Locally Caught And Cooked To Order Onboard ?

[MTJSR]

While taking a Sitmar cruise many years ago in Alaska, some passengers caught fish and had it prepared onboard for them. I assume that is not possible these days, but one never knows. Has anyone had that kind of service provided on any of these bigger ships with many more passengers ?

Princess does not do this. Sorry.:(

Besides.... who could eat a whole salmon in one sitting. :eek:

Thank you. Just mentioning Sitmar brought a big smile to my face.:)

We had this done 4 years ago on the Diamond Princess. We asked our head-waiter the night before and he told us how to bring the fillets back onto the ship and where to take them. The fish was cooked and beautifully presented in the dining room that night.

However, if you are on a Princess excursion it is all catch and release...

I have seen this done on Princess in Alaska.

 

I would ask the head waiter before going on your fishing trip.

I, too, have heard of this on our Princess cruise a few years ago. I thought it was a neat thing. We didn't do it, we just kayaked and the salmon were jumping out of the water and you could almost touch them!! This was around the first week of August.

Thank you. I would imagine even a stubborn head waiter might find a nice tip persuasive as long as everyone wasn't asking for the same thing.

I too have heard of this done so as the others have said, you should check with the Maitre D beforehand.
