Going to Hawaii on the Grand Princess sounds like fun to me. I have been to Hawaii 2x and enjoyed both trips. In December I will be on the Coral for a 10 day to the Panama Canal. I am still working on the 2014 cruises. Do you remember Jim and Gene from North Carolina? We are still in touch with each other on a regular basis.

Great thread!

 

Can you tell me, is this 14 day menus? We are doing an 11 night next spring on the Coral and I hoping this fall someone will post the menus so we can plan in advance nights for the specialty restaurants with our group.

A fun way to occupy the time, trying to out guess the menus! Which will we have, what order, etc. :)

[Mermen]

Yum, thanks for posting!! :)

You said this was for a 14 night sailing. Is this the order you experienced them?

 

Do you know if for an 18 night TA if they would repeat menus, or do something different?

 

I'm gaining weight reading your thread! :eek:

This is a 14 day menu in order......but all ships have different chefs, days of the week for formal night etc....there are 14 basic menus and then repeat or they can tweak them for longer cruises or different locations......sorry

Thank you Christine for all of the menu posts. Did all of these menu's come from the main dining room(s)? Did you post them in order of each night? Just trying to "plan ahead" if possible. (And thinking I'd better get out of this chair and go take a 10 mile walk just to get started!!!).
