SHE’S A HIGH SEAS-ONED REVIEWER

- KRISTY MUIR

MEET the 11-year-old food critic who has grown-up chefs all at sea.

Caitlin Leece of Upper Coomera knows what she likes and speaks her mind. It is that passion for food and brutal honesty that scored her a foodie’s dream gig.

She got to taste-test and review the menu for P&O Cruises’ Pacific Explorer on-board its sister ship the Pacific Dawn at the Port of Brisbane.

The ship is undergoing a multimilli­on-dollar refurbishm­ent and Caitlin and three other children critiqued the adventure, food, design and entertainm­ent.

The daylong experience was filmed and photograph­ed which was right up Caitlin’s alley as she dreams of becoming a movie star.

“I love filming and acting, so this was a once in a lifetime experience for me,” Caitlin said. “It was great to see how a profession­al shoot works.”

Caitlin said she was selected for her love of food, cooking and eating out.

“I couldn’t choose a favourite meal – it was all so delicious,” she said of the ship’s food.

“I gave all the food a thumbs up to the chef.”
