you don't mention which ship you were on! the older and smaller ships do have heaters at E&O...The Ovation just got heaters in early July

I thought I would chime in on the Earth & Ocean heater debate. I sailed on the Ovation June 10-25 Copenhagen to Copenhagen. We ate at E & O the very first night and as we had just sailed from Copenhagen so the weather was beautiful and perfect for dining outside so I never even thought about heaters. But obviously the farther up the Norwegian Coast we sailed the colder it got. We went to E&O one night as we were sure there were heaters but were told by the Maitre'D and waiters that unfortunately there were no heaters on deck 9. We tried to bundle up for the dinner but it was just too cold so we bailed and went to The Restaurant. Even at several lunches around the pool we were cold and the waiters commiserated with us that even they were often miserable without heaters. I even now just checked with 2 people we met on the cruise who confirmed no heaters! So I am amazed that others did experience heaters! Perhaps they were installed after our cruise? Why would staff lie to us that there were no heaters?? We all must admit though that this is a ridiculous first world problem and debate but it is 100 degrees in Portland right now and I need a diversion.
