Nobu on the Crystal Symphony

Silk Road is celebrity chef Nobu Matsuhisa's incredible specialty restaurant on the Crystal Symphony. I have spent many a wonderful evening here stuffing my face, all while convincing myself it's ok because it's mostly raw fish. So healthy! (six courses later....)

Silk road is based off of Nobu's cuisine from over 20 of his restaurants...and here is 

a list of all of his locations 

from all over the world. From New York to LA to Budapest and beyond, Nobu, with the help of Robert DiNiro, has created a sushi sensation.

I highly recommend saving some money and blowing it all on a night to remember eating some of the most delicious Asian fusion... ever. Maybe you will run into some familiar faces:

...all coming and going at Nobu hot spots.

Some of my favorite dishes include the new style sashimi and Nobu box:

 I also enjoy the Rock Shrimp in a fabulous cream sauce that apparently is one of Scarlett Johansson's favorite dishes. 

So lucky to have had the opportunity to sample his cuisine over and over again....these are the perks of ship life that are the ones I really...savor. Pun intended.

The Norwegian Fjords

North Cape. Where the sun don’t set. 

We passed the northernmost part of the world last week and the sun never set for almost a week. Most people thought is was quite beautiful, but it kinda freaked me out. I felt like I was on another planet Janet.

I took an excursion in Geiranger Norway that took me up dozens of hairpin turns to a glacier and two beautiful vistas. Cliffs, waterfalls, snow capped mountains. Just breathtaking! Back on the ship we passed the Seven Sisters waterfall.
