That is also my goal, but wow is it challenging on a cruise or in a restaurant to avoid industrialized seed oils. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted November 7, 2023 #130 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Coming into SF a month ago on the Noordam - early October. Captain also opened the forward deck for the occasion to get photos. Our HoHo tour bust route (carefully crafted and narrated) covering most of the major SF landmarks surprised us - the city looked very lovely, cleaner than expected, and reminded us very much of The City we both knew growing up in the Bay Area in the 1950-60s'. Except there was something missing as well -it felt empty for some reason. The Fisherman's Wharf area easily explored from the port was lively and very accessible, even though it is no longer a working fishing boat wharf. And yes, the HoHo route does include a very brief look at some of the more unsavory parts of town, but only a very quick drive-by. But what a glorious view from our starboard side cabin balcony across Telegraph Hill and out to the Golden Gate Bridge at sunset. One can enjoy this port stop very much - with just a little extra attention and preparation. This was our early morning SF greeting: 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackduck59 Posted November 8, 2023 #133 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I'm afraid tonight's menu isn't really exciting for me. I will make the standard choices. Caesar salad or maybe the shrimp New York steak and fries (add the Brussels sprouts from the pork chop) The peach and berry crisp. I would have to look at the wine list to pair with the steak. A nice port to finish 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted November 8, 2023 Author #147 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Good morning from the MS Koningsdam. We were to have done a 6 and a half hour bus tour today that was our free cruise with HIA, we would need to get up at 6 this morning. When the alarm went off I decided to just for go it. Tom had already hinted he would want to do that yesterday. So I turned off the alarm and went back to sleep. We ended up going to the Dutch Cafe getting some coffee and a bite to eat. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BetsyS. Posted November 8, 2023 #148 Share Posted November 8, 2023 My stepfather and I were on the Niew Statendam in 2022. We liked the Dutch Cafe and there were tables by the windows. I loved the pea soup and the hot chocolate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
