minniem Posted January 15, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2016 We are boarding Emerald Princess on the 30th. and there are two of us in the group who have salmon almost ever night. Does anyone know if it can be requested even if it is not on the menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted January 15, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) We are boarding Emerald Princess on the 30th. and there are two of us in the group who have salmon almost ever night. Does anyone know if it can be requested even if it is not on the menu? No, from recent posts it appears its being phased out. It all depends on the ship right now. There is no way to know until you are onboard. Just have to ask if its not on the menu. I love the salmon too!

floridalover5623 Posted January 15, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2016 No it hasn't returned to the Emerald but I assume that you can make special arrangements with a head waiter the day before to request it. We don't usually request anything special but other often do I'm told. They do have salmon on the menu at a standard option on usually one night.

Alicomp Posted January 15, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2016 My husband and I also get salmon and steamed vegetables almost every night in the MDR. I called Princess when I heard it was no longer on the "always available" menu. The CSR I spoke to didn't know it wasn't there any more. She said to request is, as they always have salmon in the kitchen. I don't know if she knew what she was talking about, but we will definitely be asking for it. If its not there, I guess we will have chicken. No comments please about trying other food; Its a health thing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted January 15, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 15, 2016 In December it was not on the every night menu. There was salmon at least one night and it was quite good. I'd agree--request it. The worst they can do is say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLBlack Posted January 15, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 15, 2016 You might ask the type of salmon- there is a huge difference in taste between "Atlantic" and Wild Alaska- The Atlantic tastes like the grain they feed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every piece of salmon that I have had on Princess has been outstanding. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare oskidunker Posted January 15, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I never liked the Salmon as it always had a very fishy taste. Fir that matter,rarely ordered anything on the always available except shrimp cocktail and the burger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamcruzin Posted January 15, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 15, 2016 You might ask the type of salmon- there is a huge difference in taste between "Atlantic" and Wild Alaska- The Atlantic tastes like the grain they feed them. They took it off of the always available menu. What are the odds of getting wild Alaska salmon that costs more. I'm sure it's farm raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted January 15, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 15, 2016 You might ask the type of salmon- there is a huge difference in taste between "Atlantic" and Wild Alaska- The Atlantic tastes like the grain they feed them. Folks seem quite satisified with what was offered previously, and simply wish it were back on the menu. What good will asking do? Especially once you are on the ship? It is like anything served in the dining room, if you don't care for it, simply ask for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icat2000 Posted January 16, 2016 #14 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Salmon was on the every day menu for the Golden Princess I just got off last week. Maybe its different for ships sailing in Australian waters. Big fish eaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridalover5623 Posted January 16, 2016 #16 Share Posted January 16, 2016 What is on the new every day menu? They've substituted 3 Curtis Stone items for them. 2 of them had curry on them which ruined the meal & I didn't have the courage to try the third. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Shelly97060 Posted January 17, 2016 #17 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Sorry to hear salmon is no longer on the always available menu. I always ordered it once or twice a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shrimp salad in the IC also had a curry seasoning on it every other day. Why all the curry lately? I can see one but the number of people that don't like curry should be considered. I like it but my DH does not!! I rarely have it because he cannot even stand the smell of it at the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely have it because he cannot even stand the smell of it at the table. After I ordered the second Curtis Stone dish I couldn't believe it also had curry but luckily it wasn't spread all over the steak slices. I didn't even order the third option on subsequent nights. Fooled me twice. :D People from the UK seem to like curry for some reason. One evening we were eating at the Horizon & I didn't take notice but the smell of curry was strong. After sitting down I discovered that everything had curry on it. :( Needless to say I dumped everything & went to the DR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia is very multicultural, have great food from a variety of countries. Especially in Melbourne. Sometimes the food on Princess can be a little bit bland. I wish they would make some dishes more spicier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchip Posted January 18, 2016 #25 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Sometimes the food on Princess can be a little bit bland. I wish they would make some dishes more spicier. I bring my own hot sauces to spice up some food since Tabasco is the only hot sauce I've seen on Princess. The wait staff is always intrigued.
