Quilter n Cruiser Posted March 7, 2013 #27 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Alfredo with shrimp sounds delicious. I am going to try it in May on the Sapphire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MpwdMom Posted March 7, 2013 #29 Share Posted March 7, 2013 We were on the Crown in Jan. and the appetizer alfredo didn't come with the basket. After we were told that, I ordered the entree portion each night with "lots and lots of chicken!" And no, the basket doesn't have flour in it but still - it's so good!!!

Rare Texas Realtor Posted March 7, 2013 #30 Share Posted March 7, 2013 On ruby right now. Had it last night. The portion under the Alfredo was soggy, but the edges were crispy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikjr Posted March 19, 2013 #33 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Just a note - The menu says this can be ordered as either an entre' or an appetizer portion. But, on Ruby 3 weeks ago, I ordered it as an appetizer and got just the Fettucini Alfredo - no cheese basket. When asked, the waiter said "The appetizer portions don't come with cheese basket". very true... just got off the Sapphire, same thing... NO basket with appetizer. Also remember, you can order a grilled chicken breast on top and MORE SAUCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylimepie Posted March 19, 2013 #34 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Oh, sorry y'all didn't get the baskets. We ordered three times this past week on the Crown and each time it did come with a basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whimsy Posted March 19, 2013 #36 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I have the Alfredo with grilled shrimp often when nothing else looks good. I don't eat Alfredo anywhere except on a Princess cruise, it's that yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcur Posted April 30, 2013 #38 Share Posted April 30, 2013 We had this amazingly yummy dish almost every night as a side dish on the Star. We would share it between the two of us. Our assistant waiter, Anna, told us it was her absolute favorite, too. I'm fixing it for the family along with my Parmesan Chicken. All parmesan, all the time. By the way this chicken recipe is to die for, too. Very moist and yummy. Add a side of the alfredo-basket and sauteed veggies, and you've got dinner!! Baked Chicken Parmesan Preheat oven to 450 degrees Cut boned and skinless chicken breats in half (1/4 breast) Bowl #1: mix white vinegar, Poupon mustard, salt, pepper Bowl #2: in a food processor, blend butter, bread crumbs (I sometimes use garlic croutons), and LOTS of parmesan cheese. Put in bowl #2 Dip chicken in bowl #1, then bowl #2, getting lots of coating on each piece (it's messy) Place on slightly oiled rack over a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. The rack helps the heat circulate under the chicken. Bake 20 minutes, until chicken is done inside and cheese is browned. (The delicious smell while it's baking will drive you crazy!!)

Colo Cruiser Posted April 30, 2013 #39 Share Posted April 30, 2013 The recipe has not changed they just were not cooked properly. :( They were great on our Emerald cruise last month too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted April 30, 2013 #40 Share Posted April 30, 2013 That happened to me on my last cruise. I had heard a lot of praise for this' date=' but just wanted an appetizer size, not a whole plate. So next time, I'll request the basket specifically.[/quote'] I did just that on my last cruise (Sapphire April 13). A table mate let me "taste" a chip off her basket. When I inquired if I could get it at another time, it mysteriously appeared that same night. Just the basket (no Alfredo). Delicious.

DaisyandSika Posted May 1, 2013 #42 Share Posted May 1, 2013 We were on the Emerald the beginning of April. Didn't get a single basket, and I ordered the appy 4 times and the main course twice. Still delicious, but not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our waiter told us that the baskets did not come on board in Ft. Lauderdale. So, we could have the fettechini, but it would be in a bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkiC Posted May 2, 2013 #48 Share Posted May 2, 2013 The recipe has not changed they just were not cooked properly. :(They were great on our Emerald cruise last month too. I was just reporting what our waiter conveyed from the chef, but sure hope that they have the golden crispy baskets on our next cruise in August. I sure missed them when all I could get was the soggy white basket. I always used to just order the baskets with no filler but I do like the idea of a Ceasar Salad filler. That sounds really good.
