June 21 Lunch

I was told I had to include this story in my blog so here it is. Today we had lunch in the dining room, with 6 other people that we spend a lot of time with.  I started with the salad buffet and had a big plate of various salads, they were really delicious and I was full. I decided to order the salmon sandwich because i love fish. When the server brought the sandwich it looked like a BLT, but it had little bits of fried salmon, with tomato and lettuce. This was not at all what I imagined, I already had enough to eat, so I ate some of the salmon and the tomato, then I put the bread back together. The server took my plate, noticing that the sandwich appeared not to have been touched, and asked me if i like the sandwich. I replied, it was not what I expected and was not to my taste. Since I finished lunch I excused myself and told Mark I would be on the sun deck. No sooner had i sat down when Mark arrived, i thought he was joining me, but instead he said you have to come back to the dining room now, the chef is preparing something special for you because you didn't like the sandwich.  I immediately returned to the dining room feeling rather sheepish and everyone at the table was laughing at the situation. Executive Chef Nuno appeared with a specially prepared fruit plate and apologized. I thanked him and let him know there was no need to apologize. Boy did I feel awkward but the staff are serious about making sure the guests have a good experience! That's my story.
