doubletree07 Posted January 20, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Wondering if there are themed dinners in the Horizon Court. Any one able to elaborate, i.e., specific ships. We will be sailing on the Coral Princess in March and thinking of passing on formal nights. Thanks in advance. :) Marie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have done this in the past & instead of a 2 hour dinner you finish much faster! the food in the evening is much (!!) better at dinner than any other time. Many more are passing formal night due to the airline $$ for luggage. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted January 21, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The only actual 'theme' nights I have seen have been on those ships that offer the Cafe Caribe (aft of the Horizon Court). I don't remember any theme nights on those ships that offer only the Horizon Court as an option. Keep in mind, although some of the same foods will be served at the buffet as in the dining room, many are not as they don't hold up well in a buffet setting. They do their best, but things like lobster and steaks are not offered, or many of the same desserts will not be available at the buffet. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toto2Kansas Posted January 21, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 21, 2011 No sorry, only the modified Grand Class ships (the biggest in the fleet) offer the Cafe Caribe. Ships like the Caribbean princess, Emerald Princess and Crown Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 HappyCruiser Posted January 21, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 21, 2011 They had an Indian theme night recently on the Grand. The only reason I remember it is because after taking a plate filled with food I left everything on the table & went to the dining room since it was all uneatable. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted January 21, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 21, 2011 On our recent Sapphire cruise, there was a "theme" almost every day in the Horizon Court at lunchtime in addition to the usual buffet offerings. There was also a "Pub Lunch" in the Wheelhouse a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Pam - Toto said only the Grand Class ships have the Caribe Cafe. :( A fellow poster was wondering if Coral Princess offered themed lunches/dinners in the Horizon Court thus my inquiry. By the way loved the review of your most recent MR cruise. :) Marie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have only been on one Princess cruise, the Sapphire , Oct. 2009 and I don't recall any themed lunches/dinners in Horizon Court or the dining rooms.
