JusttheTwoofUs Posted October 19, 2017 #176 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Does anyone have any advice on the Michelin * Restaurants? We are meeting friends in Cologne but could go to any of the others. Any recommendations? Ronny1 we went to Buerehiesel in Strasbourg two nights ago. Not impressed. Poor service, tepid food, only two wines served with a four course meal, and very stingy with the wine, at that. Because of shipboard credits we are going to Bel Etage in Basel this evening, will report later. Hopefully, this one will come closer to our expectations of Michelin quality food and service. The food on the ship is much better than we experienced at the Michelin restaurant. And the service is much better and friendlier. Phyllis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronny1 Posted October 19, 2017 #177 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Thank you Phyllis! We haven't heard too many good things about the Michelin restaurants yet. Looking forward to hearing about your experience in Basel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyQuinn Posted October 19, 2017 #178 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Mighty Quinn, I don't think I ever responded to your question. The hairdryers are similar to Symphony. The one on the bathroom wall reads 1200 watts and is not very powerful, although it is sufficient for my shorter hair. There is another portable dryer (I can't read the wattage) that I believe is more powerful stored in the closet. If both the hairdryers on the ocean ships were insufficient for you, I think you will find the same situation on the Bach. Phyllis Many thanks for checking on this Phyllis. Looks like I'll pack my own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare gnome12 Posted October 19, 2017 #179 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Many thanks for checking on this Phyllis. Looks like I'll pack my own! Unless yours is dual voltage it will not work well (or at all) with a converter because it is a high wattage appliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My travel dryer is 110/220 V with 1875 W. Hopefully it will work OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare gnome12 Posted October 20, 2017 #181 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thanks gnome! My travel dryer is 110/220 V with 1875 W. Hopefully it will work OK.Should be OK. Just make sure that you plug it in directly, and not with other items or you might blow a circuit.

Phyllis Thanks to the posters on this thread who provided so much information. We're just considering a summer cruise on the Bach, our only concern is that the petite suites are just a little bit too small (we're a bit spoiled after years cruising in the 300 sqft suites of Silversea and Seabourn) and wondered if, if we do this, we should find the extra to move up to a larger category. It's 2 weeks .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 2 weeks .. Rols, we were in the smallest suite, and it IS quite small, especially the bathroom, although the shower is very nice. I hope you have looked at the pictures I posted earlier in this thread. We have almost exclusively sailed in the E and C staterooms on the Crystal ocean ships, which we're fine with, but the riverboats are smaller yet. Mostly it was lack of closet space and the small bathroom that caused us problems. If you are used to much larger suites on previous cruises, you might want to think very seriously of upgrading to a larger room. Phyllis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
