Lectures - 讲座
Day 5
Unlike other big cruise lines, Crystal Cruise provides educational lectures during sea days. Typically there are three or four lectures presented by experts in the field on various topics from politics, science, entertainment, etc, each sea day. Yesterday, Cheri Steinkellner, a writer for the tv show Cheers gave a presentation on Cheers: Behind the Scenes, which was very entertaining. On the serious side, Brigadier General Nick Halley talked about war stories from Vietnam to Iraq. Today, Owen Ullmann, a managing editor at USA Today presented “The 2020 Financial Outlook”. Each presenter would give two to three lectures during the segment. We are really enjoying those lectures and learn a lot.
Today, the ship had Sunday brunch in Crystal Plaza. There is so much food there, but CG just had a simple salad from the brunch then went to Silk to have the noodle soup and a bun with BBQ pork. Both soup and bun were delicious. When he was about to leave, the waiter brought another special Chinese authentic short rib soup sent by the chef. The soup was very good too.
Today’s dinner was in Prego, an Italian restaurant. We ordered appetizer, soup, salad, and a main course. All of them were delicious. We definitely will go back to try different dishes. We had cheese as dessert. After today, we have now finished visiting all the restaurants on this ship.
