Wow, I stand corrected on the cotton candy question. I must go back to Italy and conduct some extensive research.

Thanks, Paul! I’m just excited for our upcoming cruise and feel like I’m getting a sneak peek! We are actually in 223, the starboard corner. The rooms sound great.
I am enjoying your blog, thanks for posting.

Thanks!

I’m going to go with “on the cutting edge.” Somehow that just makes me feel better knowing there is order in the universe!

“Did you know Cotton candy was actually a popular trend in Italy that began in the 1400’s. The old fashioned way of making cotton candy – or spun sugar as it was called – was to melt sugar in a pan and then use a fork to make strings of sugar over an upside down bowl. The sugar would then dry in strings and be served as a dessert.”

HAL is evidently on the cutting edge of authentic Italian cuisine…

Howdy my friends.

First, the comment link on Day #2 seems to be kaput… (that’s international for broke/not working.)

Second, Cotton candy… Italian. I think not, it sounds like a HAL gimmick to me. I have never seen cotton candy in Italy. (Maybe I went to the wrong places, eh?)

Keep the good posts coming – enjoying every one of them
