shuguley Posted July 22 #1 Share Posted July 22 We have had great discussions about our favorite Regent restaurants and favorite dishes but I do not remember seeing anything about favorite canapés. It would be interesting to read what others put at the top of their list. To start it off, we like the chips and salsa (which includes fresh guacamole). This treat goes really well with an afternoon malt beverage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolechick Posted July 23 #4 Share Posted July 23 I like the prosciutto wrapped melon with the little breadstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Sweethearts Posted July 23 #5 Share Posted July 23 Spanakopita with Tzatziki sauce requested through your butler for something to nibble on in your suite while dressing for dinner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portolan Posted July 23 #7 Share Posted July 23 Not, per se, canapes, but for lighter bites we love the lobster nachos and the jalapeno shrimp skewers at the Pool Bar . Both of which could be carried back to your suite to enjoy (we are seldom in butled suites). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaflamingo Posted July 23 #8 Share Posted July 23 We liked the Spanish plate... Can't remember all that was on it, but it's obvious when asking your butler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare GMIAC Posted July 23 #9 Share Posted July 23 I'm a good eater, and look forward to dinners every night. My question is how do people have room for dinner after canapés? We were recently in the Splendor Suite on our Iceland cruise, and were eligible for these, but between tours, trivia, and dinnertime, there was no time for this! For that matter, how/why do people do afternoon tea, and still want dinner two hours later? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lew- Posted July 23 #10 Share Posted July 23 If we return to the ship early afternoon, we'll usually order a charcuterie board or something else from room service to enjoy on our balcony rather than go up to the pool restaurant for lunch. I agree, afternoon tea is a real appetite killer...maybe once per cruise when we plan to skip dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's mind over matter, but going in to dinner when not hungry and just ordering a couple light things wouldn't feel like a "proper" dinner to me. We didn't use our butler at all during this cruise. We told him at the beginning that we're low-maintenance, but by mid-cruise he was wondering if we were unhappy with him for some reason, because we never contacted him. We're also the types who leave the room for the day cleaner than after the housekeepers leave. It's just force of habit. Passing other rooms and glancing in we found out we're in the minority, and wonder why we weren't awakened the night before by the hurricane that destroyed the other rooms. I always wonder what those people's houses look like. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our recent Alaska cruise, we came in cold,wet, and hungry right about when tea started at least three times. Sitting down with a hot cuppa and a clotted cream smeared scone was a wonderful treat. It gave us the energy to shower and dress and make it to the restaurant for a 7:00-ish dinner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flossie009 Posted July 24 #14 Share Posted July 24 Very impressed with the canapés & snacks being offered in the bars pre-dinner on Voyager. Yesterday evening included mini empanadas and spicy meatballs 😋 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mj_holiday Posted July 24 #15 Share Posted July 24 The canapes flossie009 showed are much more impressive than what we were offered on our Explorer this spring. but we were getting ready to go into dinner so we also really didn't need anything to eat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love clotted cream and scones. I wonder if this is served often on afternoon teas. We will be on the Grandeur in September so we will be on the lookout for it.

The other sweet and savory choices change from day to day, but you can count on the scones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been known to go to the tea at 4pm, grab a couple of scones w clotted cream, and carry them up to the Observation Lounge in time for trivia at 4:30 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the set up for tea, you might need to look around a bit to find them. They are kept in a warmer, sometimes on the bar counter. If you don't find them, just ask.
