Is it because they would have to bake too many if we knew they were?! haha 🙂 I first had the cinnamon sugar donut when we got the balcony breakfast delivered to our cabin. Then I would find it at the IC pretty much every other day or so, but not every day. Bummer! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last call on the balcony back in the room. Sleep. Salads appear to no longer be IC items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh & depending on the ship they either have a toaster oven or panini press to heat sandwiches etc for you...some ships they do that automatically, the last one I was on they didn't offer but if you knew to ask they would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance1224 Posted July 13, 2023 #29 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Hi, I was at the IC very early between 6-7 am. A cart loaded with fresh donuts would be rolled out. Some of the donuts would be delivered to the IC and the remainder would were on the way to the bridge. DW's favorite cookie, double chocolate, I am a sucker for the cinnamon and chocolate donuts. Another favorite is the egg McMuffin without the meat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyoftheseas Posted July 13, 2023 #31 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Both me and my husband agree with the about post the Caprese sandwich is delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabby50 Posted July 13, 2023 #32 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I like the caprese sandwich, also the watermelon and feta salad. They used to have a "croissant of the day", but last time I cruised, they didn't vary them that often. I get Americanos and bring my own flavorings.

Rare Cruise Raider Posted July 13, 2023 #36 Share Posted July 13, 2023 @kluv2cruz .. you are I are exactly the same! Only those porcelain cups and saucer for my cappuccino in the morning. I also love the egg bites .. all three varieties. That green smoothie item is also pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fliz52 Posted July 13, 2023 #37 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I loved the quiche and those egg rolls. Husband always had the drinking chocolate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG&Lcruisingnewbies Posted July 13, 2023 #38 Share Posted July 13, 2023 This is making me hungry! Think I might camp out at the IC and try a bit of everything mentioned so far…. it’s ok, our cabin is Aft- we can walk off the calories getting to & from the cabin 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lady Arwen Posted July 13, 2023 #39 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Quiche, almond croissant and vanilla latte for me. DH has the same, except with black coffee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellipooh Posted July 15, 2023 #40 Share Posted July 15, 2023 DH’s favorite part of the cruise was when his DW would visit the IC and return with a Red Eye and warmed Almond Croissant for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleanor Rigby 14 Posted July 15, 2023 #42 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Glad to hear that there are others who prefer a China cup for their cappuccino. It’s extra special when there’s a pretty design in the foam of course! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted July 15, 2023 #43 Share Posted July 15, 2023 They start removing breakfast items around 10 AM. They remove lunch items around 8/9 PM and replace with cheese and fruit. I see that no one has mentioned soups of the day. The salads were good (beet/oranges, greens, others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombud Posted July 15, 2023 #44 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Almond croissants, mozzarella & tomato panini, vanilla leaf tea ..... but I really like the key lime pot on the app. Reminds me if Meyer lemon pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kluv2cruz Posted July 15, 2023 #46 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) I have a great IC memory… from a few years ago. We did the there and back from/to west coast North America / Hawaii sailing. We were to leave Honolulu and Hawaii at midnight, then 5 sea days. Roommate had a migraine (ugh… poor thing) so she went back to the ship and I stayed walking around Waikiki as long as logical then took a bus back to the ship around 10:30/11pm. Easy onboard, now 11:20ish. I went straight to IC. In those days… and truthfully, I don’t usually stay up this late anymore so not positive it’s not still available, they had cheese and nuts and dried fruit and crackers. I asked for this and that and filled a side plate. Got a glass of wine and headed to the room. Quietly (as much as possible), snuck into the room and dropped my things and headed to the balcony. Sat outside crunching walnuts, savouring cheese, dried fruit etc and sipped my wine as we set sail and I emotionally said good bye to the sparkly lights of Honolulu & Waikiki. Have since sailed this many times (usually a one way sailing on X) and always sad to say goodbye to that last port. But, I always think of this IC deliciousness!

Redwing55 Posted July 15, 2023 #47 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Gotta admit, IC doesn't have a ton of items, but more than one thinks (just read this thread.) I consider it a small, but pretty large reason why I enjoy the Princess line. True, I haven't sailed on the few ships that don't have the IC. Here's hoping it doesn't go away soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Kellyansapansa Posted July 15, 2023 #49 Share Posted July 15, 2023 My two favourite items are the little single serve chocolate mousses and the crumbles. I also love the cupcakes but they seem to be available in the buffet more often than the International Cafe. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frflatt Posted July 15, 2023 #50 Share Posted July 15, 2023 We always loved the IC and often have breakfast there or head straight there after returning to the ship for a snack - it’s one of the many reasons we love Princess Cruises! For years my partner’s go to sandwich has been the Cubana and we usually have one of the lovely salads. For breakfast I love almond croissant and Geoff really likes a Breton - though we haven’t seen those in the last few cruises. We were on the Sky Princess a couple of weeks ago and the seem to have changed the selection available at the IC. There were no Cubanas, only salad available was a green salad (just salad leaves) with a choice of dressings, the whole sandwich selection was different - some ok and some not good. The deserts were disappointing and the almond croissants were left in the oven until they were hard. Flat whites were served in a latte glass and it was impossible to tell the difference between them and a latte - too much milk - I had to be very specific with them how we wanted it made. Just hoping it was a blip and on our next cruise everything will be back to normal - 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
