For the most part, the food has been well above average. Not remotely comparable to mass market, cruise line menu. I believe the problem is more in getting Service well trained, and passengers requesting very specifically how they want their foods prepared. By that I mean, temperature, level of darkness,. I’ve been very specific and I’m for the most part. Gotten exactly what I wanted. I’m giving this cruise line time to get it act together. Specifically in the culinary department I’ve booked two additional cruises for me as an overall cruise line. it has my vote.

Going to post lots of pictures from San Francisco. It’s really beautiful and perfect weather

I will go and check it out now. I’m dressed early so I’ll let you know.

Both genders are represented

What do you mean running the show?

Bus I think. Going now. Goes every 30 minutes until 4:30 PM today into town, which is about 15 minutes away from dock

I do not. But I will inquire. There are many people on the ship my guess would be somewhere over 500. I’ll post as soon as I get the number.

A few photos of sailing into Astoria, Oregon

Day three on this journey. We are docked in Astoria Oregon, a charming city where years ago they filmed goonies plan shortly to take a ride on the shuttle into town and look around. I’m attaching photos of last nights dinner and Sakura the Asian restaurant. Food was delicious and service excellent. It didn’t hurt that the place was designed and decorated beautifully.

we ate in Fil Rouge here are some photos.
