FOOD continued. We had good coffees for the rest of the cruise from the Explorations Cafe and Dutch Cafe. Great service at both places. They remembered us and knew what we wanted. Explorations, being a more confined space, had miniature croissants, biscotti, and sometimes brownies. Grand Dutch cafe had a few sandwiches, pea soup, full-size croissants, muffins, cookies, cream puffs and terrific apple pie- not too sweet. There was no charge for the food at either venue. Almond milk and soy milk were available, although Grand Dutch ran out of soy on the last day. Both cafes had stevia available (in small glass shakers). Both had Tazo Teas. And for you tea drinkers out there, MDR had PGTips and Lido had Bigelow.

local colour of a different sort!..

Ketchikan Some local colours.

Last week on Koningsdam masks were required when getting on or off the ship. Otherwise, just recommended.

EW you are absolutely right about the battery! I can't imagine that ours was the first to fail on the ship and pose such an inhospitable response..A warning light would help! We had fond memories of the MDR; we also liked a nice leisurely breakfast in such an elegant room years ago. It was also fun to try things you wouldn't normally have at home! (I remember caviar as a dinner appetizer, but that sure dates us). The room is still beautiful, but unfortunately the food we had wasn't very good. Maybe it will improve as time goes on. But we do like the variety of restaurants that have evolved.

We all gasped when we got out of the bus for these vistas:

Our bus, and the guide is speaking.
