In this video, Betty returns to bettyskitchen after a 2-week hiatus. Betty and her husband, Rick, spent 10 days cruising the Caribbean, resting and relaxing, and enjoying cruise activities. This video shows a variety of foods and activities enjoyed on the Noordam ship of the Holland American Line. Sailing out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, we visited Half-Moon Cay, St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, Dominica, Curacao, and Aruba. We had a wonderful time, and the food was excellent! It was a nice break to have my food prepared for me! To answer your obvious questions–I gained 1 pound, and Rick gained 4 pounds, but we will easily take the weight off, now that we are not eating such rich food for every meal (and between meals)! Thanks for all the wonderful comments you left me, after I announced that I was taking a break! It is great to be back, and I hope to have a recipe ready to upload tomorrow! I have several Christmas treats planned! –Betty

Wow! How do you guys keep so trim and fit looking with all that lovely food? …..Betty, tell us your secret to being such a wonderful cook AND still managing to keep so slim and fit….
I haven’t done a cruise yet…you recommend?? Aruba was the best spot I have been to, Bahamas are nice and Tobago is good as well…
Yes, I’ve been on about 15 cruises, and I highly recommend them! It’s a great way to see various places in the world, do some of the local things, eat wonderful food, and be entertained by shows every night! (I *love* Aruba, too!)

We enjoyed the Holland America from Vancouver to Alaska.We tried to walk a mile each day as was eating but not a whole lot.
@ChilliePepper63 Its called nice thin genes.Sigh.
Thanks for sharing!!! It looks like a wonderful time.
I like the music that is playing with your slide show. What group is it?
The three songs are: “Here Comes the Sun” by George Harrison, “Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley, and “Sailing” by Christopher Cross. Thanks for your question!

Thanks! I appreciate your comment!

This was the first time we had tried Holland America. We’ve not done an Alaskan crusise yet–It sounds like fun!
–Betty
I highly recomend the helicopter tour to a glacier where you get out and walk on it.We did that one early May a few years ago.We had to fly to Vancouver,BC for the start of the cruise.
That sounds wonderful! I can’t wait until my next cruise!
–Betty
Very nice cruise! I sailed the Noordam too a few years back. I love your cooking!
Nice music Betty.
