Two of the chefs from the ship's kitchen demonstrated the art of carving fruit into decorations.

The results of carving faced the audience. The act of carving, however, faced away from the audience.

Having finished, the chefs bowed to the audience.

One of the watermelons had been carved into a representation of two fish swimming.

A second watermelon was carved to represent a swan among riverside rushes.

The third watermelon had transformed into a large lovely flower.

A pineapple, cantaloupe, eggplant, carrot and other vegetables were carved and tacked together with wooden skewers to form a rabbit playing a banjo.
