Carnival Ecstasy Galley Tour

1/21/2023

 
Picture
           ​On my first cruise on the Carnival Ecstasy in 2007 the galley team onboard hosted a free galley tour. The galley tour was held on the last sea day of the cruise and met in the Wind Star Dining Room. When it was time for the tour to start, the galley team members led everyone that showed up into the galley. Galley crew members were stationed around to discuss the kitchen equipment, how the galley operated, and to answer any questions that guests had. 
             The Carnival Ecstasy left Carnival's fleet in October 2022 and in November 2022 arrived in Turkey to be beached. Now the ship is being dismantled and recycled. 
            This page of the website will share pictures from my galley tour of the Carnival Ecstasy in 2007. Guests were allowed to take pictures and actually encouraged to by the crew members onboard! Check out the pictures from the galley tour below:

Entering The Carnival Ecstasy's Galley:
                   
We entered the Carnival Ecstasy's galley from the crew entrance in the Wind Star Dining Room. The Wind Star Dining Room was the Carnival Ecstasy's mid-ship main dining room and located on the Atlantic Deck. Onboard the Carnival Ecstasy the galley was located on the Atlantic Deck in between the Wind Star and Wind Song Dining Rooms.

As we walked through the galley, several food sculptures were on display. The chefs onboard were talented. This is similar to some of the displays Carnival used to offer at the midnight buffets. The midnight buffets are sadly gone nowdays.

A crew member was in the galley showing off ice carving skills. In addition to this ice carving in the galley, Carnival also held ice carving on the Lido Deck outside. Guests from the pool would come by to watch this event. Ice carving still takes place on several Carnival Cruises as of 2023, so be on the look-out for this on your next cruise.

One of the neat things to see on the Carnival Ecstasy's galley tour was food. The chefs were working in the galley on preparing food for lunch & dinner during our tour. The below pictures are of fruit sitting in the fridge waiting to be served as part of lunch.

The galley tour ended in the Carnival Ecstasy's Wind Song Dining Room. This dining room was the aft dining room onboard and was actually my dining room for the cruise. Back in 2007, Your-Time Dining did not exist yet so both dining rooms had early & late seating.

I ate breakfast & lunch a couple of times in the Wind Star Dining Room on my first cruise. Below are a few pictures of the Wind Star Dining Room from this cruise. This was the same place where the galley tour started.

The Carnival Ecstasy was a great ship. Out of my cruises on Carnival this was the only cruise that offered a free galley tour. Carnival eventually rolled out the Behind the Fun Tour that offered a small number of guests a chance to see many crew only areas, including the galley. This tour is expected to return in 2023 and guests can see the galley (and other behind the scene areas) for an additional fee.
