Or – I’m On a Boat Again!
After being on the Odyssey for dinner last Friday, I was very lucky to be onboard again on Sunday, but this time for a brunch cruise. I was picked as one of fifteen Boston Brunchers to enjoy the brunch buffet. We were allowed to bring a guest and since my mom is visiting me, I brought her as my date. Brunch is one of my very favorite things to do during weekends, and our brunch experience at the Odyssey was really fun.
Here’s a photo recap:
while Friday night's cruise had gray views of Boston, our view during Sunday brunch was GORGEOUS
and did I mention there was a chocolate fountain?
The Odyssey had both brunch and lunch food items, but I ate mostly the brunch foods (these skillet potatoes were consumed with bacon and eggs)
there were french toast and waffles, but I didn't get to try them
because I wanted to save room for dessert
Dessert at brunch? Don’t mind if I do. Look at that red velvet cake. Look at the bottom two layers. There is a thin chocolate ganache layer in between the cake and the icing. Genius.
we were all very happy at the cruise
we went up the deck after eating to soak up the sun and ogle the views (that's the Boston Harbor Islands)
where my mom wanted to take multiple pictures of me :p
oh look another dessert spread
oh and cheese, lots of cheese
it was really nice spending a couple of hours on the water
my mom and I had a great time!
thanks again to Boston Brunchers for hosting the fabulous brunch at the Odyssey
Do you eat dessert with brunch? Have you ever had red velvet cake with chocolate in between the layers?

love the intagram full post (or i think you might have a different app? but you know what i mean!) it was so great to meet your mom. adorable pic of you and her on the stern w/ the city in the background!
So glad your mom was able to join us too! And glad the red velvet made the cruise….and I agree….brunch is ALWAYS better
That looks like so much fun and the red velvet cake sounds incredible!
So cute you brought your mom!! Looks like an awesome weekend
Oh you’re good—I had BOTH french toast AND red velvet cake
Glad you and your mom had a great time–Adorable pics of you two!!
Hi Daisy, I have both Instagram and Hipstamatic but yup, those are all Instagram pics. As you know, it’s addicting!
Lauren – it was! I’ve never had red velvet cake with chocolate in between the layers before. Extra chocolate is always a good thing, right?
Megan, I passed on the french toast because I had um, 6 pieces of bacon. haha. So nice seeing you there!
Love your pictures! Any day that involves chocolate cake, beautiful weather and cruising the harbor is a-ok with me!
I wish I had gotten a whole piece of that red velvet cake and skipped the rest of brunch. That chocolate layer was so good!
Oh how fun! I love brunch! And boats. What a great combination. I need to scour out the Boston Brunchers! I would love to join up sometime.
Pretty sure I would gain 20 pounds on a cruise!
How fun! You and your mom look like you had a wonderful time together – with some delicious food too. Glad you were able to spend your time brunchin’ on a boat. Doesn’t get much better than that ; )
What a fun day! That’s awesome you got to spend it with your Mom. I don’t normally get dessert at brunch but whereas I’m normally a savory breakfast type person, for sone reason sweet breakfast items always sound better at brunch. P.S. That Red Velvet cake looks amazing!
I normally don’t get dessert at brunch but I totally did a few weeks ago when I was super hungover at Elephant Walk!
Gorgeous photos! This looked like such a fun morning!
Oh looks like such a fun time!
Nice post Bianca! I love the look of your photos:) It was great to meet you in person and to meet your mother, I hope to see you again soon…and may lots of chocolate be involved!
Chocolate fountain? yum! Love your instagram pictures too, I’m also obsessed!
That looks like the ultimate fun brunch! So many delicious foods and gorgeous views
Yes, I’d gladly take a huge slice of that red velvet cake!
Looks like a fun time! It’s so sweet that you brought your mom.
So it seems like brunch was better than dinner, then?
I would eat dessert at brunch if I had that red velvet cake sitting in front of me!
