Howasaur Posted July 29, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2013 We just completed a 19 day Alaskan Tour Cruise. We made a decision to not carry around a suit for 12 days. Because we were under the mistaken idea that the food serviced in both the Lido and Dining room were the same with the exception of the service. On formal nights Surf and Turf was serviced in Dining room and not the Lido, Also the large Shrimp coktails were served in the dining room and not the Lido. on formal nights. Next time I'll take a jacket at least. Its my fault but I thought I should mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Something for future reference, I recently learned you can order room service from the MDR menu) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the Lido isn't exactly the same menu, you can order anything from the dining room menu(the current night) to be delivered to your stateroom including the surf and turf.

Krazy Kruizers Posted July 29, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Glad you had a wonderful land tour and cruise. We did the same thing years ago and I always recommend that people take the land tour first and then rest up on the ship. Quite a few people have reported here that on formal nights they were not able to get lobster in the Lido. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilvertoGold Posted July 29, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Things have changed (does this sound familiar?) in the Lido. A lot of the offerings for dinner are quite different now from what is being served in the MDR. We used to take a run through the Lido before dinner just to see what the MDR menu items look like. Helped us decide what to order. This doesn't work too well now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon1 Posted July 29, 2013 #8 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Go the MDR next time. The dress code is rarely enforced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howasaur Posted August 2, 2013 Author #9 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Sorry about the delay it was Olivia Putnam she was fantastic was available 24 hours a day. and took the time to know each person on the land tour Part. Our driver Jim was also the best. Anything that was important she underlined in Yellow felt and also told us which restaurant were good to go to either for Fast food service or sitdown. We tried a halibut pizza in Denali and it was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
