Rare jacobtsf Posted March 27, 2021 #3 Share Posted March 27, 2021 My wife and I did this on Freedom of the Seas during a Mediterranean cruise and we had a blast. We started in the upper dining room, greeted with tables full of champagne and mimosas. After a few glasses a few important crew members, including the head chef, were introduced. These crew members gave an overview of just how much the kitchens do, and what to expect during our tour (including all of the rules). After that we broke into 2 or 3 smaller groups, and started the tour. My wife and I are foodies who both worked in the food industry when we were younger, so we loved seeing just how they were able to manage all of the food in such a relatively small space. Yes, it can be cramped, and yes, it can be hard to hear (especially since the kitchens are in full work mode getting ready for both your brunch and lunch for the rest of the ship), but we got a pretty good look at most of the areas in the galley, a chance to talk to various members of the crew, and our guide was able and willing to answer tons of questions, both about the kitchens and life living on a ship in general. After the tour we ended up in the lower dining room and got to have a lovely brunch, with more drinks, and a live musician. It was the typical quality we have come to expect from the main dining room, not super elegant, but not disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mds556 Posted October 27, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 27, 2022 @jacobtsf Just found your response in a Google search 🙂 I was wondering if you know if this tour of the galley is any different than the galley tour during the All Access Tour? We are planning to do the All Access Tour also but didn’t want to do both if they’re the same. Brunch would be nice though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been of the All Access Tour (have had it scheduled twice, but they were both cancelled), I imagine it is similar (of course without the brunch and alcohol), but someone who has done both would be able to answer your question better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
