Food Afloat

     

     A portion of my awesome Alaska adventure was on a cruise ship.  It stretches the imagination to consider the vast amounts of food prepared and served to the 1848 passengers and 812 crew.  The ship is a floating restaurant.  Or rather I should say, a series of restaurants and eating venues.  The options are almost endless.



     To begin with, there is the 2 level main dining room, Vista.  There you can either make a standard reservation for a meal on the upper level or stop by as your schedule permits and dine "freestyle" at a table on the lower level.  A more casual meal is available 3 times a day at the Lido, a cafeteria style buffet.  There is also a coffee shop, The Explorations Cafe, located by the Internet desks and the library. Off to one side carved out of a corner of the Lido is the Canaletto, an Italian bistro.  For a more upscale lunch or dinner the Pinnacle Grill seats 144 diners reservation only.



     And if none of that suits your fancy there are 2 private lounges, an outdoor grill serving burgers, fries, and do-it-yourself tacos, as well as gratis 24 hour room service.



     It's no wonder I came home with more than I left with!  And by that I'm not referring to souvenirs!
