Copenhagen, Denmark - Embark Costa Atlantica Day 1

Copenhagen is a relatively difficult city to manuever through.  Getting to port involved taking a train to particular stop and then walking about a mile dragging luggage along.


This was the on the walking path to the ship. Would we be doing this a whole lot during the cruise?


Up on board, looking out.

Costa provided the best food of all the cruises we have been on. On first cruise was with Costa. Would the food be as excellent as we remembered?


The buffet was open. The food was drab.

Below is dinner. This would be the true test. As it stood Day 1 was pretty decent from a food standpoint but not spectacular. I was anticipating the rest of the week's food after this evening.


Terrine


Risotto


Veal shank. Not particularly flavorful or as tender as I expected.


Scorpion fish

Wild boar.  This was certainly a different offering however it tasted just like any other pork.


Creme brulee. A little thick and chalky and missing that all important glazed top.
