You won't get one from display, they come from the kitchen behind. And this is what came out. I was a little surprised as well. I had much much better Cubanas on Princess ships. Yes, I know that, just like the cookies at McDonald's in their case, but even their food displays don't entice me. Isn't that the point of a display case (or a commercial)? Maybe not so much...cruisers will bypass the included food. Can't figure Princess out. Edited October 19, 2023 by cheetosrevil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, I think food display at International Cafe was always very well before Covid. After restart, it was still,well, ok. You can't expect top notch. And now we're here. Sad.

Rare LACruiser88 Posted October 20, 2023 #29 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Being Cuban- born I have to correct the name of the sandwich, it is a Cubano, not a Cubana. 🤷♂️ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheetosrevil Posted October 20, 2023 #36 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) FWIW There’s a strong Italian influence in the early days of Tampa and I believe that’s where the addition stems from.

fabby50 Posted October 20, 2023 #37 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I can't remember, does Princess have a sandwich making station on the buffet? Maybe we can all get our favorites made there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be on her two weeks from tomorrow and plan to check it out. We'll see how "cheffy" I become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vakamalua Posted October 20, 2023 #40 Share Posted October 20, 2023 We’ll be on the November 4 too. Usually pass on IC sandwiches or eat them open-faced—too much bread in relation to the fillings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never get the sandwich you posted--it almost looks like roast beef lunchmeat. I still love Princess, but so many of their decisions alienate loyal customers and I struggle to figure out how they're enticing new ones. The image from post 6 was taken on 10-12-2022, Ruby Princess........the image below was taken 12-12-2022, Enchanted Princess. Sorry, I didn't take any images of the Cuban sandwich this year.
