Glad to see you are still "feeling the wind in your face". This will be the first cruise to Hawaii, but have been there before on land.

We were scheduled to go on a Panama cruise in '09 ( on the Coral) when Terry had "sudden cardiac death". I guess it was not meant to be. Still waiting for that call to pick you up in "The Windy City".

Glad you are still here and..

Happy Sailing!

 

Christine, Any thoughts for the cruise after Hawaii ? I am hoping for Alaska towards the end of May.

Can't think that far ahead.....I am the TA for large group and it is really time consuming....plus have to wait until all the cards clear on the Hawaiian Cruise....lol!

Stay in touch.

Happy Cruising!

That is the end. I believe that all of the menus are here. Too much trouble trying to keep it where people can see and use it. Everyone wants to read, but not comment. so We will slowly fade into the "dark Pages".

It has been fun and it has been time consuming.

Christine, You did an excellent job ! You presented every meal, snack and venue from soup to nuts. I appreciate all the effort you put in and to keep this site alive. Maybe if your readers who have eaten at the Most Traveled Luncheons on the ships they would share what was served at their meal. I know what is served seems to vary by the head chef. It would be fun to read or see pictures of what was presented.

Thanks again Christine ! ( regards to Terry ) Are Sheila, Tim,Dennis and Jim going to Hawaii also ?

That would be a great idea!

Great ideas always come from great minds.

Dear Christinelee, We are first time Princess cruisers...over 30 NCL cruises and roll calls. This is, however, the most informative and most satisfying posts I have ever seen. We are cruising for 4 days on the Golden Princess and can't wait.

I have never been privy to such informative posts. What a pleasure.

I can't thank you enough as you have convinced me to check out my next Princess cruise of 7 or more days.

Thank you again, Eileen

[Pushka]

thank you Christine. A wonderful read.

Thank you EileenN,

Glad it helped you and maybe we will see you on future cruises. We are "true blue: Princess fans. There isn't anything that we have not loved on any of our cruises.... true there might have been a few hiccups along the way, but if you give them a chance to right any wrong they will always come through for you.

Happy Cruising!

We are so glad that everyone likes this labor of love.......and food!

Happy Sailing!

Just finished reading this thread and can't wait for our cruise to Hawaii next week. The fondue sounds amazing. I've never seen that on a cruise. I hope they have it on our cruise. Thanks for all the hard work putting this thread together.

Hi, thanks for all the great info! I'm really excited for my first Princess cruise in January on the Star to Hawaii, and for a little bit I was thinking we're on the same cruise! I was wondering if you recall seeing turkey bacon on any of the breakfast/brunch menus? I'm a big fan of the stuff :)

BBQ

Orange Molasses Grilled Chicken

Route 66 Beef Chili

North Carolina Pulled Pork

Maybe they all will. Nice Change Princess!
