TrojanJulez Posted February 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hi there! I've seen cheese plate and fruit plate options on Princess MDR menus as "always available" and wondered if anyone has a better description or a photo of these options? TIA!

PHOENIXfire Posted February 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2018 No photo here but any waiter worth their salt will get what you want on that plate if it's on the ship. They learned our likes and brought it each time we requested. Hope you get some photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice to know that I can make requests if I find a favorite! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrojanJulez Posted February 17, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted February 17, 2018 https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2577475 Thanks! I actually had a great time reading this thread earlier! I saw the plate with cheese' date=' dried apricots, and almonds but was under the impression that that was an appetizer... was that the dessert?

FritzG Posted February 17, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 17, 2018 DH would frequently order this for dessert in the past. There used to be a variety of cheeses offered each night, but in the last couple of years it's the same cheeses every night so he orders it less often. It used to be a good way to try cheeses he wasn't familiar with; I don't remember what they are now, but they're nothing special. Sometimes you can find a better selection in HC. He loves the walnut bread that they have with the cheeses in HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

558 Posted February 17, 2018 #13 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Try this: Request a few chunky pieces of Grana Padano cheese from your server Pour some olive oil in a plate Sprinkle a few drops of Balsamic Vinegar on the olive oil, Hard crust white bread dipped in above and then place a piece of the cheese on the bread Indulge, you'll think you've died and went to heaven!

Ron the Rev Posted February 17, 2018 #15 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Thanks! I don’t really know what I like but would love the opportunity to try a few new cheeses. It’s nice to know that I can make requests if I find a favorite! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Just request what you want, we go for Parmigiano Reggiano ( you know the cheese they used to use for the basket of Alfredo pasta in a basket {now a thing of the past}. That and a piece of Gorgonzola Dolce and Heaven comes tumbling down. Enjoy. By the way a well placed piece of green paper is always appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Hag Posted February 18, 2018 #20 Share Posted February 18, 2018 https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2577475 I've been wondering what the dessert sampler looked like! Thanks for the share. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getting older slowly Posted February 18, 2018 #21 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Cheese on princess, MDR, IC and at Canapés, all seam pretty ordinary, I was hoping for at least a bit of real cheddar or brie. Is good cheese only available from speciality restaurants ? or do you have to ask for it as it is off menu ? or it is different from ship to ship ? As would love to know for our next cruise, Cheers Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
