Rare Woobstr112G Posted June 17, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I was looking at deck plans on the Grand and can't locate Vines & Alfredos. I know I'm probably looking right at them, but I just don't see them. Can someone please advise me as to their locations..... Thanks Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bob Vines and Alfredos have apperared on Grand since refit in April and the website has not updated deck plans as far as I know. Not 100% sure where they are as a first time cruiser but think Vines in the new area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LARGIN Posted June 17, 2011 #4 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Revised deck plans for the Grand has been posted on Princess.com 2-3 weeks ago and is shown in the 1012-2013 Cruise Atlas. I guess you haven't received your copy yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasperdo Posted June 17, 2011 #6 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Alfredo's was put in where Vines used to be. Vines moved next to it, where the Vines Wine Shop used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmwnc1959 Posted June 17, 2011 #7 Share Posted June 17, 2011 OK. I have a question about the cabins on that side of the ship and how that starboard passageway exits into the Atrium. Does it cut through or past Alfredo's? Looks like it exits right into the venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it cut through or past Alfredo's? Looks like it exits right into the venue.My guess is that would be an emergency exit only, and passengers in those cabins would exit through the Art Gallery and into the center of the Piazza. If you look at the Port side, it shows the same thing. That door would go right into the crew work area for the International Cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know if there was anyone who had been on her since the refit and would know for sure. I'm booked in a cabin just down from that 'emergency exit' (?) and hope the passageway doesn't smell like pizza all the time. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a pole in the way, but it looks like that "emergency door" would go into the crew area in the back corner of Alfredo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that if I was in starboard side P329 on Plaza Deck I cannot use that corridor, that to access the atrium you have to go forward and then back through the art gallery?

It is the same with a room on the port side such as P328 where they can't exit through the IC but must go forward and ext through the Art Gallery except in an emergency.

I remember cruising once before where there was a similar situation. There was a large heavy fire door at the end of the hall that would have normally lead to the atrium and was for emergency use only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no more corridor; corridor has been replaced by pizza ovens. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddy709 Posted June 18, 2011 #17 Share Posted June 18, 2011 When they were doing the Grand dry dock they had a short video on Alfredo's. It appeared that it was going to be kind of frou-frou pizza. Are they still going to have the regular pizza on the pool deck? I don't think it makes much sense to have two pizza places, but sometimes I enjoy just being able to grab a slice when I'm sitting on deck.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about having the 'munchies' 24/7. The smell would drive me crazy! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more authentic style pizza was better than what they served on the Lido Deck and the view overlooking the atrium was great for people watching.

The new Alfredo's is not designed as a 'fast food' pizza place, it's a sit down restaurant serving full size pizza. On the Grand the last couple of weeks it was used a lot during the lunchtime period, but looked fairly quiet during the evenings. The ventilation round Alfredo's is very good, there was virtually no pizza smell through the Piazza that I could notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahav1 Posted July 23, 2011 #21 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Is it only Pizza? Do they have calzones or pasta as well? I've been searching the Princess website but no information on Alfredo's menu, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The choices are: Capricciosa Romana Tarantina Vegetariana Grand Princess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been searching the Princess website but no information on Alfredo's menu, thanks Pizza only...baked to order. You can get from the International cafe, a Greek salad or shrimp salad and bring it with you to Alfredos as a side dish. One tip...the Pizzas are huge...one is enough between two...unless you're a BIG eater!! We loved the International cafe on the Grand in June.

true45 Posted July 23, 2011 #24 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hello - I'm new to Princess. Any extra charges for Alfredos Pizza or the salads at International cafe? I do know fancy coffees are extra fee items. Thanks. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
