thank you, shockem!any seconds. woo—hoo! and if all that activity builds up your appetite, then there's 22 restaurants, cafes and bars on board, some of them open around the clock. all operated under the watchful eye of gary thomas. i guess you have to provide a really wide array of food to people who will have very different tastes? absolutely, of course, and that is where my knowledge comes in, we do have fixed restaurants, we have mexican themed, seafood themed restaurants. everything i do is about the guest demographics, and i have all this information prior to the voyages, so i can adjust a lot of what we do based on the guests that we carry. what are some of the challenges you face when you are out at sea? if you run out of food at sea, there is no running down the road. you have to get it right all the time. i have to order up my food, so if i miss a particular item, a popular item, i go from the most popular man on the ship to very quickly the most unpopular. that is all we have time for on this
