Do they give ship tours that include the Galley areas?
I would love to see what that kitchen must look like.

Great question and as other PP's have said, yes they offer them but only to guests 18 and over.
You might want to grab a Navigator from a cruise similar to what you're taking and get a list of activities. They should be similar. With the Dream, hopefully they'll offer more activities as there are more guests onboard.
No, your kids will absolutely NOT be allowed. No one under 18, and that is a strict rule.
I understand the reasoning, but that is too bad. We were all really hoping to see it. Maybe they will get interested in the kids clubs and Momma and I can slip off and see it. I'm always up for cookies
You mean my 12 and 10 year old can't take it. They will be heartbroken. They both love to cook. Our favorite channel is Food Network.
Is this something that we need to book online prior to boarding? Something to book as soon as we get on the ship or something that gets booked once we see it in the navigator?
They say that this is a rule, but I've been on tours where there were children allowed. It won't hurt to ask when you get onboard.
I have no idea why they sometimes stick to the rule and sometimes don't.
I'm sorry, but this is frustrating. I really don't care how they do it (allow kids or not), but they should be consistent. We saw this it was listed as adults only, so didn't even try to ask about our kids joining us even though our older two would have really enjoyed this tour. I guess we'll be asking about our kids in the future so that they can hopefully participate (and probably upset a few other guests in the meantime ).

Is that something new?
Our kids were able to go with us on the galley tour.
Under 18's being allowed on the Galley Tour are at the discretion of the Galley staff and who is conducting the tour. This past summer on the Magic the CM didn't want to allow a sleeping baby that was in a front carrier on the tour, but in the end the baby was allowed to stay with the parent and allowed on the tour. Once the CM saw other kids that has permission to be on the tour she gave in. The baby never once woke up and no one was bothered the baby was on the tour.
We've always asked Guest Services about taking our teen with us and they have said she was allowed to go and even issued her a ticket.
It doesn't hurt to ask if your kids are allowed. If they are then consider it a bonus. If they can't then don't be too disappointed since it's listed as an Adult event.
BTW....I'd rather see kids and babies on a Galley tour than someone in a dripping wet bathing suit. It's a shame she was allowed to join the tour that way.
