In Puerto Vallarta, there is a fabulous restaurant for lunch downtown. It’s called Joe Jacks. Google the address. Very reasonable price for what you get.

One needs to place Daka on ignore, if this is possible. Maybe it’s a Bot, as well. This post keeps repeating.

I was on Discovery in November. Food was excellent, and me and mine are hard to please. While I’m not a serial cruiser like some of you, I have noticed that the food quality is very dependent on the chef. I haven’t had any awful cruises, but some have been better than others, food wise.

By definition, all the posters on this forum are relatively rich by world standards. Your steward makes around $10-12K per annum pre tip. That’s not even minimum wage here in CA. It’s about average third world income in the more prosperous countries. So be generous. Note that most of these people come from very poor countries. You all can afford to share.

It’s a mistake. I like to gamble, but did none on my recent voyage. Having 1/2 smoking is ridiculous. One can smell it everywhere.

I will add this: I don’t know how Princess will eventually monetize this event, but if you think paying $150 for the experience is too expensive, you don’t get out much.

Just completed the recent cruise on Discovery. 360 a unique and wonderful experience. All food cooked to perfection. Countries were Greece, Italy and Spain. Seven courses of delight. My dil was invited with her husband and since she was traveling with my wife and I, she wangled an invitation for us as well. We all had full suite accommodations.

I’m on exact same cruise now. Everything is fine and I would rate the food excellent.

Regarding Princess and full British breakfast, you are likely to be able to put this together in the buffet. I did not notice it on any menus. I don’t spend much time in the buffet. Chicken Tikka Masala is available on Cunard lines if you dine in the Grills section. It’s not on the menu, but can be requested a day ahead.

I’ll quote myself. Indian curries are endless in variety, so the reality is that It could have been invented by Indians, but wasn’t. 😉

It was invented by British troops when India was a colony. It’s very good, but a hybrid.
