PokrChick Posted April 13 #1 Share Posted April 13 Looks like a fun way to kill a couple hours at sea on the last day. Under "Important details and advisements" it lists "Wear closed-toe shoes." Do you think they enforce this? Wasn't planning on packing closed-toe shoes. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I've been on other galley tours and it was enforced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollon Posted April 14 #4 Share Posted April 14 has anyone done this tour, I know it's different than the "ultimate tour", what all do you get to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I'm sure it's enforced -- it's a safety rule, as you'll be in a kitchen /around possible spills. I think it requires long pants too. My daughter and I're doing this on our next cruise. She reserved it for the two of us as a surprise -- I'm excited for it! Edited April 14 by Mum2Mercury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dd and I did it recently. It was fun but too brief. I enjoyed seeing the galley and wanted to see more. Dh and I will do an all access tour soon so I can't yet compare. Brunch was a big part of it.

First thing listed under "Important details and advisements." How embarrassing!! Hopefully capris are OK Edited April 14 by PokrChick spelling is important :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldCaver Posted April 14 #8 Share Posted April 14 Required or not, I'd not go with open toed shoes. Imagine if a knife got knocked off a counter somehow and hit your toe. You'd miss your old friend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinNole Posted April 14 #9 Share Posted April 14 I'm pretty sure that the person in the 2nd photo above is wearing sandals. We've taken the tour and people have been turned away for not wearing closed toe shoes. I guess it depends on the person leading the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont remember what I wore, but most likely shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscobeans Posted April 14 #12 Share Posted April 14 A lot of food service employers require shoes that are non-slip, as well as closed toe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every galley tour I've taken I have always worn shorts and the vast majority also wore shorts. Nothing from RC stating shorts aren't allowed.

Jasukkie Posted April 14 #15 Share Posted April 14 What a great a picture is worth a thousand words example. Guess it's safe to say it depends lol. The last ship's tour I did was on Jewel and it was so long and detailed I thought we were being onboarded as employees. People started to drop off in the third hour. Others are more superficial. So yeah, it all depends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sadiwest Posted April 14 #16 Share Posted April 14 Since my other photos were so popular here are two more. One shows a participant in shorts and one is the menu. I do think it's wise to follow the terms they had in writing. Just because these folks didn't enforce it isn't a guarantee that'll happen again. I dont remember what I wore tbh, but if I do it again I'll pay better attention to the warnings/rules. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum2Mercury Posted April 16 #17 Share Posted April 16 Interesting that we have photo evidence that the rule isn't always enforced. Still, I am coming prepared with long pants and tennis shoes -- I'd be super-upset to miss out on this activity, and they'd be 100% in their rights to deny someone who comes dressed inappropriately.

I'm not suggesting but I have yet to see listed for the Galley Tours where shorts were listed as a no, no. Open toe shoes always listed as a no, no.

Yeah, the good ole' trusty website. 🙄 The call center reps would probably tell ya the same or not even agree with one another. 🤣 When I said I yet to see...I was specifically talking about the onboard (ship specific) listing.

Rare sadiwest Posted April 17 #21 Share Posted April 17 (edited) Similar but different.... dd also did sushi making and cupcake decorating, both of which advise you cannot take leftover food out of the restaurant. Both times she got containers for leftovers. I am SURE their intentions are to keep people safe, but if my dd felt compelled to scarf down 3 giant cupcakes so none would be lost, I'd be pretty annoyed. Probably more danger with leftover sushi but still.... Edited April 17 by sadiwest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
