I would be happy with this breakfast any day of the week. Was service fairly reasonable as far as time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small line to enter about 8:45, we have a table for two, and are finishing up our meal right now at 9:13. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sonomaphil Posted February 4 Author #104 Share Posted February 4 Menu at The Catch by Rudi. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XBGuy Posted February 4 #105 Share Posted February 4 I am looking forward to our first visit to The Catch. A quick question to anybody in the know. I notice that several of the menu items have an asterisk (*), but I can't see a footnote at the bottom of the page that explains the asterisk. Does anybody know what that denotes? I had to chuckle when I saw that the menu included Oysters on the Half Shell. Our one Royal Class cruise was on the Royal Princess some years ago. Prior to the cruise we were pretty excited to see that Oysters on the Half Shell were offered in the Ocean Terrace seafood bar, On the second or third day of our cruise we made our way to the Ocean Terrace. We found seats (it was, actually, pretty busy). and a waiter came over. As much as we like oysters on the half shell, my wife is pretty fussy. So, after I ordered a bottle of Albarino, she asked, "Where are your oysters from?" "Texas," was the reply. I immediately thought, "Uh oh. Well, this is September, and, so, there is an 'R' in this month." No go, We did not order oysters. Mrs, XBGuy will only eat oysters from cold waters. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzDayz Posted February 4 #106 Share Posted February 4 You are off to a great start of your cruise. If Leo Rossi is on this week, he does a very interesting talk on his life in the rock 'n' roll business.We saw most of the shows that he talks about, so it brings back some good memories for me. Have a fun day. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly (totally possible that I don't) the asterisk is the warning about raw/undercooked food 😄 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbypiggy Posted February 4 #109 Share Posted February 4 Thank you for all the information!! We will be on Discovery doing 3 b2b2b starting on 2/24. Two 7-day Mexican Riviera and one 7-day Pacific Coastal. In November 2022, we did the 7-day Mexican Riviera on Discovery Princess, and truly enjoyed it, so we are doing it again. We always pre-order bottled water before our cruise starts. When we were on the Discovery in November 2022, we noticed at the entrance to the buffet, there is a nice water machine there (see picture below). If that machine is still on Discovery Princess, then we will not pre-order bottled water this time. We will just get water from that machine. The next time you go to the buffet, please kindly check if that machine is still there. TIA!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted February 4 #124 Share Posted February 4 (edited) Got to make use of all the "perks" for the packages. Doubt there is a single person in line who is going to shell out $12.99 for one of those sundaes. On a longer cruise, the passengers are more spread out over the days. I'm a one and done.
