This is the dinner menu from Waterside.

We dined at Umi Uma the Japanese Specialty Restaurant based on Nobu Cuisine.

We were joined for dinner with the ships medical doctor, Dr. Soto. We last saw Dr. Soto on Serenity for the December 2023 Holiday Cruise, sailed with him last summer and our last Umi Uma dinner together was on Crystal Endeavor in 2021

Umi Uma Dinner menu follows.

This is today's daily Reflections Program.

Today, Crystal Symphony arrived in Greenock, Scotland. We like to space out tours and with one tour this cruise and three the next cruise plus one the post cruise we didn’t select one of the tours to Glasgow or to Edinburgh due to length of the tours and the driving times involved which is close about one hour and thirty minutes and three and one-half hours respectively to and from each city. In addition, Anne Marie’s late sister lived in Scotland for many years, and we had the opportunity to visit with her in Glasgow and in Edinburgh several times when she lived in each of these cities.

Instead, we visited Greenock. Greenock has a population just under 50,000 residents. For many years, Greenock was known for shipbuilding, for its large harbor in addition to fishing. Today, it is known for tourism, and for its art and its museums and for those visiting as a gateway to Glasgow and Edinburgh.
