Sunday – March 11, 2018
We attended presentation on the shore excursions that would be available between Singapore and Cape Town. Then we attend a cooking demonstration by Master Chef Rudi Sodamin. He heads HAL’s culinary program. He creates the dishes, suggests restaurant formats and overseas the entire culinary operation. He prepared a beautiful salad with seared tuna and a soufflé. He shared his joy of cooking and gave us some insights into how things work on the food side.

This was the third time we attended Sunday brunch. On Sundays at sea the dining room provides a brunch consisting of 6 sample-sized portions of a cold course, and a hot course with 3 of a dessert course. Each one we have attended has been different. All have been excellent. This sounds like a lot of food, but the portions are only a few bights. This is very satisfying.

We visited Shore Excursions before lunch to purchase excursions for upcoming ports. We learned that we would receive a credit for a portion of our unused tour. While this is not a full recovery, it is appreciated because it shows the good faith of the excursion office.
