We four booked Devinly Decadence for our evening meal.
Although the food was good, they've down graded the menu.
Last time we were on board Anthem the surf and turf on the menu have lobster tails, which they have taken off and replaced with king prawns.
Now don't get me wrong, king prawns are nice, but they are a bit of a come down from lobster tails.
End of moan lol
At breakfast yesterday the full rear end of the ship, Ok the aft section to give it it's correct name, was plunged in to darkness as all the electrics failed.
Well to be honest it wasn't darkness, as it was about 8.30am but the ship did loose all electric power in the aft section.
There must have been quite a few people scared and panicking at being in a very rough Atlantic and the ship losing power, as the Captain made a number of announcements telling people not to worry and that everything was under control.
It only took about 15 minutes to sort out, but it was probably not the best kind of excitement to experience in a rough north Atlantic.
We all went to see the musical We Will Rock You yesterday and what a great show it was it starred Kevin Kennedy (Curly Watts from Coronation St) as pop the old hippy.
It's basically the story of the fight between good and evil. With the evil being electronic, manufactured pop music, not played on instruments but manufactured in the studio, has no soul, and rules the planet, a bit like today I suppose.
And then you have the good, which is of course rock music, which has gone underground, and is waiting for its messiah, who turns out to be a kid called Gallelo Figuero, who along with his girl Scaramouche aided by Pop and his band of bohemians search for and find the last musical instrument on the planet and bring back rock and roll then all live happily ever after.
A very obvious and old story line, but a great musical, packed full of fun, laughter, great singing and dancing and best of all chock full of the music of Queen.
Not for one second was I bored watching this show, a definite 10 / 10.
Last night in the diamond lounge Gary Thomas, the executive chef stopped for a chat, he's a nice guy from Liverpool. We've met him before on other ships.
He was telling us that he was one of four chefs that developed the very unusual menu in Wonderland
He explained how they prepared a couple of the dishes, one thing he explained was how they made the pebbles in the soil and pebbles dish. It appears that the baby boiled potatoes are covered in a pottery clay mixture and then baked in a cool oven which was interesting.
Also in our company last night was Karl Lornie from Beatles Celebration and he always has a story or two.
Overall it was a very pleasant evening.
We arrived in Southampton, and I dropped the girls off at the port with the luggage, while Maz and I took the hire car back.
When we got back it turned out that Sue and Sheila had been talking to one of the ships officers, Jennifer the guest services manager, but, she wasn't very nice the last time we'd seen her.
Anyway it being Sues birthday was mentioned and that we where going to the Wonderland Restaurant that night to celebrate.
The officer says she could book that for us now over the phone to save us messing around on board doing it where there possibly be queues etc.
After she'd finished on the phone, she tells the girls that it was all sorted and that it was on her.
I'm guessing that the last time we'd spoken to her she was time of the month or she was just having a bad day.
Either way we all had a wonderful meal in Wonderland.
