it was a very gloomy, rainy day when we arrived in Juneau. At times it absolutely poured. My mission that day was to find the Alaskan Fudge Co. I had read about here on CC and some people raved about the fudge and the huckleberry truffles..so, a food mission! Late in the afternoon it looked like the rain had let up so I made a quick dash to find the store after looking up the directions. It was close by and easy to find.

I think the missing meal name in post #88 was arctic char.

On Orange Party night there were Dutch dishes on the menu. We both had pea soup, which was good. One appetizer was herring, the other another kind of seafood cocktail,(not as good as the first one I had), and we both had the Special- Lemon Pesto Fettucine. Nicely cooked, could have had a touch more lemon. There were mini-bossche bols on the dessert menu.

Yes, but it is only open for lunch on sea days. $15 plus gratuity. A nice little getaway! Some items have a surcharge, like the lobster roll.

The first of 2 Pinnacle lunches: the soup which we love, had it on both visits, the hint of lemongrass is so nice; the spinach and arugula salad, very good, I enjoyed the lobster roll and frites; DH liked the cod burger but found the bun was the wrong type for all of the "squishy" stuff inside; and my strawberry pavlova was yummy both times..

Of the dishes so far, my favourites were the Alaska crab seafood cocktail (also contained scallops and shrimp and a tasty sauce), crab and artichoke dip, all of the soups (consistently good this cruise), the salmon with amber beer sauce (ask for more sauce!), and the mango mousse. I missed not having my favourite HAL dessert, the English toffee and date pudding, but I guess it is only on longer itineraries.

Thanks for the photo, Fairgarth - illustrates the need perfectly! I may not be the most glamorous travel reviewer, but I try to go for the practical!!

The veal was a chop, not a cutlet. Slip of my typing fingers!

Great running review..... was the coffee at Explorations cafe good ?
Yes, Mike very good coffees, lattes etc and service. One barista told me she was hoping to get the 1873 Rotterdam beans up there for the drip coffee, too, which should have been there all along in my opinion!! If you're in a forward-located cabin this is the place to routinely go.

Orange continued: French Onion Soup; Smoked Salmon Trio (DH loved it); Veal Cutlet very nice); Crab Fettucine (the Special, pretty good); the world's worst plating of dessert called Mango Mousse Terrine- it was very tasty though; Baked Alaska; and a breakfast dish called Hearty Ham & Cheese Skillet- usually this is really good, but they forgot the ham!!!

The Jambalaya looks good! Did you like it?

Yes it was tasty but I didn't really like the texture of the rice; too firm.

Koningsdam Inside Passage review: June 24-July 1, 2023
in Holland America Line
Posted
I got some truffles, and a couple of fudge slabs- one of them was called "inside Passage", very apt, and it had a tunnel of peanut butter in chocolate fudge.
