PSDottie Posted October 25, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I will be taking my 8 year old granddaughter on a cruise in early December. The only "requirement" she has is that the ship has sushi! There aren't too many ships going from California so I am considering the Wonder. Is there sushi available?

hexdragon Posted October 25, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I thought this sounded familiar... It's been discussed before... http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1499003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSDottie Posted October 25, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Thanks -- I guess that leaves Disney out. The only alternative out of CA for the date we want to go would be the Splendor which I don't want to do. An 8 year old shouldn't be allowed to like sushi so much! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexdragon Posted October 26, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 26, 2011 The Wonder sails from LA. There are PLENTY of Sushi Bars for before and after the cruise. If I remember correctly there was some sushi on the buffet, I just don't know how good it is... Besides, I think the excitement of a Disney cruise will outweigh the disappointment of no sushi...

cruisincousin Posted October 26, 2011 #6 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Celebrity has sushi every night in their buffet restaurant (don't know what you call it most ships its called a Lido) They set up a Japanese area around 6PM and have all types of Sushi. We always take late seating for dinner but slip up to the Lido and get some sushi to go with our pre dinner cocktail in our cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSDottie Posted October 27, 2011 Author #7 Share Posted October 27, 2011 How I wish Celebrity was on the west coast -- they are my favorite ships. Still haven't decided should I take my granddaughter on Disney, Carnival or Oosterdam. Disney is almost twice the price to be assured of getting a full balcony. Sushi on Celebrity was great the last time we were on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisneyKidsDad Posted October 27, 2011 #8 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I can't believe your basing your whole cruise vacation on an 8 year old's desire to have sushi. :confused: This is her "requirement"? This demending at 8 years old. Just wait till she is in her teens. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hit us with a wooden spoon for swinging our feet at the dinner table. :mad: She lived with us so it was no treat for her to see us. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSDottie Posted October 27, 2011 Author #11 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Sorry, I gave the wrong impression about sushi being a requirement. My husband died recently and my daughter thought it would be good for both me and my granddaughter to have time together on a cruise. When we first spoke about it she was indeed excited and then asked if they would have sushi. When I told her the ship would have it she was even more excited. Since then she said to me "Grandma, you don't really have to find a ship with sushi -- it will be OK." Has anyone seen one of the guarantee balcony cabins on Disney that only has a large porthole? I really don't want to get stuck with that and don't want to pay the extra money to be sure to get a regular balcony. I really don't want to take her on Carnival Splendor and I think the Oosterdam would be pretty dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexdragon Posted October 28, 2011 #13 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Dottie, I am not sure what you mean by "Has anyone seen one of the guarantee balcony cabins on Disney that only has a large porthole" Are you referring to the Ocean View rooms? I had one of those. The port hole was a good five foot in diameter... No balcony though... I have a shot or two taken from the porthole, but they are at home and I am at work... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never stayed in one of those cabins, but maybe somebody here can give you some advice. I'm sure you're granddaughter will love the Disney Cruise! Good luck!

iceman93 Posted October 30, 2011 #16 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I really don't want to take her on Carnival Splendor and I think the Oosterdam would be pretty dull. While I think DCL is probably the best choice, I can assure you the Oosterdam is not dull and that you would have a wonderful cruise on that ship as well. And yes, HAL does have sushi on their buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fyreus Posted November 1, 2011 #19 Share Posted November 1, 2011 That is wrong on soooo many levels. ROFL Have you seen the TV ad with the parents eating their daughter's pet fish to save money on sushi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommy-san Posted November 2, 2011 #22 Share Posted November 2, 2011 There were also sushi restaurants in port in Cabo. i don't know why, but I found that HILARIOUS.(yes, I am warped) Mexican sushi. :D Still makes me laugh. But honestly, I have heard its great- very fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayrenmom Posted March 18, 2012 #23 Share Posted March 18, 2012 It's really not that unusual. My 11 year old would bring sushi to our room everyday for happy hour on our Carnival cruise last summer. She loves it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
