Time for them 'to step up to the plate'. (On MSC the concierges know how much each cabin guest payed). Perhaps this reflects the differing responses to guests requests? I was told that there are between 300 to 350 on board I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Tried to find Hank tonight at the lobby bar but missed him Had an amazing dinner at Sakura. Service was 5 star excellent. Food was lovejy. Loved the lamb outstanding.

Our first evening at Sakura was very much less than satisfactory. Food was great, but service was slow and confused. I really think our experience that night was an unfortunate confusion over some of the orders. Daniella was right on it when we voiced our concern. She graciously requested we come back and she assured us our next experience would be top notch. She even saw us at breakfast at the Emporium and repeated her commitment to us having a superior dinner at Sakura. We dined at Sakura two more nights. Both evenings were outstanding. edited after seeing the recent posts. All four in our party were very much paying passengers.

Rare Hlitner Posted October 4, 2023 Author #235 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Sorry you missed us, but we were sitting in the middle bar seats from about 6 to 8 enjoying some adult libations. Sakura does remain our favorite, but tonight we went back to Marble. I finally tried the prime rib, which was trashed by a previous poster. The menu says “grilled” which is a lot different than the roast expected by we Americans. I thought it was fine, but we are used to European style cooking. Still looking forward to getting together.

Hank I am European but much prefer American steakhouses (USDA and ideally cooked Pittsburgh style). I hope there’s something for us on Marble’s menu 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed plus we found the service comparable to any high end restauran in everyway. The entire service team was professional attentive and superior experience.

Rare Waltershipman Posted October 4, 2023 #242 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Ate breakfast at Emporium Marketplace and it definitely competes with other high end lines I use the word high end to avoid confusion with the word luxury which may be defined by ones tastes Excellent service helpful attentive staff Great wonderful food options FANTASTIC Bagels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW thinks the Normandy butter is salted. But I would bet if one asked for unsalted they would grant your wish. Since they do lots of baking onboard, they would surely be using unsalted. When you get butter in the Emporium or other venues it is provided in individual ramekins. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
