paul929207 Posted November 22, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Just back from the Tahitian and they did something new on Sundays we were at sea. They offered a Sunday Brunch in the main dining room instead of the usual breakfast and lunch. It was a buffet , with waiter service for special orders, like Eggs Benedict. They had the normal breakfast buffet in the Panorama. The lunch there was a light lunch, more salads and sandwiches and less hot offerrings.

paul929207 Posted November 22, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Thanks, Pia. Our next trip is a land tour in January/February to SE Asia. In May, we are on the Ocean Princess from Cape Town to Dover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted November 22, 2009 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Thanks for the info Paul. I wonder if they are testing something new? Hadn't seen this offered before. Hope you had a delightful cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia1913 Posted November 22, 2009 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Thanks, Pia. Our next trip is a land tour in January/February to SE Asia. In May, we are on the Ocean Princess from Cape Town to Dover. If this is your first trip to Cape Town, I suggest you spend a minimum of three days precruise. That looooooooooooonggggg flight. UGH! We were there in 2005 post cruise for four days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted November 22, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted November 22, 2009 We have been to Cape Town twice, for 4 days 2 years ago and for three last month. The last visit, we flew Delta from Atlanta to Joberg and then on to Cape Town. That way we had only one overnight flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they roll this out on other ships. Welcome home, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted November 23, 2009 #8 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Interesting idea! I wonder if they'll keep this on the OP. You'll have to let us know after your May cruise since we'll be on the OP on a Sunday next Oct. Welcome home! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you'll already have everything organised as far as hotels are concerned in CPT but just in case, remember the Wold Cup is being held in RSA next year. I know the first games don't start until early June but many hotels are already sold out pre-tournament as teams and many fans will be down there from up to a month beforehand. Just a thought as I know the World Cup isn't something that's at the forefront of most people's minds your side of the water..!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted November 23, 2009 Author #12 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Probably only practical on a Sunday that is a sea day. There were five Sundays during our cruise. Two were seas days and the brunch was offerred. It was not offerred on port days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted November 23, 2009 #13 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I remember when they had brunch on all sea days in Sabatinis. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake165 Posted November 23, 2009 #14 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Sunday brunch is certainly not a new thing for Princess, I recall having Sunday brunch on Regal Princess some years ago on a Far East cruise. Regards Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
