Galley Tour?

[isyer1]

I am into Cooking and would love to Visit the Galley? Is this even possible? Any experiences?

There is usually a galley tour on each cruise. You will watch a cooking demo in one of the showrooms then file down to the galley afterwards.

As previously posted, you will see a cooking demo followed by a very quick, rushed run through the galley. You really won't get to see very much as it is done during a time when nothing is going on.

You should contact the Hotel Manager, F&B Director, or Exec Chef through the Front desk. They can arrange an in-depth tour for you.

We had our friend, who is a master chef, with us this past summer and we did a very in-depth tour of the galley. He had served on board an aircraft carrier in Vietnam as a master petty office in the kitchen and was amazed at the differences and similarities that existed between troop ships and luxury liners. They really treated him well.

 

We have also had our own private tour simply by befriending the Food and Beverage Director. His tour was fabulous - maybe he just was having a quiet cruise or something, but he really took the time to explain and answer all of our questions.

 

Remember, unless you ask, the answer is always no.

Last Christmas on the Sun Princess, they did not give a galley tour. Our cruise was one of the ones affected by the norovirus.

When we were on the Golden P. in '05, we went to the demo and Galley tour. We actually met the Executive Chef and Executive Sous Chef on deck just before sail away. Now I'm a Chef so seeing any kitchen is great. It was funny, we were meandering through the galley and the tour guide was too far ahead so I started telling people around me what this was and that, ie Tilt Skillets, Alto Shams(sp). We were having prime rib that night and could smell them cooking. I love all the stainless steel, including the ceiling.

BTW, this thread will probably be moved to Cruise Foodies. In Feb. next year if they have one on the Crown, it's a safe bet that I'll be there.
