It is on the French Menu which is also called the "Continental Menu". This menu was not used last year when I was on the Star Princess in the Caribbean - they used a "Caribbean Menu" instead. We did have it in Alaska this summer.

 

If they have it, it will not be on a formal night on a 7 night cruise.

 

What destination are you going to? IF you are going on a 7 night Caribbean, it may not be on it. This last year, they seemed to substitute the "Caribbean Menu" for the French/Continental Menu" on the 7 night Caribbean sailings.

We are on the Eastern Cruise..they have a Caribbean night but no French night( maybe the menus I printed up are out dated)..Maybe someone who has just cruised the Caribbean can help me out?

Princess no longer calls it French Night - I believe it's called Continental Night. It's not featured on the Caribbean Princess, the Caribbean menu replaces it.

But if memory serves DH has had it on the CB on both of our cruises.

This past year, I sailed to the Caribbean twice and escargot was not on the menu on either sailing.

Were you on the Caribbean Princess? Anyway I just saw that they offer Clams Casino which in my opinion is a close second!!

I am sorry I should have added we were on the CB Eastern Caribbean route - on the 8/6/05 sailing

We learned something interesting about the escargot on our last sailing. My husband has a nut allergy. As usual, the head waiter came over to discuss his allergy. He was told that, other that the desserts, the only thing that had nuts in it was the escargot! I never would have guessed that there were nuts in the sauce. So they graciously prepared 2 orders for him, without nuts.

Well, we did the Southern Caribbean on the Golden last April. French Night was replaced with Caribbean Night (that was pretty good, actually) and we were disappointed because we thought we'd miss the escargot. No reason to fear, however -- it turned up as an appetizer on the 2nd formal night. A lot of epople look forward to it and, let's face it, it's not an item you see on many menus at home, so imagine they try to fit it in somewhere. If you' re going to make reservations for one of the alternative restaurants, just ask the person taking your reservation which night the escargot appears, so you won't miss it.

That is good that they added it to formal night. I thought it disappeared it when the French menu disappeared from the Caribbean menus.
