We headed down for our last dinner at Luminae.
The menu:
Sweet Pea says that the amuse-bouches are her favorite part of the cruise.
The fennel soup with lobster, fennel and pomegranate seeds was very good, but a little strange. The tart pomegranate seeds are a surprising contrast in the smooth savory fennel soup.
Sweet Pea ordered the pizzette, which she liked. Although this version wasn't quite as good as the the Equinox because the crust was so thick and there wasn't as much sauce or topping.
Our waiter, Adem, was concerned that Sweet Pea didn't like it because it wasn't a traditional pizza. She did. She had just been so busy talking to us that she hadn't taken a bite yet.
Grandma Trudy had ordered a spinach pastry from the main dining room menu.
For my main course, I had the seafood fettuccini. The seafood in it was excellent, but the pasta was a little overcooked.
Ross ordered the barramundi and loved it. It was nicely seared, perfectly flaky and seasoned well.
Grandma Trudy ordered tilapia from the main dining room.
Sweet Pea was in a big hurry to leave so she could get to the kid's club auction and spend her "fun factory dollars" that she had earned during the cruise. Adem brought her a Chocolate Carmel dessert with pretzel ice cream that she loved.
Yummy! She ate about half of it and then Ross took her up to the kid's club. They brought Grandma Trudy a creme brulee, of course.
I ordered the cheese that was on the dessert menu, but Adem brought me a wedge of brie stuffed with sliced truffles and served with a delicious truffle tapenade. This was not actually what was listed on the menu so I don't know to order it again, but Oh My Goodness. It was really tasty.
After dinner, we went back to the room to finish packing, which didn't take too long. (I can not stress how much easier it is to pack-up in the penthouse suite!)
Grandma Trudy wanted to do a little shopping to spend the last of our on-board credit so Ross went with her. You will not be surprised that I went to pub trivia. I joined a random team and we won, although the other players on this team were a little lax about grading our answers. I think it's better when the host makes you switch answer sheets with another team.
Since the prize ticket redemption had already happened, we won some decks of cards, but I gave mine away.
I picked up my favorite cocktail, Tropically Yours, from the World Class Bar and then went to the theater to save seats for Ross and Grandma Trudy.
Grandma Trudy had bought me a nice little necklace with some of our onboard credit.
The show was "Late Night Comedy with Dave Burleigh". It turned out that he was on our last cruise too, so we had seen about half of his material. He was pretty good, especially because he does great impressions. He did a little bit about Christopher Walken being a waiter, which was dead-on.
