Princess Patters for our 2nd full sea day which is tomorrow (Friday) :D

More to come tomorrow...

 

Good night from Royal Princess!!! :D :D :D

[Astro Flyer]

I will have to do both! :)

 

The Tignanello alone is reason for me to partake, a superb wine!!!

To me it's always best to try things & decide how much I enjoy something. We enjoyed both & hopefully we'll be able to do another Winemakers Dinner. :D

 

I've been suggesting to Princess to expand this dinner fleetwide. The Royal only has the "wine cellar" dining area & also the Chef's Table "Lumiere". If they can have CT's on other ships without the "Lumiere" then I see no reason why they cannot have a Winemakers Dinner without a "wine cellar", right? ;)

Dinner this evening was at the Crown Grill. I had the Pan Seared Scallops, Shrimp and Pancetta Bisque, Red Skin Mashed Potatoes, and 8 ounce Filet Mignon with mushrooms on the side. They also offered a 3-salt condiment. Desert was the Crown Dependence, a small sampling of the four different deserts offered. The entire meal was amazing, and of course, I'll be back next week. Ileana (Romania) and Ond (Hungary) were my servers and were really sweet and charming. I hope I get them on my next visit.

 

After I was rolled out of Crown Grill I headed back up to my cabin to recover before attempting to go see Beatlemaniacs tonight at 9pm. I hope I don't fall asleep from all that food!!!

 

We have two full sea days ahead of us before returning to Fort Lauderdale. The Captain came over during dinner and advised that the ship may be rocking back and forth a bit tomorrow, but until that point the ride has been ultra smooth from where I'm standing.

 

After five days aboard Royal Princess I can honestly say I'm looking forward to another week on her. I never left the ship in Princess Cay, St. Thomas, or St. Martin and plan on doing the same next week except to ride the Paradise Point tramway if it's open.

 

More to come... :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of all the pictures of all the food in all those eateries you had to post my personal trifecta of food addictions ! Scallops are my favorite seafood, I love soup and eat it all year round and I never met a steak I didn't like.

 

My uncle had a restaurant on Wall St. that was only open for breakfast and lunch but he knew so many restaurant owners in NYC. I was introduced to lobster, steak, crab, dover sole, and so many other wonderful foods before I was 5 !

 

I had thought to make reservations at Sabatini's because everyone has raved about that venue but I'm changing my mind after those super yummy photos !

 

And thanks for all your time and effort on this thread. I have some questions but I will ask yoyosma, I really want you to take the time to enjoy your cruises and do whatever your heart desires.

Dave,

 

Your pics are stunning! Thanks so much for increasing my excitement for our upcoming cruise in 2014!!

Wow, that looks like an amazing meal...I love the Crown Grill. We always book at least one night on board. I recently met a couple on the Emerald Princess that ate there every night of a 10 day cruise!

 

Glad you are having such a great time on board the Royal Dave!!

Re: MDR Menus

For some reason, the daily MDR menus are posted at the entrance to the Horizon

 

 

Reason is so people can decide if there would prefer to eat in the dining room or the buffet.

 

This posting is done on some, but not all, of the Princess ships.

Hi All

 

Speak nicely to your waiter and he will be able to show you tomorrows menu at the end of your meal

 

Yours Shogun

The Beatlemaniacs played to a completely packed Princess Theater for almost 50 minutes, with most seats already filled 25 minutes before the show began. It was well worth the wait. They have a follow-up show tomorrow in the atrium.

 

 

Dave;

 

Sounds like you enjoyed the show.....:):):)

Last night was sort of bouncy, and it woke me up around 4:30. Rolled back over then overslept, didn't get up until after 8am. A quick breakfast at the International Cafe with a cappuccino then topside for some pictures. Little white caps all the way to the horizon. Horizon Court was packed at 9am, the Horizon Bistro not so much.

Topside around 9am this morning

Ooooohhhhh.....aaahhhhhhh ;)

Don't laugh...a cruise isn't complete for us unless we attend one of these "sales"! When we sailed on the Royal back in July we got some nice clothing..and DH always finds a hat or tee shirt that he can't live without..;)

Dave,

 

I know this question has been asked but how do you feel the Royal handles rougher seas in comparison with the Grand class?

 

Thanks so much!

I'd love to know as well since my cabin is going to be high up and very forward.

[yoyosma]

I love the Braciano bags, totes, and duffles they have at the sales. I think I have cornered the market on them.

[dmwnc1959]

I was honored to be among 17 fellow passengers selected for a midmorning tour of the bridge. We spent about an hour being escorted by the Captain and then the 3rd Officer (Luigi). It was incredibly fascinating and informative. Wasn't aware that there was another complete Secondary Bridge on Deck 17 aft. The views were amazing as was the privilege of being among the small group allowed to

 

For lunch I opted to try the Ocean Terrace Seafood Bar again. Complimentary with a drink order (I had the Absolute Citron (1-1/2 ounce pour) was a small sampler dish of Edamame, Wakame, Egg Salad, Herring Salad, Bay Shrimp Salad. I ordered the Seafood Sampler for Two ($20) which included Lobster medallions, two oyster shooters, 2 small Chili and Lime Crab margarita, ahi tuna poke, balik salmon, creme fraiche mustard dill dressing, and brown bread. It was literally OMG good. The sampler tray has to be set on the table since it wouldn't fit on the counter, and everyone wanted to take a picture of it. Chris and Mat from our Roll Call happened to be there as well and had the Oyster Shooters. Someone ordered the oysters on the half shell and I took a picture of that as well.

 

Merengue dance class in the Piazza was a real blast, the instructor quite the cut up, and it was well attended and so much fun to watch, as was the Gangnam Style dance!!!

 

The Royal Afternoon Tea is being set up and it looks wonderful. I know a group from our Roll Call will be enjoying this next week. :D

Congrats on your bridge visit!

 

The seafood looks amazing - I want to be there - miss all the great seafood we had on the Grand on October....

[March Babe]

Did not have the seafood from the Ocean Terrace. Wow, looks like I missed out on a great one. Guess I will just have to do a return trip. Sure am enjoying this thread. :D
