MTJSR Posted October 9, 2013 #102 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I REALLY appreciate all the suggestions. There may be a few things that were suggested, that I just don't like, but I still appreciate suggesting them. Here is my list: Breakfast sandwich @ IC Waldorf Chicken Salad @ IC Fettuccine Alfredo in Parmesan bowl Escargot Beef Wellington Souffle's Both dessert and the Goat Cheese appetizer one Pistachio Cream @ IC Pizza by the pool Afternoon Tea Love Boat Dream Tapas and Sushi @ Vines The Volcano (Kids dessert) Dinner Rolls Cheese tray @ IC At least once in your life, "The Chefs Table" and when you order the Love Boat Dream, ask for a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. You will need it to cut the richness of the chocolate moose inside the LBD. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whataboutport Posted October 9, 2013 #103 Share Posted October 9, 2013 So is ecargot actually available every night? Last time on Allure it was on the menu as "always available" but they had none for the whole time (and from what I heard months before and after) because of a world wide shortage.

MauiLvrs Posted October 9, 2013 #104 Share Posted October 9, 2013 This sounds so good, does anyone have a picture? Cruise is in 10 days and I am getting hungry and will make my list as well.:D Your post is out of date ... you cruise is now in 9 days and change ;) There may be too many things to have to try to fit in 7 days ...:eek: But that is our mission :D So is ecargot actually available every night? Last time on Allure it was on the menu as "always available" but they had none for the whole time (and from what I heard months before and after) because of a world wide shortage. Maybe they can come harvest ours ... or if you bring them they can prepare them:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vent1020 Posted October 9, 2013 Author #105 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Just don't try this all in one day!:eek: ROFL. I am only doing a 4 day cruise and already trying to figure out how I am going to fit it all in, in just 4 days. Instead of 3 big meals, I think I may be having 6-7 small meals a day. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need it to cut the richness of the chocolate moose inside the LBD. Enjoy! Yeah, I really wanted to do the Chef's table this trip, but with other stuff going on, can't swing it. BUT, I will take your advice on the ice cream with the Love Boat Dream, that or a tall glass of cold milk. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjkTX Posted October 9, 2013 #107 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I don't care what diet one may be on - the food not to miss is the dinner roll with butter. Awesome, and consistently good across the Princess fleet. We (along with three other couples we were cruising with and had dinner with every evening) just got off the Grand Princess - and one of the comments everyone made was we don't have/eat bread at home - but no one can resist the rolls on Princess. I managed to skip dessert all but one evening - but I made up for it with the rolls :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time on Allure it was on the menu as "always available" but they had none for the whole time (and from what I heard months before and after) because of a world wide shortage. On the Grand last week we never saw Escargot - but we skipped formal nights. When we asked the waiter the last evening he said it had been available on the last formal night.

Piepkorn Posted October 9, 2013 #115 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Going on the golden this week to celebrate my Halloween bday a little early . . .so excited !! haven't been on a Princess cruise for 5+ years. . Which restaurants are n/c and which charge a surcharge? IC is no charge' date=' how about Sabatinis and Crown grill . . .what is else is there besides the MDR and the buffet?[/quote'] We also just got off Golden on Monday... In addition to what was listed earlier, Golden has a venue called 'Crab Shack' which has a nice selection of shell fish pots. Located in the aft end of Horizon Court for $20. They also have the 'Pub Lunch' on the sea day in Crown Grill (no charge). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpcountryTravelers Posted October 10, 2013 #116 Share Posted October 10, 2013 If you are into scorched cardboard, you will like the pizza by the pool. If not, stay away. Otherwise, Princess has the best escargot at sea. Others rave about IC; I can't comment, as we have never been on a ship that has it. Pub lunch is iffy: some great, some not so good.

RNGALNG Posted October 10, 2013 #117 Share Posted October 10, 2013 The crab shack is something new on Princess. We are just hearing about it. If you are following the live from the Royal, they talked a little about it and other have posted photos of the menu and food served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough sauce or toppings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicmom3 Posted October 10, 2013 #119 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Since your plate is going to be pretty full....keep in mind that you can ask for the Fettuccine Alfredo as an appetizer - doesn't come with the parm bowl that way - but makes a great appetizer :-) If you make a point of asking for the appetizer portion to come in the parm bowl...it does! But for me it wasn't that great...kind of soggy, actually. I preferred the fettuccine Alfredo plain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurf1635 Posted October 10, 2013 #120 Share Posted October 10, 2013 We love the vines bar for wine and sushi Obviously there is a charge for the wine, but what about the shushi? Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not care for it at all. Not enough sauce or toppings. Yes, it is the one we all seem to love. I guess pizza is a real personal choice! It has taken my husband and I over 35 years to find one we both can enjoy! For years, we have gone to his favorite place and the next, to mine. We both like the pizza by the pool. We would rather get that instead of the HC on the first day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I a allergic to alcohol and my husband is allergic to some sea foods, so we both will go and try it! He can have the wine and I will have the sushi!

We would rather get that instead of the HC on the first day! Oh I took one bite of the honey chicken and was over it! I'm from CA so I like pizza with a thin slightly crunchy crust with loads of sauce and toppings and just enough cheese to hold it all together. I suppose the NY style is floppy crust with lots of cheese; more about the crust and cheese and the toppings huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whataboutport Posted October 10, 2013 #125 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Does anyone have any pics of the sushi? Is it just dressed up CA rolls with unagi sauce and the like? or is it actual nigiri sushi, hand rolls, etc? I love sushi, but not the kind that's deep fried and covered in sweet or mayo sauces.
