ManhattanCruiser Posted November 8, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I've read posts that people have found cheese and crackers at HC... at least I THINK they meant Horizon Court... but I can't recall having seen them at the times I've been there.

chrysalis Posted November 8, 2007 #2 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Breakfast, lunch and dinner, and also in between Seems to me that it is always there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted November 8, 2007 #3 Share Posted November 8, 2007 There is always an area that has platters of cheese, as said, even at breakfast. And crackers are always around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northshorecruisers Posted November 8, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Are there a variety of things at the buffet where we could make a small plate of appetizers to enjoy with wine while getting ready for dinner or sipping wine on our balcony?

cactusrose Posted November 8, 2007 #5 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Are there a variety of things at the buffet where we could make a small plate of appetizers to enjoy with wine while getting ready for dinner or sipping wine on our balcony? Absolutely! We do it every evening which is one of the reasons we put on a few pounds when we cruise:eek: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted November 8, 2007 #8 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Are cheese and crackers available from room service? I think there is a cheese and cracker platter available for a charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasetf Posted November 8, 2007 #9 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I've read posts that people have found cheese and crackers at HC... at least I THINK they meant Horizon Court... but I can't recall having seen them at the times I've been there. I have always found them.... though the crackers are never close by. I miss the deli meats (or at least a nice selection). They seem to be cutting back on things like salami..... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagine1 Posted November 8, 2007 #10 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I fixed a plate of crackers, bread stix and, sometimes, cheese stix along with a nice selection of cheese cubes, olives, carrots, broccoli and other goodies almost every evening to enjoy on the aft deck with our sailaway cocktails. I don't know about breakfast and lunch but the Horizon & Cafe Caribe both had goodies after about 5pm. It's a nice treat and a great way to eat your RDA of veggies :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumbalizw Posted November 8, 2007 #11 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Yes it is nice to have a snack of cheese and biscuits with a nice glass of wine whilst getting ready for the evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted November 8, 2007 #12 Share Posted November 8, 2007 VERY ship dependent. We had wonderful cheeses in the buffet on our Diamond Princess cruise. On our Sun Princess cruise 8 months later it was Kraft slices and saltines in wrappers. The only brie I had on the Sun Princess was a miniscule piece on an hor doerve.

Debathome Posted November 9, 2007 #16 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Sometimes the crackers are a little hard to find. Look in front of the salad bar in little baskets. They usually have melba toast type and butter crackers. Bon Appetite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickee Posted November 9, 2007 #17 Share Posted November 9, 2007 We always love cheese and crackers before dinner and searched for them a couple weeks ago on the Crown. Cubes of cheese and wrapped crackers...not great. And we were disappointed that they had no cheese plate available on room service (except for charge...and it was more party sized) as RCI did. Princess is my favorite line but this was a bit of a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinpeg Posted November 9, 2007 #18 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I have read that you can request the cheese platter that is on the dinner menu.."to go" and take it back to the cabin. That's what I plan to do next week on the CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishywood Posted January 13, 2017 #22 Share Posted January 13, 2017 That's a good idea crusinpeg Sent from my iPhone using Forums Requesting items "to go" from the MDR is absolutely forbidden on Princess now. And pretty sure it was in 2007 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kinkacruiser Posted January 13, 2017 #23 Share Posted January 13, 2017 True. On our recent 21 day cruise, I only saw the 'real' cheese platter only twice....there are so many varieties! There's always trays of processed cheese at the buffet. Sometimes the crackers are stale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JF - retired RRT Posted January 13, 2017 #25 Share Posted January 13, 2017 VERY ship dependent. We had wonderful cheeses in the buffet on our Diamond Princess cruise. On our Sun Princess cruise 8 months later it was Kraft slices and saltines in wrappers. The only brie I had on the Sun Princess was a miniscule piece on an hor doerve. When we first started cruising in 2013 there was Brie available in the HC...a great big chunk to slice a piece from. Haven't seen Brie at all in 4 or 5 cruises (except for dessert in the MDR).
