We actually didn’t have one on the 20th, they moved it to the 22nd so who knows when the next one’s will actually be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa Maria is hit or miss as they are discontinuing it by the glass. Anyone have an updated wine list on Reflection as we’ll be onboard in early Jan. Say what?? That’s the only decent SB on the ships…always my go to. Did they say why it’s not going to be available by the glass? And is it perhaps just the Apex? Hope they replace it then with another NZ SB…so many to choose from and they really do it the best 🥂 🇳🇿 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted October 23, 2023 Author #54 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Tonight’s off menu special is a crab encrusted redfish. Very delicious. our waiter said it was the first time it’s been offered. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted October 23, 2023 #55 Share Posted October 23, 2023 What do you mean by "off menu"? The waiter just tells you what is available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakegirl Posted October 23, 2023 #56 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I remember a time when there were soufflés offered for dessert occasionally. They weren’t on the printed menu, and the waiter would just say “tonight we have a special dessert for you,” that being chocolate soufflé, or Grand Marnier soufflé. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s something not listed on the printed menu or the app. You can’t find out about it ahead of time. The waiter just tells you if it’s being offered that night.

Rare cruisestitch Posted October 24, 2023 Author #59 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Correction to my earlier post. There are two Captains Club parties and there are two formal nights back to back, but they are not the same. One Captains Club party is on a formal night, one is not. so there goes that idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re leaving on Beyond TA Monday 10/30. Seas have been tolerable although the ship’s motion plays havoc with the water in the pools. Cooler today and tomorrow than it was before that in the Med. who knows what you will experience several days from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallens Posted October 25, 2023 #63 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Can you let me know the high temperature and wind speed tomorrow? Unless things have changed (haven’t cruised since pre-pandemic, late 2019), captain will usually announce ship’s position and weather at noon every day at sea. I realize this may change significantly between now and next week, but at least it will give me a ballpark figure for packing purposes. Thanks.

Dallens Posted October 25, 2023 #65 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I remember a time in the early 1990’s when Princess offered a different soufflé EVERY night of the cruise and frequent desserts like cherries jubilee and bananas foster prepared table side. Those were the days! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beginning next cruise, definitely no Villa Maria SB by the glass. They “think” once they arrive in FLL after the NZ SB will be offered but no guarantee. Hence why I’m inquiring on other ship threads about the changeover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. 73° and 13 foot seas but I don’t see how that can help you at all because there’s no way of knowing if you will be on an itinerary anywhere near our itinerary.

SI Cruiser Posted October 25, 2023 #70 Share Posted October 25, 2023 The forecast from Windy for next week shows seas growing to 20 to 25 feet from Europe to U.S. If that is indeed the case outside temperature will not matter as access to the outside decks will not be permitted.
