Food and Dining
Teppanyaki
We've done this before and had a great time, but the setup here was not good. Very crowded and way too loud. The chefs are following a script, and you hear the same jokes (using the same props) coming from each station. The food was mediocre at best.
Garden Cafe
Always too busy for my liking, but my husband loves the variety. Everything we tried was very good.
Food Republic
Food was excellent. Very casual dining.

Ship tip
Three pieces of advice: Consider booking a spa room if you are planning an Alaskan cruise. A balcony is a wonderful way to spot whales and to view the glaciers. If crusing in September, be prepared for rain.
