zqtchas Posted May 28, 2023 Author #101 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) Tonight we had a nice surprise. We have been complaining about the faulty pistachio ice cream and tonight was surprised with the restored original pistachio recipe taste. Even the Perrier water has been replenished. Life is good! Even the food and service was wonderful. Unfortunately the weather has not gone along with the program. The restaurant manager Bhorat Sharma has been spectacular in taking care of our needs. Also I might add we have finally seen others on board older than us. As much as we complain about SS it seems in the end they really have treeted us pretty good over the years. Edited May 28, 2023 by zqtchas PS: Although I must add it did take a bit of nagging on my part. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you find out what was the secret missing ingredient in the Pistachio ice cream? And why it was so hard to replenish? [Pistachio is one of my favorites, so I hope they will still be making it properly when we're on in January.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much going on to think fast enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zqtchas Posted May 30, 2023 Author #109 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Our restaurant manger was always good at enforcing the dress code. This voyage has had a lot of experienced staff come on board. Many of them we have met from before. The HD had his assignment changed to this ship with just 3 days notice. Will have to leave the ship at 7:30AM to catch the train to the Anchorage convention center for holding.Then catch a shuttle bus for a 15 minute ride to the airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zqtchas Posted June 4, 2023 Author #114 Share Posted June 4, 2023 At the last dinner there were quite a few wait staff etc stopping by and lingering to say bye. They didn't seem to be previous SS experienced personnel . It seemed they were not aware that this was a no tipping cruise. Even the wine sommelier, who had nothing to do with us the whole time, was chatty. So we took the 4:30hr train ride to Anchorage. cont. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
