Astro Flyer Posted May 11, 2013 #26 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) We've enjoyed the Eggplant Parmigiana appetizer which had been removed from the 'new' menu at the end of last year. Our table made a special request to have it later in our cruise. However I seem to recall that it's been included in the 'newer new' menu so many must have been disappointed that it had been eliminated.

sunsetbeachgal Posted May 11, 2013 #27 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I agree with all of the above, plus the fettuccine alfredo, eggplant parmesan, twice baked goat cheese souffle mentioned by others. 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... And I agree 100% with your favorites too...pretty much all of the pastas are great...and always cooked perfectly al dente'..yum!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayelbee Posted May 11, 2013 #28 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I love the curries served in the buffet at lunch time if you need a bit of spice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjjjcj Posted May 11, 2013 #33 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The spaghetti and meatballs from the kids menu is soooo good! Also if they're making the penne arrabiatta..the whole dining room will smell so good! I got the recipe from a table captain 20 yrs ago and it is a staple in our home.

GweninTX Posted May 11, 2013 #34 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Just off the Golden and the Eggplant parmigiana appetizer is alive and yummy! I agree with the goat cheese soufflé appetizer and the escargot! The penne arrabiata is great - cooked by the maitre'd table side! Mushroom soup and French onion are must haves! The shrimp and lobster was especially yummy on the last formal night too. Cauliflower fritters with cheese sauce! James Beard french toast is another must have! It is served at lunchtime in the dining room as a brunch item now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working 2 Cruise Posted May 12, 2013 #40 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Does the Island Princess have an IC? What would you substitute for a snack?Louise No, the Island Princess does not have an International Cafe yet, and will not by the time you sail. However, I think she is due for a drydock at the end of the year, at which time it will be added. What do you mean what would you substitute for a snack... Substitute for what? You can always get to Horizon Court and get some fruit and salads for snacks instead of those desserts... I try to have only one slightly fattening thing a day otherwise I will weigh more than the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
las313 Posted May 12, 2013 #41 Share Posted May 12, 2013 We were recently on Royal Caribbean and they have a promenade cafe that servered small sandwiches and small desserts 24 hours a day. And coffee and tea. Was nice if you wanted something small to snack. Louise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherryf Posted May 12, 2013 #44 Share Posted May 12, 2013 The spaghetti and meatballs from the kids menu is soooo good!

Love.II.Cruise Posted May 12, 2013 #46 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Fetticinni Alfredo in the main dining room (I get an appetizer portion), the NY style pizza by the pool is the best ever, and the tiramisu at the international cafe... plus any fresh fruit and caesar salad I can get! Also any chance at beef filet... not to mention the squid steak! We had the latter on our July 2012 Alaska cruise and it was delicious!

greenie082756 Posted May 12, 2013 #49 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I really enjoyed the Beef Wellington as well as all the above :) I had it for the very first time on the Golden and it was delicious! Very enjoyable. Also there was a chocolate chocolate desert one night that was excellent. I don't remember the name of it but it was three different kinds of chocolate on a plate..SO GOOD! In two weeks gained 9 lbs. and we ate salads for lunch.:D Do I need to say more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
