Something stirring in the Kitchen

Would you like to cook with Marco Pierre White, have your picture taken with him, buy a copy of his latest book and get it autographed? All for the princely sum of £80, for two hours with the great man, three Masterclass sessions available during the cruise, the book costs extra, limited to 30 places per class. £7, 200 for 6 hours work, book sales not included, that's not a bad gig if you can get it. Just shows the power of the celebrity chef, don't get me wrong it will be a dream come true for some people a chance to meet, interact be taught by someone you admire. Not sure about Marco but if it had been James Martin or Gary Rhodes the first name on the list would of been my wife Barbs. On cruises now they are very often themed to tap into niche markets, there is a Strictly Come Dancing cruise a couple of times a year, hosted by Craig Revell Horwood and several of the dancers from the shows. Also Classic FM at sea cruises for the classical music buff, besides concerts they call into famous locations, such as Chopin 's house in Majorca. Then I started to think about other themed cruises we might like to see, the Pirates at sea cruise where you rape and pillage at every port you go to and have random cabin numbers drawn to walk the plank. A vote for least popular passengers who are then cast adrift in a life boat. Voyages of Discovery, looking for El Dorado, The fountain of eternal youth, Unicorns and the Phoenix and the end of the DFS sale. The Weight Watchers diet cruise involves a ship without an engine and very long oars, subsistence rations and water no shore leave price you pay for your cruise depends on weight loss. Come to think about it that all sounds like too much to do and think about, time to sit back sip a latte and watch the ocean slip by. Cheers.
