Robkat Posted Wednesday at 06:37 PM #227 Share Posted Wednesday at 06:37 PM Enjoying your review and photos @ceilidh1. You mentioned that the Crab Shack was only available for 1 day at lunch on this cruise. Could you let us know where they were to be setting up ... back of the buffet seating? Also, sorry to hear about your very long wait between courses at Sabatini's last night. Why do you think that was? Was the restaurant full and very busy (mostly with Premier package people)? Did you feel they were sufficiently staffed? What was the atmosphere like ... did things appear to be stressed and overly busy? Continue to enjoy.

I had a chef named Dirk as well, but maybe not the same surname. My bad, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabatinis was definitely full last night when I was there. It wasn’t stressful and service was good - just food slow coming out of the kitchen. The gent on the next table managed to nap between courses…I was in there over 2 hours and didn’t have a starter or dessert…that’s how slow it was ! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted Wednesday at 07:04 PM Author #231 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:04 PM I didn’t feel like pizza (but really did want those veal deliciousness) and since Alfredo’s is next to the gangway, it was freezing down there. I headed up to deck 14 instead and grabbed the cheese bacon fries and a grilled chicken sandwich. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they now including Crab Shack as a Casual Dining option when you have the Premier package? On our Emerald cruise a couple of months ago, Planks and Steamers alternated for most of the cruise, and were included in Casual Dining. But when Crab Shack was available, there was a sign stating that there was a cover charge, and that it was NOT considered as part of the Casual Dining options. With the new Premier unlimited casual dining AND SD, we hoped they might start including CS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted Wednesday at 07:39 PM Author #235 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:39 PM This is one of the new cocktails - Hot Pants - but I asked for it without jalapeños so I guess it’s just Pants (that made me laugh way more than it should) 3 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does that mean there's no charge for it on the new Premier package? We've seen it listed under Specialty Dining, and our first thought was that we would now have it included without paying a cover charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that’s what I was told. I’m going to try to go tomorrow so will let you know 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted Wednesday at 09:03 PM Author #240 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:03 PM PSA…Good Spirits have very few of the top shelf (premium package) spirits. No Zacapa. No Woodford Reserve. No expensive champagne. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare talkorpi Posted Wednesday at 09:48 PM #245 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:48 PM (edited) So I bought ten mini bottles of maple syrup from one of the tourist trap shops downtown for friends and coworkers and then I took the hike to Thrifty Foods to buy a giant bottle of the good stuff for the house. I think I won’t need any syrup for a while! Back onboard and about to head down to the afternoon game shows and trivia. I have a tradition of somehow winning the first trivia of each cruise that I broke this sailing because of how late it was last night. Let’s see if I can win one before the sailing ends. Wish me luck! 😆 Edited Wednesday at 09:49 PM by talkorpi 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VibeGuy Posted Wednesday at 09:50 PM #246 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:50 PM If you want to drink top shelf, ask them to make two daiquiris with Wray & Nephew as follows: 2 oz Wray & Nephew 0.5 oz fresh lime juice 0.5 oz simple syrup Shake with ice Serve up Hemingway Daiquiri: 1 part Luxardo 2 parts grapefruit 3 parts lime 3 parts simple (or less) 6 parts Wray & Nephew Shake with ice, serve up. These are delicious and go down very. Very easily. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
