Luckysll Posted May 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I'm going on my first Princess cruise in September (Golden Princess to Alaska). What are some of the foods on the menus that are not-to-be-missed (buffet, room service or main dining room)? Not sure I'll go to any of the specialty dining, but if there's something there as well, it could change my mind. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ready2cruzagain Posted May 11, 2013 #5 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) We always go to the International Cafe get a plate of cheeses and crackers and a drink of choice before dinner in the atrium and listen to the music there. I do not eat desserts, just one of my ways to watch the calories on a cruise but fell in love with The Love Boat Dream. Dh loves the cheesecake.

Jo and Rob Posted May 11, 2013 #9 Share Posted May 11, 2013 This is a fab thread and one that I will enjoy following especially if there are photographs. Chef's table - total indulgence and should be on every cruiser's bucket list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckysll Posted May 11, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted May 11, 2013 This is a fab thread and one that I will enjoy following especially if there are photographs. Chef's table - total indulgence and should be on every cruiser's bucket list! I did the Chef's Table on the Carnival Miracle. It was a wonderful experience, but I'm not sure I'd do it again on another ship, only because there was so much food that by the end, I found it hard to enjoy the food when I was so full. The Love Boat Dream looks delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen of PA Posted May 11, 2013 #11 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The Parmesan Alfrdo in a crusty basket (ask for added chicken or shrimp), the Love Boat Dream dessert, and chicken or shrimp salad from the International Cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubfan63 Posted May 11, 2013 #12 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The Parmesan Alfrdo in a crusty basket (ask for added chicken or shrimp), the Love Boat Dream dessert, and chicken or shrimp salad from the International Cafe. I've even had the beef tenderloin from the always available menu on the Fettuccine Alfredo. The cheesy basket is a must. Other wonderful things are the shrimp salad (as mentioned above) from the International Cafe, the pizza (especially fond of 4-cheese-a daily special) from the lido pizzeria, and the scallops appetizer from the Crown Grill and the Onion soup from the Crown Grill before the delicious ribeye there. Have a wonderful cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy G Posted May 11, 2013 #13 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Yes, Fettucini alfredo is a must! Also love their pesto pasta and mushroom soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD64 Posted May 11, 2013 #17 Share Posted May 11, 2013 All of the Princess pastas are good - but yes - the Fettuccine Alfredo is exceptional. I order it as a side every night. The pasta with clams usually on the last night of a seven day Caribbean cruise reminds me of Italy, and I order that as a main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwn Posted May 11, 2013 #18 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Do the Ocean and the Pacific princess have the International Café? Is It a extra charge eating venue? It has been 4 years since we were on Princess but will be on the Ocean Princess for 50+ days next spring. Just wondering. I have always loved the Alfredo, what about the Caesar salad is it still an always available item also? Edited May 11, 2013 by cwn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No...these ships do not have International cafe...and no plans to add as far as I'm aware... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwn Posted May 11, 2013 #20 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Oh well, I love chicken and shrimp salad. Last time we were on the Ocean (still the old mane then) there was no IC. But the small ships have other charms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also love the spring rolls on the first night, the veal ravioli on the second formal night, and if you are lucky enough for them to be making it as a special dish on Italian night, the penne arrabiata. Hmmm... I am noticing a cheese and pasta trend in my choices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timetravler Posted May 11, 2013 #24 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Everything from the crown grill and Sabatini's too. The garlic fries, the corn, the spinach, all from the crown are just a few items I loved. The chefs table is a must do. I have done 4 of them. Beautiful presentation, food, and service. Well worth the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
