Cruise ~ A Fun Day at Sea / Gala Buffet

The first day of our cruise was spent at sea. So, we entertained ourselves with a bit of putt-putt, exploring the ship, and of course lounging on the deck! We also took the time to witness the "Hairy Chest" Contest..... OH MY!! The guy that won could have been nicknamed "Chewy"! Yes, as in Chewbacca!!! His hairy chest draped up and over his shoulders and down his back!!! I just couldn't even "bear" to take a picture!!!! ;-}
Anyway, we did have a very nice relaxing day. Then a big evening!!
It was a dress-up night which was kicked off with the Captain's cocktail party.....
At dinner they celebrated all birthdays and anniversaries. So we were given a special anniversary dessert which was, of course and like all the food on the ship, to die for!!!!
After the evening show, was the Gala Buffet.....
...which consisted of TOTALLY edible masterpieces!!
I've made the following pictures smaller to be able to post so many, but I believe if you click on the picture, it will bring it up larger. 
A mound of spun sugar on the left....
And I believe these are my favorites....
Look! Flying squash with carrot beaks!!
(L) Would it be cheesy fish? Or fishy cheese?
(R) And what a beautiful vegetable bouquet!!
And lovely spun sugar flowers......
It was all absolutely amazing!! But we just came for the visit; we didn't come back at midnight to partake....
