scottam Posted January 13, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hi Everyone, Does anyone know which ships offer the Wheelhouse Bar Pub Lunch? I'm specifically interested in Island Princess. So far, I've only read it mentioned in reviews/reports of Emerald and Ruby, and the Princess info that I found does not say which ships. Thanks for your help!

territax Posted January 13, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2009 We just got off the Crown Princess on 1/11/09 and they had the pub lunch on that ship. It was very good, they had it on both sea days and we went both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammy AFAIK, only the two you mentioned and the Crown. Don't know whether they've added it yet to the Caribbean. Definitely not on the Island.

The Pub Lunch does get crowed. Was there a cost for it? No cost for the Pub Lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinCruiserMom Posted January 13, 2009 #9 Share Posted January 13, 2009 On the Emerald it was on the last two sea days. I don't think it was crowded, but there is a chance you may have to wait on a table. I never heard reservations offered and I doubt if it is a choice. There is no extra cost for this lunch. The fish and chips were so delicious that DH went back the second day and had it again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox Fan Cruiser Posted January 13, 2009 #10 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Do you know if it was available every day or just sea days? Yes, only on sea days. Hopefully they expand it to every day but probably not worth it as most of the passengers would be off the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepWaterMariner Posted January 13, 2009 #11 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Sounds like another thing I'll add to my must do list for the upcoming Emerald cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second time -- no band -- was a bit more subdued. No cost nor wait for us either days. The fish and chips really were pretty darn good, although I can't comment on the mushy peas!

Pia1913 Posted January 13, 2009 #13 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I found it interesting, but really not worth the hassle. With the limited menu, the crowds and not enough comfortable seating, it was nice trying it once, but I wouldn't go back for seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted January 13, 2009 #14 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Is it advertised in the Patters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
territax Posted January 13, 2009 #15 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Yes, it was listed in the Patters. We just had a piano player playing in there. There was usually a small line and they only had it on the 2 sea days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol_Hill Posted January 13, 2009 #16 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Mushy peas are the traditional accompaniment to fish & chips! We may well check it out in October.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted January 13, 2009 #17 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Did the band play typical pub diddies or was it modern stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodmnky Posted January 14, 2009 #18 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Did the band play typical pub diddies or was it modern stuff? The band on our cruise played typical oldies type music. Fish & Chips were very good, Shepards Pie was OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phamer55 Posted January 14, 2009 #19 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Any special beers there that you normally can't get? This does not include Guinness, Bass, & Harp because you can often get those elsewhere. I'm thinking Kilkenny, John Smiths, Tetleys, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have Stella on tap now (on the Ruby anyway) and it's served in the wheelhouse. It was nice to have draft beer. And I really liked the mushy peas (basically looks like green mashed potatoes) and didn't know what they were. I was shocked when I asked and they told me they were peas. I hate peas!!! :D I would go back in a heart beat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northender Posted January 14, 2009 #24 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Sounds like fun. Another item on the list. :D Fish & Chips, Shepards Pie, Bangers & Mash. Maybe I can reserve a barstool:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovesAlan Posted January 2, 2012 #25 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I was wondering the same question that was asked back in 2009. DH and I are going on Panama cruise 1/8/12 on the Island Princess, has anyone got an idea if there is a Pub lunch on that cruise? Thanks, L.
