute. (Unfortunately, my camera had run out of battery by that moment…).
