Magnifique buffet, chefs art on a cruise

At the end of a cruise it is traditional to have a display of chefs' art followed by a buffet. Some of the creations on the CMV Magellan were really fantastic. It was just such a pity it was held at 10 pm with the buffet at 10.15 pm, as most people were full from dinner and didn't want to eat anything.
