Day 37: Buffet

We have been at sea for several days sailing to Zanzibar since leaving Durban. I have been resting and taking it easy!

One of the highlights of being at sea is the wonderful buffets that Crystal puts together. This week was Mediterranean which was fantastic.



We had a tasting of everything from paella with seafood, marinated mussels to roasted lamb with yogurt. The crew dressed in bright colors and we had some great sampling of music from the Mediterranean to complete the experience.






Everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves and with the crew, how can you not? These ladies and gentlemen are the best. They always have a smile on their face and a cheerful greeting for you. I spoke with one gentleman this evening that is sailing with Crystal as a staff member for the first time. He said he is very excited and that being able to work with a great crew and meet guests from all over the world was very thrilling. He was one of twenty-five that were chosen to work for Crystal out of 200 hundred applicants. He said his mother and father were very proud, and I can see why, he is outstanding.






The crew seems to be there in the morning and also in the evening and they are consistently friendly and happy. It is a pleasure to be around them as they absolutely make you feel that you are family.
