Sandwiches in buffet

[boatnote]

Are the sandwiches pre-made in the buffet or does Princess have a sandwich station like Hal does?

[azcruiser64]

They're only pre-made but I wish they would have a sandwich station like HAL and Celebrity during lunch.

There are some pre-made sandwiches as well as breads, cold cuts, cheese, salads, veggies, etc. to make your own sandwich. No sandwich station like on HAL but on the other hand, you don't have to wait 10-15 minutes for them to make you something.

The only Princess ships we have seen recently that have the sandwich station at the buffet where they will make them according to your specifications was on the smaller ships (Royal 'now gone from the fleet', Pacific and Ocean).

Although I have found the sandwiches in the buffet a little boring, I have thoroughly enjoyed the Room service ones. Great clubhouses.

They're not the greatest and don't even look appetizing. If you want a sandwich just take what even cold cuts from the server & make up you own. It'll be much better than something they made in the morning wrapped in saran wrap.

I agree.

We were just on the Star to the Greek Isles and they had a sandwich station.

On cruises we've been on recently, they have had a sandwich station in HC for about an hour starting at 3:00pm. There are a number of breads, meats, cheeses, etc. you can select from for your sandwich that is made by a crew member for you.

 

I wish they would have this sandwich station at lunch time. I'd much rather enjoy a good sandwich for lunch than some of the really heavy offerings in HC.

I agree - very good.

There is usually a carving station at lunch and you can make a sandwich with that, ham, beef, pork, turkey, etc., a different one each day.

During lunch, or at 3:00?

At lunch where they have the fried eggs in the morning.

[Gail & Marty sailing away]

They are pre made for lunch.

I have never seen anyone making sandwiches at lunch on any Princess ship.

Had to smile at the OPs question. We cruise, quite often, on both cruise lines and DW loves the sandwich station on HA. Princess does not have anything like that HA service. However, Princess does have the best Pizza at sea (its better then most pizza on land) as compared to HA pizza which is normally not fit for a fish.

Make your own. Get a few slices of meat, bread, lettuce, etc. Or have an open-faced sandwich. There are usually gravy and mashed potatoes too.

We have seen this during the 'light snacks' offering in the afternoon. It wasn't every day and it was not consistent on all the cruises we've been on (or we simply missed it during that particular time). They seem to offer the saran sandwiches more often than not, but there is usually some cold cuts, cheese and buns where you can essientially make your own as well.

[4cats4me]

They look nasty in the HC and are wrapped in cellophane. I always take some bread rolls and cheese and whatever meat they have, like a pice of salami or ham and make my own OR on ships with the I/C go get a panini.

[jrzebird]

I must be very easy to please, food-wise. I had a great pre-made sandwich on my recent cruise. It was mozzarella cheese, tomato, basil and was yummy. Also, you can get a sandwich at the International Cafe. They'll make on for you from the chicken or tuna, or whatever they have that day, on wonderful, fresh made rolls. The HC had several good pre-made sandwiches. They are made that morning, not 2 days before and are fresh and good. Plus there is SOOO much offered, you'd be hard pressed not to find something wonderful. I do think that HAL has more diversified food, but Princess is also outstanding.

[4cats4me]

I love the mozzarella/basil sandwiches too but only saw those at I/C.

 

Wasn't really a fan of the pre-made turkey and cranberry though

or the liverwurst sandwiches [where is the dislike button?]:D

OH! I missed those 2. Both are favorites of mine!

 

I did get the mozzeralla/basil in HC. I never had a sandwich from IC, but did enjoy several chicken salad plates!
