I am sure by now you know I am a cameraholic and can you
believe I left my camera in my parents cabin on the ship.
I was not a happy camper but as we got up to leave the ship,
I saw my friend Vicki from work and her husband Dave.
Thanks to them, I have these pictures to share.

This picture was taken on my cell phone. I am
eating Boston Clam chowder at Faneilhall Marketplace.
I had the roast turkey, sage and onion stuffing and
pumpkin scallion hash. It was great. There is always
so many great things to choose from. The startes(appetizers)
that change each night. Then the Carnival classics that
are favorites that are served every dinner. There was
also a few healthy selections. Of course there is the
wonderful selection of deserts.
