OC Vettes Holiday Party The 2018 O C Vettes Holiday Party was held

on Sunday Dec 9th in the Grand Salon at the

Queen Mary. The dining room was decorated

for the holidays and featured a live band for

entertainment. Forty-six people attended the

Queen Mary Royal Brunch featuring over 50

unique dishes from around the globe. Dishes

included traditional western breakfast fare like

made-to-order omelets, pancakes, Belgian

waffles, eggs benedict and homemade hash.

There were southwestern offerings such as

Albondigas soup and carne asada tacos, and

Asian cuisine with Hot n’ Sour soup, sushi, or

Asian style ribs. There was a large salad

station featuring a chef crafted Cobb salad,

imported tuna nicoise and a variety of

domestic and imported cheeses. The highlight

of the brunch was the signature carving

station, which offered perfectly prepared prime

rib with au jus and leg of lamb with mint.


Everyone had a wonderful time and enjoyed the

delicious food items as well as all the champagne

you could drink. Members were invited to a self

tour of the ship after their meal. Many thanks to

Leo and Donna Mann for arranging the party. It

was a great way to kick off the holidays!
