Cruising Good Friday

[jabbawocky]

Just wondering is there a special seafood feast normally on when sailing on Good Friday?

Not that I remember. But there is always plenty of seafood on the menus.

As always, and based on 20+years on Radisson/Regent ships--

 

You want a special meal to commemorate/recognize/honor a religious observance?  Let-alone dietary, cultural, health, or whatever:

 

Simply ask Compass Rose Management.  Provide at-least 24 hours notice.  Better-yet, 48 hours.  Assuming your request is within the bounds of common sense--and the Kitchen's ability to put together ingredients without need to call-in a helicopter dispatched from the closest Port for a drop--

 

You will receive a positive response in the form of "Of course".  Then, follow-through by showing up to enjoy results. 

 

We have done so when ordering something as simple as a "special" pasta dinner.  Have noted others have given appropriate notice as to, for example, an Indian dinner. 

 

Others on this site will probably cite similar experiences.  

 

Personal example:  When last-year on Navigator, had dinner at Compass Rose with the Food and Beverage Manager--at his invitation.  A guy with roots in South Africa.  Soos, during that repast, he asked if we would join him about a week later for another Rose dinner during which all courses would be centered around traditional South African dishes--with paired South African wines. 

 

Of course. 

 

A notable experience it was. 

 

Just "Food" for Thought. 

 

GOARMY!

Excellent response @GOARMY summing up one of the most delightful aspects of being on board a Regent ship and one we have enjoyed and appreciated with friends  on several occasions.

"Of course" 🥰

Not that I remember but as CWN points out there are several fish dishes.  We were also underwhelmed with the dinner Easter offerings at Compass Rose.  There may have been a large Easter Brunch festivity we missed so be on the look out for that.

 

There was a private Passover (seder I'm guessing) dinner for a large group at La Veranda.  It might be possible to have a private dinner set up if interest was large enough.  I'm not sure how one would orchestrate that.

POC would be, initially the Compass Rose Dining Room Manager and/or Food and Beverage Manager.  

 

GOARMY!
