I've seen several people talk about their Behind the Fun tour and it seems that different ships have different areas that you get to explore. So, what areas have you seen and on what ship?

 

We did the Behind the Fun on the Freedom the end of August and these are the places that we went:

 

Muster Station (more information about this than what is given during muster drill)

Crew outside leisure area/muster stations for crew (group pic)

Men's dressing room for shows in Victoriana Lounge

Stage/behind stage

Morgue/Brig (didn't go inside)

Crew laundry & gym

I-95

Crew quarters (didn't go inside)

Medical Center (didn't go inside)

Main Laundry area

Crew training center

Crew dining rooms

Captain's table

Crew lounge

Engine Control Room

Main Galley

Captain's Quarters (didn't go inside)

Bridge (Group and individual pics taken)

Steakhouse

 

All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to doing it again on other ships.

I did the tour on the Breeze. We did everything you listed, except we met with the Dance Captain in the Women's Dressing Room and did not see the crew gym. We spent time in several cold storage rooms and had a final Q & A with champagne in one of the MDR. It was excellent, and I hope to do the tour again.

Just did it Wednesday on the Sensation we did:

Main Galley

I95

Crew training room

Crew Bar

Crew outside deck area/Smoking area

Engine Control room

Bridge with picture

Backstage Mens dressing room

Storage rooms for beer, soda, frozen and fresh food, produce prep area

Main Laundry

Environmental room, Trash and Recycling

It was a great tour however it was rushed and we didn't have any time to ask questions of the department heads that explained their departments.

In addition to what has been said when we did the tour on the Splendor and the Spirit we went to the back room where the photographers work. I found both tours to be fascinating and on both we had time for questions at all stops. Took 3 1/2 + kours.

Fasciantion-the bridge, met the captain, got to ask the crew-what they were seeing, and how they worked the ship based on the seas- and the laundry room! OMG! What a machine! Reminded me of a Steven King story. If you haven't done a Behind the Fun tour, and you have cruised more than one time-just DO IT! Oh, and in the kitchen you will understand any comments made by the crew regarding the american consumption of ketchup.

We just did the Dream Behind the Fun tour in August, I'm copying your list, cause we did most of it:

 

 

Men's dressing room for shows in main Lounge

Stage/behind stage

Morgue/Brig (didn't go inside)

Crew laundry & gym

Meat storage and a cold storage room (sodas and beers)

I-95

Medical Center (didn't go inside)

Main Laundry area

Crew dining rooms and galley

Crew lounge

Human Resources

Engine Control Room

Main Galley (had chocolate covered strawberries and had a group pic taken)

Bridge (Group and individual pics taken)

Steakhouse (had champagne, a goody bag and given carved soap)

 

We thought it was by far, one of the most interesting things we've ever done. I'd highly recommend it.

 

Does anyone know if it's cheaper on the Triumph? We are going in November and I'd love to take my mom and daughter on it (it was just hubby and I that did the tour in August).
