DonnaK Posted August 17, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2008 We're sailing on the CB next week. I've been looking over the various menus that have been posted, and I couldn't find escargot. Do they not offer escargot??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob & Beckys mom Posted August 17, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Just ask your waiter when escargot will be available, it's not always on the menu:eek: . They will make sure that you get that most wonderful appetizer:D . Actually, anything that you would like & is not on the menu can probably be made...just ask nicely. Have a wonderful cruise.

paul929207 Posted August 17, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 17, 2008 We had escargot on the Tahitian last month. I can't remember which night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted August 17, 2008 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2008 You have to let them know ahead of time, it is not listed on the menu anymore. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattiG Posted August 17, 2008 #8 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I was on the Crown in May and escargot was on the menu -- I think it was on the French night -- along with French onion soup and duck l'orange. Absolutely delicious. I also had two orders of escarot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted August 17, 2008 #11 Share Posted August 17, 2008 It was definitely on the menu on CB in May. I can't remember which evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcacace Posted August 17, 2008 #13 Share Posted August 17, 2008 On the Dawn Princess in June it was on the Continental dinner evening but on most ships they offer it on French cuisine night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted August 17, 2008 Author #14 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Thanks for all the replies. I suppose the best thing to do is what the first person suggested: ask which night it is on the menu, and then I'll know to special request it if it's not on any menu.

Colo Cruiser Posted August 17, 2008 #15 Share Posted August 17, 2008 On the Dawn Princess in June it was on the Continental dinner evening but on most ships they offer it on French cuisine night. Just goes to show you each ship is so different. On the Crown/Emerald we were told it is no longer on the menus at all but can be requested thenight before. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbeckett Posted August 17, 2008 #16 Share Posted August 17, 2008 If you really like escargots ask nicely if you can have them for the rest of the cruise. I did, and got them till I said enough! They were often brought out by the Maitre d'. As said above it was on the French/Continental night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also on the menu on the Tahitian last month. Seems like it is on the menu more often than not but I guess it pays to ask just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmond90 Posted August 17, 2008 #19 Share Posted August 17, 2008 We had to ask for it on the Crown. They said they needed 24 hours. We asked the first night. the next night we had 6 settings at our table. Then 3 every night for the rest of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netta7 Posted August 17, 2008 #20 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Escargot was on the menu last week on the CB. One of the menus about half way into the sailing was French cuisine. Appetizers included escargot and French onion soup. The entrees I can remember from that night were veal cordon bleu, frogs legs, and a duck dish (duck ala orange?). I had the veal and it was good, but not to die for. The onion soup was outstanding. Enjoy your cruise. Netta7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted August 17, 2008 #22 Share Posted August 17, 2008 On the Dawn Princess in June it was on the Continental dinner evening but on most ships they offer it on French cuisine night. I believe Princess re-named their French menu to the Continental menu after the start of the Iraq War in March 2003 when some people got their knickers in a knot over anything called "French".

Go-Bucks! Posted August 17, 2008 #24 Share Posted August 17, 2008 They most certainly do and the escargot is wonderful. I had two. :) I just automatically order 2 orders! :eek: One time, our entire table ordered 2 each. Soooooooooo good!!! Even my very picky daughter, who made a nasty face when asked if she wanted some, tried one and loved them - then ordered a plate of them for herself. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kool kruiser Posted August 18, 2008 #25 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Just back from the crown. Definitely on continental/French night. IMHO this was the best menu of the cruise. Escargot to start, then French Onion soup, then duck a l'orange finished off with raspberry creme brulee. Every dish was superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
