Renee didn't like her first choice, "the blue one." I don't remember what it was, but one sip was enough for her to know she didn't like it. Coincidentally, one sip of my espresso martini was enough for her to know she did like that. Very much, actually. "The blue one" was promptly abandoned and Renee received her own espresso martini minutes later.

We woke up this morning to an unexpected port call. At first I thought we were just slowly traversing the Turks Island Passage, cutting southward through the islands. I then realized we were sitting still, and then realized we're were docked. The concierge told us there was a medical emergency on board, and the captain later made an announcement that a crew member needed "additional medical attention that can only be received at a hospital." I watched as an ambulance slowly made its way to the dock and presumably carried the crew member away. I sure hope they're ok.
I also watched a Learjet land at Grand Turk International airport, which was cool. Flew in from Tampa, making slightly better time than us. ;-)
Maybe 20-30 minutes later we were underway again. I guess now Renee and I can officially say we've been to Turks and Caicos.

We ended up having three dessert courses because of the anniversary cake. This course included another cake (presented in the smaller egg pictured here), some chocolates, and apricot rolls. They surprised me a bit, and I think I liked them the best.
We couldn't finish this round. So much food!
The maǐtre ď brought Renee a rose (fibbing a bit, saying it was from me), and we left after enjoying one of the best meals we've ever had.

Our waiter knew we were celebrating our anniversary, and asked if we wanted to celebrate in the restaurant (assuring us it would not involve a group of waiters clapping and singing at our table!). At the end of our meal, he brought our "surprise" - a celebration cake in a mirrored egg. The presentation was a bit odd when compared to the amazing presentation of everything else, but the cake was fantastic. We enjoyed it a bit later, as our second dessert.

Renee and I enjoyed a wonderful, multi-course dinner at Remy onboard the Disney Fantasy tonight. Our waiter suggested that Renee order the French tasting and that I order the American, and that we then share each course. He essentially gave us permission to do what we were wondering but might have been afraid to ask, which was a really welcoming way to start the meal.
Turns out, pretty much everything from both menus was fantastic. I think we both like the toothfish the best, followed by the Wagyu beef and then, for me, the beet dish. Truly an incredible meal and amazing service.
