Canaletto, shrimp daily special, lamb chops with chanterelles.

Specialty Restaurants Canaletto- We ate supper here four times, and found that they have a good variety of dishes. The langoustine soup and minestrone soup were both very good, as were the antipasto and carpaccio. Osso bucco is DH's favourite and didn't disappoint- it is the daily special on Mondays. I tried the branzino, spaghetti alle vongole, shrimp daily special and osso bucco and enjoyed them all. DH had the lamb chops and found them a bit tough. (He encountered even tougher ones in Tamarind later, so maybe the the supply wasn't that great). He found the veal scallopine better. Desserts we tried were all good, but the favourite had to be the Sicilian marzipan cassata torte. Different and not too sweet. Affogato was very tasty, but small. The trio of gelato was also good. We were recognized by staff as repeat customers and developed a good rapport with the staff. Much to our surprise they didn't charge us for the third visit and thanked us for coming. We of course booked another night, and were able to get the Osso Bucco again, even though it wasn't the right day for that special. Great meal again.

We ate most breakfasts at Lido. Could always find a seat, and the attendants were friendly. Usually grabbed some fruit and had some bacon and eggs from the station that makes eggs to order. I like that most things are served to you rather than self serve, although it sometimes means moving from station to station and waiting in a different line each time. We had a couple of dinners here too, one was pretty good, another was bland. Staff were always good and a couple of them were very good. Our go-to place for lunch turned out to be New York Deli. It is a bit out of the way but worth finding. Loved the reuben sandwiches, salads and Central Park pizza. I asked about the breakfast sandwiches that were on the menu, and was told that since the startup, breakfast was not made there, except for on the Rotterdam. We enjoyed some conversation with good staff here.

Thanks Nancy! We definitely lucked out on the weather.

I think you're right about the Lido. We didn't really take Club Orange into consideration; have to check into it!🍊

Grand Dutch Cafe. Midship Deck 3.

Grand Dutch Cafe

FOOD continued. We had good coffees for the rest of the cruise from the Explorations Cafe and Dutch Cafe. Great service at both places. They remembered us and knew what we wanted. Explorations, being a more confined space, had miniature croissants, biscotti, and sometimes brownies. Grand Dutch cafe had a few sandwiches, pea soup, full-size croissants, muffins, cookies, cream puffs and terrific apple pie- not too sweet. There was no charge for the food at either venue. Almond milk and soy milk were available, although Grand Dutch ran out of soy on the last day. Both cafes had stevia available (in small glass shakers). Both had Tazo Teas. And for you tea drinkers out there, MDR had PGTips and Lido had Bigelow.

local colour of a different sort!..

Ketchikan Some local colours.

Last week on Koningsdam masks were required when getting on or off the ship. Otherwise, just recommended.

EW you are absolutely right about the battery! I can't imagine that ours was the first to fail on the ship and pose such an inhospitable response..A warning light would help! We had fond memories of the MDR; we also liked a nice leisurely breakfast in such an elegant room years ago. It was also fun to try things you wouldn't normally have at home! (I remember caviar as a dinner appetizer, but that sure dates us). The room is still beautiful, but unfortunately the food we had wasn't very good. Maybe it will improve as time goes on. But we do like the variety of restaurants that have evolved.
