Editorial Summary

The creators document their third day of a cruise on the Navigator of the Seas, which includes a visit to Catalina Island. After taking a tender boat from the ship to the port, they explore the island to revisit favorite food spots. They begin with an acai bowl from Scoops, noting the inclusion of popping pearls and fresh fruit. The pair also visits a grocery market to pick up supplies and discusses local amenities like public restrooms and ice cream shops. Their culinary tour continues at the Catalina Island Brewhouse, where they sample craft beers, soft pretzels, and a thin pepperoni flatbread pizza. After returning to the ship, they enjoy a snack of bacon cheese fries and milkshakes at Johnny Rockets. The day concludes with a formal dinner in the main dining room featuring tomato soup, Caesar salad, rack of lamb, and tiger shrimp, followed by desserts like tiramisu and apple tart. They end the evening watching a movie on the pool deck before preparing for their next destination, Ensenada, Mexico.
