Another clear day at sea.

Helen was falling asleep. She was actually asleep when the orcas showed up, and she woke up to people's exclamations.

That night featured "Le Grand Buffet," a luxurious midnight buffet decorated by many ice sculptures and vegetable carvings. The first half hour was for viewing only so people could take pictures before the elegant food displays were devoured.

Everything on the "GTS Infinity" sign was fruit and vegetable carvings.

Sumptuous displays of food. We were too full to be drooling though.

A close look at the ice sculptures.

Lots of wines too.

A shot of the stairs in the two-deck dining room.

Another fish sculpture and some very impressive vegetable carvings of birds and flowers.

No buffet is complete without dessert. Helen thought the chocolate mice (dispersed on the tablecloth) were very cute.
