While my previous flight was operated by Fiji Airways' one A330-300, this flight was operated by one of the airlines' three A330-200 aircraft. The business class cabin on both planes is identical, though the one difference is that on the -300 there's an economy cabin immediately behind business class, while on the -200 the entire…

Why were you served the chicken as a starter when it's listed on the menu as a main? In fact, what you were served looks a bit like the listed starter: wahoo mousse, are you sure that's not what it was? That might explain why the texture was a bit odd if you were expecting chicken.
Lucky, your comment about Customs & Border Protection reminded me of a question for you: given that you have Global Entry, on flights to the U.S., what do you generally do with the landing form? When I first got Global Entry, I used to refuse the form, but I soon gave up as I found that confused many flight attendants, particularly on foreign carriers.
I'd be upset about giving up a bulkhead seat to go and sit in the middle of a family group. If a couple can't spend 10 hours apart on a flight, they have serious issues...
What everyone said regarding the appetizer...it being a fish dish may have contributed to the strange texture and taste...

That was very considerate and kind of you to change seats in order that the couple may sit together for the 10 hour flight. I think a couple would have "serious issues" if they didn't desire to sit together for a 10 hour flight . . . Susan. Some of us forget that flights like this may be a "once in a lifetime" trip for a couple. If this was the case, you made their day/trip Ben. If not the case, then you certainly made it a more memorable island experience.
Having said that, it's hard for me to understand why groups think that it's OK to converse and pass items throughout the airplane. It's Business Class folks, not Family Picnic Area. People pay extra for not only the upgraded service and space but also for the peace and quiet. I'm guessing that since there was no further mention by Ben, the "family" exercised "restaurant behavior" (something many passengers and parents have disregarded) and settled down.

Re the flight maps - last time I looked Christmas Island was in the Indian Ocean near Indonesia- lol.
Do Fiji air know something we don’t?
Kiritimati in Kiribati is also referred to as Christmas Island. And since Fiji is a neighbour, I guess they call it what their neighbour wants it called.
