I don’t think I’ve ever had a quality fruit cake. I claim to not like them based on the overly sweet chemical laden fruit that was gifted each Christmas to my mother. They didcome in rather nice tins that I’ve used for many years to hold cookies errr biscuits.

@jam19872016 Out of curiosity, when they cook your selection of items for the Mongolian Wok do they cook them on a flat top griddle or in a wok? True Mongolian grill is done a giant round gas fired flat top. There is a copious amount of liquid added to the items before being splayed on the griddle. Sauces, such as those listed, are not added during cooking. Very tasty!

Ouch!

Beautiful picture!

I think it would be interesting to see them all lined up. She must have quite a collection at this point .

Dinner. Shakespeare “Get thee to a nunnery go!” - @jam19872016 Get thee to Cunard, Go! Eat real food. A TA is a wonderful thing to experience and much cheaper than 56 days around South America. But, rent a tux dude and let your mom strut her stuff in something beautiful! Stand in the atrium, level 2, and have a picture of the two of you taken to remember it for many years to come. Bless you for all of your wonderful posts.

@jam19872016 I have had funfetti cakes before and I was afraid that they used the same confetti in the cheesecake. I was holding out hope that maybe they just put those little sprinkles on top and not within the cake. Oh well. The dinner menu looks good. I’m looking forward to seeing your choices. 🙂

We will want pictures of course! What type of cake?

What do they adulterate perfectly good cheesecake with to make it funfetti? I bet it contains your favorite #2 yellow dye, and maybe even #4 red. Chocolate peanut butter does sound like a winner. Like a giant Reese’s peanut butter cup with a good cup of coffee on the side.

Oh My…what do you think those French fry looking molded rectangles could be? You said it was apple/caramel…as @exlondoner has pointed out, there are many fried foods being served. Perhaps they are fried apples. Maybe even breaded fried apples!

Yum…that sounds good and I’m glad to hear your report that it was “pretty good”

I’m sitting shaking my head thinking I’d be going hungry this afternoon if those were my choices. I did appreciate the description of 80/20 chuck for the Salisbury steak and I was also glad to see a matching cruet set and a real pepper grinder. Thanks for the warning @NE John, but the damage was done. Too bad there isn’t a way to insert a warning, “The pictures you are about to see depict food in various states of disarray and may cause pain to foodies. A glass of wine recommended before proceeding.” But, I’m glad you enjoyed your lunch @jam19872016 😉 and I hope the seas smooth out for you. I’m looking forward to your dinner.

Now that’s how an omelet should look! But I still can’t believe they are serving cut up hot dogs. Do they serve real sausage links? How’s the bacon ie streaky American?

I agree with @tv24’s earlier post regarding hiring a car. We have done so through Cunard twice in Brooklyn and been glad we did. We have driven off looking at the line of people waiting for cabs. We made an 11:45 flight out of JFK last July, but I was worried until we got through security which is usually confused at Terminal 7 where Alaska flies out of. I don’t know about security at the other terminals or airports.

We too had a couple of frustrated messes with the machine so I now travel with my own coffee bags and DH boils the water. They are now on the packing list with the painters tape and magnets.

The chicken soup sounds…interesting…I’m wondering about the texture with the cheese. I’m thinking it would become stringy. Dijon would add a tang, but with sage I’m not so sure. I’d probably go for the flat bread with the bbq chicken. Lasagna or spareribs? Can’t wait to see the pictures!

Come on @jam19872016 you need to make Mom happy!

I do both the air tags and the colored straps. When watching baggage go around and around on a conveyor belt I find it easier to spot the colored straps. But, the air tags were super helpful last December during the huge storms when bags were everywhere.

Oh Yum. With the exception of the gummy worm those look really good. I’m assuming that’s a cheesecake, but I wonder what they added to get the almost yellow color, unless they used really really good eggs. I’ve never seen cakes like this on Cunard. Do they exist? @exlondoner @NE John

Just use your Luis Vuitton.

In summary: Omelet - who forgot it in the pan? An American omelet may have a little browning on it, although I would never serve one that way, but that is completely overcooked. Carvings - Amazing! Some really talented people put in many hours to produce those works of art. See, I CAN say something nice. Cakes - I hope they taste as good as they look. Have a wonderful day and thanks again for providing us with such entertaining reading. Comparatively the Cunard board has been pretty dull lately. 😞

This is a 3 day cruise September, 2024. $85.00 per day.

Yes they do. Limited sizes. You can also purchase ties etc. No idea of price. There are other threads with this information.

Looks like linguine. Fettuccine is usually wider.

Crab cake was going very good. Had a nice flavor and lots of crab. I love the apple slaw it came with, I don't remember that before. But it had some tiny bones in it. That's a major texture issue for me. Instant appetite killer. Wish I'd gone for the mushrooms now. @jam19872016 Crab cake with tiny bones…something fishy about that. No bones in a crab. Do you you think they were tiny pieces of the cartilage or did they use an additional filler fish? FYI - looking through lots of cake recipes and wish I had a some cream cheese.
