Dining Set : In the Condo and in the House

Look at our dining table while we live in our condo. I think the eat-in space are the same in sq ft with what we have right now. Small space. This dining set was bought in Rooms-To-Go 4 years ago and we love it. For a family of two, this is alright. The only setback is when we have friends who come over then, I have to add another table so all of us can dine together.

This is our eat in area  right now. The space is small too. We want to move to a bigger house and have a bigger dinning area. That will be awesome don't you think? The space on the right is our back porch.

Anyway, I have to go and blog later. Another client will look at the house at 1:30 PM. I have to clean the house again. Bye for now.

Great Food and Wonderful Music

Food and music, I love them both. Fridays and weekends, hubby and I love to have dinner in a restaurant along Cocoa and Cape Canaveral area. Great tasting food, amazing music and friendly guests surely turns a restaurant into a perfect place to unwind.
food-and-music
Last weekend, hubby and I dine in a restaurant with so many tourists. They were dancing barefoot on the sand and it was a nice evening. There were lighted torch, the band played music all night long and their soloist has good quality of voice. I noticed that the soloist uses the microphone that is similar to the best shure 58 at guitar center. Why I know? He lets the guests to participate in singing so; he hopped from table to table. The man next to us was given the mic and he sang one sentence of the song. It was an interesting night and we had a great evening.

Garden Cafe' and Great Outdoor a Freestyle Dining at Norwegian Sky Cruise Line

Looks like a Filipino food right? Well, I have no doubt that the cook in the Garden Cafe' and Great Outdoor restaurant is a Filipino. NCL company has 13 cruise ships and I happen to experienced cruising the Norwegian Sky. There are 80% of the Norwegian Sky crews came from the Philippines. I heard positive feedback about them in terms of workmanship.Anyway, our room attendant was an Indian and she was polite and courteous.A bar tender in the Great Outdoor gave me a terrible service. When he saw me approaching for my drinks refill, he made me wait. I thought he had important things to finish on his cash register. A man sat beside me and the bar tender started to entertain him and pretend not to see me. My husband observed that incident. Anyway, after the man left I asked the bar tender to refill my mug and he was sarcastic when he told me to open the lid of my mug. I was not satisfied with his service and he saw me holding my $5 and put it back in my wallet. The next day, he was so good to me and asked me where I came from. He was a Filipino, too bad huh?This restaurant is a buffet dining and the guests can occupy any seats they want and anywhere they like. Unlike the other cruise line, guests have a sitting arrangement all throughout the cruise duration. Not in a Free style cruising! Guests here can eat any time they want and they can order a room service for FREE of charge.The ship is huge, clean and most of the crews gave an excellent service to us. I would definitely recommend the Norwegian Sky. If you are planning to cruise to Bahamas, check out the Norwegian Cruise Line. I would love to do cruising again. I am thinking on husband's birthday perhaps? Now, I'm thinking...

The Freestyle Dining At Norwegian Sky Cruise Line

Last October, we took a 4 day-cruise to Bahamas thru Norwegian Cruise Line. We had fun times on board and inland when we explore the Freeport as well as Nassau. Norwegian Sky takes pride in offering their guest the Freestyle Cruising where the freedom on what to do and on what to see will depend on the choices of the guests. I enjoyed the Freestyle Dining the most because I can eat where and when I want.For breakfast, we love to dine in early in the Garden Cafe' and Great Outdoor which is a buffet style dining. Most of the servers are Asian and majority is Filipino. If you like a fine dining, you can go to the Crossings and the Palace Main Dining Room. You don't need to give your servers any tip because all guests are required to pay it per day. Hubby and I still give tips to the servers especially when they did a good job.  They don't require formal attire in the fine dining areas but, when we have dinners, most of us wore formal dresses. During breakfast and lunch, we wore casuals. Both Crossings and Palace Main Dining Rooms have cozy and elegant ambiance especially when dinners are served. You are paying for it so; you might as well enjoy the fine dining experience. The picture above is the poolside area on the 11th deck. The stairs will lead down to the Great Outdoor and Garden Cafe'. We just love it here for breakfast and we love to occupy the seats nearby the full glass window. It's just awesome to see the calm seas while having breakfast.I like the free style dining because I can sit to any table and in any dining area that I want in any time. In the other cruise lines, you have no freedom like that. You are stuck to the selected time and you are stuck to the same people who join with you on the table.Anyway, the food in Norwegian Sky is really delicious. Oh, that's the breakfast of my hubby just a pancake with butter and coffee with cream. One more thing, in Freestyle dining, you have the freedom to have your food delivered in your room free of charge. How nice and convenient is that right?

Good Morning

Good morning everyone! What's for breakfast? I am not really a morning person but, I eat a lot (",). I am a Filipino so I prefer plain white rice and dried fish and dunk it to a spicy vinegar. Im drooling for this food right now. Anyway, I cannot have that so; an alternate is an egg 'tortilla' with mushroom and lots of cheese in it with a tasty bagel.I had this breakfast while we dine in the Palace Restaurant in the Norwegian Sky Cruise on the date specified in the picture. The server that we have is a Filipino and we gave him a tip for a good service.
Anyway, I am hungry right now so; I guess I will have my rice with an egg and cheese omellette. Let's eat!

Freestyle Dining at Norwegian Sky

These are the sweets that I ate during my snack time while on board of the Norwegian Sky Cruise Ship. Okay, do not ask me what are these, LOL. I am not particular with the name but, with the taste, oh my gosh...these are really good.Norwegian Sky is a Freestyle Dining so; you can eat anytime and in any dining area of the cruise ship. If you love the buffet, you can just go to the Great Outdoor Cafe and Garden Cafe at the 11th deck. If you love the fine dining, you can go to the Palace or Crossings. This type of dining experience is way better than other cruise ship out there. In freestyle, you do not choose what time you eat, you do not sit on the same sitting arrangement and most of all, you can access the room service and have the food deliver at NO extra charge! That is truly awesome right?
