There goes all the savings of the drink package lol.:D

10 Days!!!

Nice spot!!!:D

Packaged products and drinks the best option.

Really sad!, my prayers and thoughts to the family.

Real or electronic, should always be in smoking areas only IMHO only.

I prefer Traditional, but it is interesting observing all the missing guests, nothing wrong with that as people are entitled to dine elsewhere.

Love seafood, but it is nice to try other dishes.

I doubt that would work.

Like!!!:D

"There is no such thing as a free lunch".:D

Thanks for your review and a shame about the chair hogs, its all about Mee Mee with them.

I was told the Golden Ultimate tour is $175. Not sure if if would be worth that price or not.

I love their prawns, too. :) I have a cruise scheduled on the Diamond in March, NZ and other points, so I hope the menu will be prawn-rich. :D I haven't heard too much about the Curtis Stone debut on the Oz-based ships, but I suppose it's a similar thing.

Apparently they have added three CS dishes on the Golden, pork belly, osso buso and not sure what the last one is but the prawns are still there. We board the Golden in 10 days:D so will copy the menu's, should be roughly the same menu as the Diamond (she is in Auckland today).

 

I LOVE BAD FOOD

Love it, I bet everyone of those dishes is really BAD!!! lol

RCI may have a sample menu on website, I usually just google and eventually find a set that is recent. You may be lucky if someone on here has scanned a copy.

In all our cruises.....so far (8) never took the time to eat breakfast in MDR.

 

Because we heard it was painfully slow.

 

Too much to do on board and so little time.

 

Safe travels.

Love it!!!.

I go on a cruise to enjoy the whole concept of cruising, and if something negative pops up that I feel I should report it, then I do so in a reasonable manner. After that I completely move on. It doesn't matter where you travel land, air or sea, things happen but unless it is something really serious, IMHO I do not see the point of venting on any blog as the next person who reads it is likely to knock it flying!! lol:D

Do you think the day of DISembarkation tours will be available on embarkation day on the TV? I'd much, much rather do it from my cabin than wait in a long line while tours are explained to people and they take forever to decide.

They were available on embarkation day when sailed on Solstice. I saw them on the TV planner but not absolutely sure if you can book them there, but can't imagine why not with todays technology.

i didnt have the main so dont know if that comes in a cheese basket but had the entree of it so i know it is still there just dont know about the basket , shrimp cocktail is still there ceasar salad i think is too

Thanks for the info, I doubt Princess would make too many hasty changes on the Golden as the Aussies & Kiwi's lover their prawns etc. ;)

We paid $40 NZD for each card as NZD is lower than AUD.

Thanks for sharing the new menu, we already have our coffee cards in waiting.:D

I don't want be on this thread if the "Lobster" ever goes lol.:mad:

Their always available used to include: salmon filet, chicken breast, beef filet tournedos and a grilled NY Sirloin steak. Look how far it has declined now.....

Can't understand losing the Salmon, as I imagined most ships around the world would serve it in one way or another. Surely it will still available as a one nighter on menu.:confused:

It seems to me that many cruises lines lately are making various changes on their ships in many different ways, which appear to make many cruisers especially regulars, cautious and unhappy. I am at a loss that Princess would replace favourite dishes with new untried ones all at the same time, and perhaps they are intentionally testing the market at our expense however, if it turns out that the concept proves to be unpopular by majority then they may need to re think again.

I am always prepared to try new cuisine but if i do like it when it arrives in front of me, I will then send it back to the galley pronto for something else. If I was a chef, that would be a slap in the face for me.:(
