American Cruise Lines - Day 10 - Hilton Head, S.C. (Part 3)

Caesar salad starts off tonight's dinner meal and the anchovies were back in full force. Again it was funny to see the different amounts of anchovies on other people's salads. Maybe there's my picture in the galley with a notation - "this gal seems fishy."

I also wanted to try the BBQ Braised Pork Belly with Caramelized Onions and Spring Greens. We've tried various versions of pork belly on other cruises and haven't really found one that was good. This one unfortunately followed suit.

One of the things I'm squeamish about is undercooked meat. Even mentally knowing it's supposed to look that red even though it's cooked doesn't help. More power to the people who order meat so rare it's still mooing but no thanks for me. When we both ordered the Prime Rib as our entrée tonight, we both asked for it to be cooked medium well. Dad's plate came out looking like it should for medium well. My plate however, looked like the "before" picture:

That's horseradish in the little cup but someone didn't believe me that it wasn't sour cream and doused his baked potato with it. A little disappointing in general that aside from the butter always on the table for the rolls, there was no sour cream or fixings for the baked potato. I'm guessing that shiny stuff on the brown outside strip of my meat was the artist formally known as Au Jus. 

And for all you Carnival chocolate melting cake lovers - here is ACL's version known as the Chocolate Bomb. It's hard to tell in this picture but the center is the consistency of chocolate syrup.

We decided to skip the scheduled entertainment of Jazz pianist David Duckworth and headed back to our cabin to relax. While Dad watched TV, I stepped out on our balcony to watch the sunset sail away from Hilton Head and our arrival into Savannah, Georgia a mere three hours later.

I'm not sure what this little boat was that seemed to be parting the sea for us to follow but the large line in the water it formed created such a beautiful color contrast between the water behind and in front as well as with the setting sun.

Welcome to Savannah!
