Robes? Galley tour? About This Page:

[JenaK]

No, I'm not asking whether it's okay to wear robes on the galley tour!

I've got two qustions about our upcoming 7-night Western:

1. Are robes provided? (We're Cat. 5, if that matters.)

2. On the latest, new-style Navigators, I don't see any mention of the galley tour. Do any of you recent cruisers know whether it's still being done?

Thanks to all!

No robes for Category 5, from my experience.

Now those that stay in the Suites, that may be a different story and I suspect when Crystal gets back, we will know more. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I read on another thread that they didn't do the galley tour on a recent Western due to virus fears, perhaps.

We did the galley tour and it was a waste. We and other folks gave it bad ratings on our feedback sheet, so maybe they gave it the ax. They took like 20 people but the way the kitchen is laid out, we were snaked around and only the first 4 or so people could hear the tour guide. Even then, no food was being made - he was basically showing big fridges and soda machines. If you've ever worked in a restaurant - zzzzzzz.

We are doing the Galley tour at 3pm today - I'll let you know if it is good or not. We needed to get tickets on the 1st day for it.

Thanks, everybody! And Crystal, I can't wait to read your comments!

How do you go about getting tickets for this? Is this tour available on the 4 nite? It is something that would interest me, if so.
Thanks for any info.

It is free - you just have to sign up onboard at Guest Services.

The galley tour was ok - not tops on my list. It was interesting to see how it was all laid out. We had no problems hearing what was said and there was no one actually working when we went thru. I'd say if there is something else going on at the same time that you want to do - skip it.

I ehjoyed the galley tour last week. Crystal were you in the first or second group? I was in the second group and really was impressed with more of what I was told than with what I saw.

We went with the second tour. Most of what was said I had heard before on Behind the scene shows for cruiselines on the travel channel.

okay I was the one that was talking to Vinnie about cooking grits. BTW I think our room was below your palace.

Galley tours are still being held they require reservations that you have to make onboard the ship my mom went to it on thursday and had a great time!

no robes in the Category 6 we had but you could buy them at Treasure Ketch.

Thanks, everybody, for all your help! I think we'll try the galley tour unless it conflicts with the Palo tea. We're going to try for reservations for the tea when we get on the ship. They're not available on-line for first-timers like us!
