I must admit, of the places in Europe we planned on visiting, Greece has never been high on our list. There really isn't a good reason. James knows more about later history than that, and other places just capture my imagination more. Today has me thinking that we were likely wrong. Although it was just a relaxed day in Corfu, wandering the little streets, exploring a fortress and eating gyros, it was still an amazing port stop. The views were gorgeous, the shopping was cheap, and the gyros had French fries in them. It doesn't get much better than that.
Back on board, we relaxed on deck, played a little trivia and prepared for our dinner at the specialty restaurant steakhouse, Crown Grill. I have to say that at $25, the Crown Grill must be one of the best values at sea. The food looked and tasted great. I started with scallops with pancetta, black and blue onion soup, and James had a lobster cake and shrimp bisque. Our steaks were cooked perfectly, juicy and flavorful, and were excellent cuts of meat. The vegetables are served family style, and you can order as many as you like. By the time we got to dessert, we were practically forcing ourselves to eat bites of the chocolate soufflé and berry cobbler. This is the type of food we were hoping to have at the chef's table we visited on a previous cruise: elegant, beautiful and delicious.
