Thanks! One of the lesser visited places, so I was determined to see it. Just a hard working bunch of friendly people in a tiny town.

Today is rain and fog and rolling sea. Hopefully it clears up to see Hubbard Glacier this afternoon!

Enjoying reading your review. Will be on Noordam July 6th. Thought I had read it had recently undergone some renovations but it doesn’t sound like it. How is the entertainment? Actual room for people to sit at music walk?

I think some things must have been done, the carpeting in common areas looks fresh and new. But not in the staterooms where it is quite worn. Most noticeable is the brass trim/ door jambs. Public restroom brass is rusted out by the floors, elevator brass edging is worn and often scratched. Some furniture looks new- eg specialty restaurants. Many restroom doors have shifted and scrape the floors. Rolling Stone and Billboard have lots of seating but they do get full. We like the Ocean Bar music and can always find a seat.

Arrived at Hubbard Glacier.

We stayed at Hubbard quite a while, and the Captain got us closer. Weather co-operated today!

Had dinner alone in MDR, DH not feeling great today. It was Gala menu again. Had shri

 

mp cocktail and escargot for starters.

 

[QuattroRomeo]

Entree was oxtail with rotelle pasta, and a bit of the cauliflower steak since I wanted to try a taste. The oxtail was delicious! Then another try with creme brulee. Another fail with that unfortunately.

Today is Glacier Bay again, this time with pouring rain! It is a zoo in the Lido and the coffee bars right now. I guess everyone is staying inside..

I am happy to say that it has turned sunny and even warm, the views are magnificent.

Dinner in MDR tonight.

 

[QuattroRomeo]

We had onion soup and Gold Rush soup, both good. Also seafood devilled eggs, tiny bit of seafood but a nice bite. DH had the crab cake- good size with lots of crab. DH had the excellent cod, and I got the stroganoff. Tasty but meat was a bit dry. Dessert pavlova was very nice.
