I tried a new item on the lunch menu today, the plant-based chicken tacos.  They were really good.  I had several servers asking me how they were as it was the first time they had seen them on the menu.

 

And an answer to the question of Chilula onboard!

Wow! Is Majestic getting a new menu for 2024 or is this just offerings for your sailing? Not sailing on her until August for an Alaska cruise, but if plant-based chicken tacos were on my menu, I'd be pretty pleased

We were told by the DRO that this is the new menu.  They will be offering plant-based items going forward.  The photo is actually plant-based chicken burritos, I had the tacos earlier in the cruise.

 

Btw, we are now 4 hours behind PST.

12:27 pm in LA, 8:27 am here.

The Cholula is from my personal travel kit, not from the ship.  🤪

I have a question, do you prefer seeing a photo of the actual menu or the app version???

 

Here is tonights dinner menu for comparison.

 

I prefer the actual menu, and thanks for posting them!

The makings of an egg sandwich.

 

The result!  Btw, Harmony has Louisiana Hot Sauce.  Not bad...

I prefer the actual menus too... and if the menus on Crown Princess are anything like what you've been posting then we are in for a treat in December! some of those dishes are making me hungry!

The streaming on the stateroom TV has worked great.  This is the first time I've used our Universal remote ($9 on Amazon) to change the input to HDMI.  So much easier than messing with the toggle switch on the bottom of the TV.

Today was Pub Lunch in the dining room.  Our Asst. Restaurant Manager was making Shrimp all' Arrabbiata in the dining room.  It was great!

 

 

Debbie had the Fish & Chips

 

I had the Vegetable Biryani

 

 

Not having a Sanctuary is killing my daily calorie intake!  But, I did spend an hour on the elliptical machine.

Yes, we will be in Honolulu on May 1st.  Then it will be 6 sea days to Vancouver.

The extra dish tonight in the Reserve Dining Room was grilled lamb Chops.

 

Tomorrow night we are returning to The Catch!

Tahiti and Moorea are on the same time so they will soon be on their usual timezone.

We were supposed to be there on "Lei Day" but due to port congestion Honolulu got moved to the 2nd and we got Moorea instead of Kona.

@LACruiser88  You must like The Catch.  Any recommendations? I am on Majestic from Seatle soon and have reserved.  BTW, thanks for this live thread!

Yes, we really do enjoy The Catch.  On our recent Med/TA on the Enchanted we dined there 5 times!

 

We have liked all that we have tried, usually the Catch of the Day is a favorite.  So is the Dover Sole and the Crab Cakes, and the garlic fries!

Any fun suggestions for the day in Papeete?  We’re interested in water activities.

We have been to Papeete at least 6 times.  The best day we had there was when we rented a car and drove around the island.  We found several nice beaches.  A couple of times we took the ferry to Moorea for a beach day.

 

On this trip, we are going black pearl shopping with a senior staff officer.  He has enlisted Debbie as his negotiator.  Her specialty!  No plans for our second day? 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the reminder!  I made the Moorea change on our cabins wall calendar but forgot to change Honolulu.

Yummmmm, I love sole  I am leaning toward getting that.

Good morning Sea Day #4!  Looks like we finally made it to warm Island weather!  Pools should be busy today!

 

 

[LACruiser88]

Looks like we might have some rain in Papeete.

When we were in French Polynesia in February for 12 days rain was forecast every day.  And we ended up getting a little drizzle one day.  Hope it works out that way for you too!
