We think it's worth it, especially for when we were in inside cabins. Fair enough. Tried an inside cabin once, claustrophobic. So went to ocean view cabins then the last dozen or so cruises it was balcony or mini suite, you can never go back from the latter.

Like business class on an aircraft you can never go back to economy, We've been going between inside cabins and balcony cabins ever since we started cruising without any problems. We rarely spend much time in our cabin if the ship has nice public areas like Princess. On Celebrity we had balcony cabins as then we got the drinks package included - it worked out only marginally dearer. However from now on we only have balcony cabins booked, just in case there is a virus outbreak onboard. I don't think I could stand getting stuck in an inside cabin for days on end. It is harder to go back to economy class after business class, especially as we're older and less able to handle the discomforts. But we've had to do it when we wanted to travel long distance as business fares became ridiculously expensive on most airlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikeanswers Posted January 21, 2021 #28 Share Posted January 21, 2021 My most memorable sandwich was probably a set of bao buns I had a pop store at the local food festival. Nice fluffy buns with beautiful spiced meat and fresh herbs 😋. Otherwise I can't say I have had sandwiches that blew my mind 🤔. The most unusual has to be the Japanese fruit sandwich which I did enjoy but in a way it is more like a cake than sandwich. In Japan I also tried the mythical convenience store egg sandwich😂. I will say they do it better than any I had in Australia. I think it is the Kewpie that makes the difference. In Miami I had a Cubano that I enjoyed and around Serbia I did find their Chevapi rolls to be tasty enough with lots of raw onion. The one we had in Nis was my favourite.

Elorac123 Posted January 21, 2021 #29 Share Posted January 21, 2021 All time favourite for me is lots of very crispy bacon and lots of blue cheese and then pan toasted in butter. Cheers Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask for a doubler mate - 2 snags, 2 bits of bread and pay double, all to a good cause. I am not a big Bunnings fan, probably go there about every 3 months, but when I do I take a couple of slices of GF bread for the snag (s), they don't give me a discount though for using my own bread, lol.

King prawns on fresh breadrolls, with heaps of butter, which we made ourselves on a fresh seafood day in the buffet. It's amazing how many prawns can be crammed into one small bread roll. It IS amazing just how many king prawns on of those rolls could fit - was a favourite lunchtime treat of ours too on the Maasdam ( we sailed from Sydney to Auckland in Feb last year) .

Rare lyndarra Posted January 23, 2021 #45 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Subway is becoming a regular lunch for me on Saturdays. I grab one on the way to my windsurfing spot. Usually 6" turkey and cranberry or chicken teriyaki on rye with all salads including beetroot and jalapenos, pepper, no salt plus chili sauce (not sweet) and a bottle of Pepsi Max or Diet Coke. I have tried pies or pasties but they don't sit well on the tummy when sailing as it's quite physical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted January 23, 2021 #46 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I haven't had too many sandwiches while cruising, but the best would have been on X with a club sandwich. but it was a MDR lunch and came with chips. Close second would be P&O's club also a lunch in the MDR. I like sandwiches freshly made, otherwise (more than 1/2 hour) they need to be toasted.

I don't mind the occasional Subway meal, I liked the ham or turkey with all the salads on Oat, grilled with swiss cheese, but they don't have Oat at many stores anymore so Malted rye instead now.

I too always had the Honey/Oat until they dropped it. I thought they dropped Swiss cheese too. I have Old English now. BTW I resented having to pay extra for beetroot.

NSWP Posted January 23, 2021 #49 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) We have a Subway outlet in Batemans Bay CBD, they don't have GF Bread rolls but they have GF Wraps, I have one of those now and again, meat, cheese and salad, the works. No extra charge for beetroot either, not heard that one before. Edited January 23, 2021 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
