PHOTOS -Behind the scenes!

Nice photos. The ovens appear to be the pie ovens in the bakery, correct? In the main galley they will have ovens where you open the door, and roll one of those carts that you see in that photo, loaded with chickens or what have you on roasting trays, right in and cook them on that cart. There is no bottom to the oven, so the cart can roll in and out. They are also steam and convection ovens, so you can cook about 20 turkeys in a couple of hours. Real nice units, but when they break, they're a pain to fix.

Thank you. Yes the picture is of the bakery and the did have the the other ovens you mentioned. They told us the bakery made every bread on board except rye bread.

I can only guess that they just didn't want to stock rye flour as well!

 

The bakery has many gadgets that I never dreamed of before I had to work on maintaining and repairing them.

 

Proofing cabinet: provides heat and humidity to allow bread to rise (whole racks)

 

Baguette roller: yep, you put dough in, and it measures and rolls out a loaf of french bread.

 

Dough roller: you put in a lump of dough, it divides it into 39 portions, and rolls them into balls for dinner rolls

 

Tart presses: presses dough into tart shells

 

Even a butter portioner: you put a 5 lb block of butter in it, and hot wires cut it into those cute little pats that go on paper doilies in the MDR.

 

Don't get me started on veg prep, soup station, or even the main laundry for gadgets that maritime college and 30+ years at sea never trained me for!

A garbage scow pulled up alongside the Island Princess - it was interesting to see what was being thrown out.

And in a different area of the ship, the bicycle storage:

If I remember correctly, clean dishes in the kitchen waiting for food to be put into them for us.....or else dirty dishes!

Maybe it's just me - but I don't see any photos .... ??

Interesting - I see them, they are hosted on my web server at home. Maybe outside people can't see them - I checked the permissions and the firewalls and all that looks okay.

 

Let me try something else - can you tell me what it is you do see?

Thank you so much! Okay, I'll post pictures -

I've been away for a while, so I have a lot of CC catching up to do!

I'm seeing them just fine -every one of them,

including(funnily) the replies saying that they're not-visible.

 

I'm using Win.7 Ultimate

but a lot of ppl are still madly clinging to XP. :D

I'm running Windows 8 and have tried both Firefox and IE10

 

It will tell me "Connecting to www.websailor.org" for a while and then just stops without any result :(
