I love Grilled or Roasted Asp. with a light coat of EVOO & Sea Salt

Good ! Many lines have set times when to release information to passengers.

Typical it is designated as a Gala Evening. On the QM2, some masks are sold in the shops if they have them available. We got them before we left for the trip since you have a bigger chance of getting what you would like to select.

Great with a deluxe salad. Cold Iceberg Lettuce, Crisp Bacon, Dressing, Tomato etc.....

I think of James Bond - Diamonds Are Forever........Bondish.......

Our Favorite Blueberry Ice Cream in Bar Harbor.. Know there can be better......Have to search the World..

i always describe to all when we go on board Gala Evenings are like experiencing a James Bondish feeling with all on board dressed the same....

Don't forget julienned Basil leaves

I smile when I see a Dining Car - Car....in NYC which are very little if any anymore.

WOW, that's Sad about Grease? Living in Brooklyn especially near Bay Ridge, Our Greek is Greek, no grease. We must have about 1 dozen to count. Our best is Something Greek. But some of the diners are but wouldn't eat it in there. Except for the diner, the Greek Restaurants are ONLY Greek cuisine. Grease doesn't go here. As an alternative, we do have our favorite Italian, Chinese and Greek. We even get items to extend there stay in the house for few more days. That is to break the KP duty ice that is ongoing. Actually the kitchen is my playground and cooking stores are my toy stores. Can't leave one without buying something. We have an avenue called 3rd Avenue that would take you several years to hit each restaurant. It's a real melting pot of ethics and cuisine. Oh btw can't leave out the Irish, Steakhouses and Health related. I have actually lost close to 15 lbs and still going for more the next 18 day before sailing. I needed to due to cabin fever from the winter but also for the future treats on board. I like to cruise to enjoy the food and selections that I can't make at home but also I don't want to make at home. I want to be catered to. Let them shop, prep, cook, clean and put away. I want some one to put a napkin on my waist and ask me my selections. I want to go Hummmmmmm.... Yes, I am a good boy and clean my plate up. I alway promise my wife I won't lick the plate....lol. Sailing is truly another world to enjoy!

What is Grand Imperial Brut? Crisp appley sparkling wine with a lovely shot of pear juice among the bubbles, which burst into white-flower fragrance.

I have always wondered about diner menus especially those with 10 pages from top to bottom, left to right full of items as large as an old Movie Panel in a theater. And everything is made FRESH according to the wording. I totally agree with you about the Mom & Pop Lunchettes are far superior in quality and even generous quantity. Fresh items in every aspect takes time prepped but the results are great. I am the son of a father that was a chef and was taught to avoid commercial items if it can be made at home. And it is very rewarding outcome. At this time of year, I always enjoy heading to the garden for those fresh grown herbs to escalate the flavors.

DITTO...... It is a fun place and I actually learned a lot by others. If there was anything wrong being posted, CC would have addressed it. They see the togetherness of all and the conversations being exchanged. BTW.... I too can post my resume of Culinary experiences that I have been blessed to have experienced. But a Knish or Hot Dog on the street can be found inviting and tasty if handled properly....IMHO,,,,,,

New One on Me. We are sailing in 19 days on Cunard. We have a Boarding Pass with a Bar Code noted Priority Boarding and Clear stated Time to Arrival at the Terminal. I would question the Customer Service of your particular Cruise Line.

Straight and Narrow.......... If one is offended with the style of this Forum called Cruise Foodies, then contact Cruise Critics. Ask them to start a Board Forum Topic with ex. Cruise Refined Food or Cuisine Discussions. I believe this would be the only solution. I honestly don't think Cruise Critics will Close Down or Lock this Forum after years of posted exchanges since 2004. IMHO......

You can ask the Cabin Steward to open them with certain key/wrench to fold open. They do not get removed totally from our experience. They are bolted on to the rest of the panel. You do have to secure them from flapping due to weather conditions and winds..

Lynne, You are welcome to any information on the thread. Should be the same if the Port of Calls are the same. Also the theme nights should around the same. Sorry they short changed you on three days. That was the feature we liked. But really got more time because of the storm to enjoy the interior of the ship.
