boca7 Posted November 28, 2013 Author #2 Share Posted November 28, 2013 If you were making the best product in your venue would you change it? Princess did!!!! I started this thread in hope that Princess will realize that if you have a great product you don`t mess with it. The pizza which was always rated the best of any cruise line has decided to change the ovens & the product has suffered. They now produce a dough the same as what you get at Carnival. The topping is still very good but congratulations to Princess you are saving a few dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giselleacttwo Posted November 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I'm confused. I'm fresh off the Sapphire and noticed no degradation in the pizza quality from previous cruises. And I'm a pizza snob, so I would have noticed. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whataboutport Posted November 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) I was on the CB a few weeks ago and while the variety of topping choices were lacking, I felt the crust to be very tasty, crispy, with perfect sauce to cheese ratio. You're saying it was even better before? Edited November 28, 2013 by whataboutport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted November 28, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I thought the pizza on the Royal was really good. I don't get it that often but didn't notice any change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltd Posted November 28, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I have always thought that Pizza from Alfredo's and pizza up on deck have a different taste. I like the pizza by the pool better. Also think pizza from ship to ship can be a bit different. I did not like the pizza when we were on the Pacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pia1913 Posted November 28, 2013 #10 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Boca7, I note that you are referring to the Royal. HUH? I'm not an avid pizza lover, but like the others above, I thought the Royal pizza was very good. Especially the all white. Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCandy Posted November 28, 2013 #11 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Recently off the Emerald. The pizza had changed for the better!! My husband and I noticed the change with the first bite. The crust is much improved. Definitely much better pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynight Posted November 28, 2013 #15 Share Posted November 28, 2013 They now produce a dough the same as what you get at Carnival. Can you explain what you mean? Did they change their dough formula? Did they change their ovens? What ship? Are you speaking about the pizza at the Lido, Alfredos or both? There could be a difference at Alfredo's, as they advertise this as "gourmet" pizza. The change might be on purpose in Alfredo's, not as a money saver, but to offer a different taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapphireHoneymoon Posted November 28, 2013 #16 Share Posted November 28, 2013 What about the room service pizza? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia1913 Posted November 28, 2013 #17 Share Posted November 28, 2013 What about the room service pizza? Room service pizza is the same Lido pizza, but you pay $3.50 to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Woobstr112G Posted November 28, 2013 #18 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) I was also on the Royal last month for the T/A. The pizza on the Lido and in Alfredo's was great. If Princess is going to change, or already has changed the pizza ingredients to save $$$ it wouldn't surprise me. What absolutely surprises me is the fact that a great place like Alfredo's is still free..... Bob Edited November 28, 2013 by Woobstr112G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamster Posted November 28, 2013 #19 Share Posted November 28, 2013 The pizza on the Coral in September was the same as the pizza we got on the Sapphire last year. Didn't notice any difference. Haven't tried Alfredo's. The pizza for room service is similar to the lido deck pizza although it's a smaller pie and the crust is thicker. Still same great flavor though.

IECalCruiser Posted November 28, 2013 #20 Share Posted November 28, 2013 What about the room service pizza?After 14 cruises on Princess we finally had Room Service pizza on our last cruise on the Emerald. The delivery fee is $3 and is the same for one or several pizza's. There were the same three choices (cheese, pepperoni, daily special) as there are at the Lido deck pizzeria. They are smaller but we thought the crust was better than on Lido deck. Two pizzas were plenty for the three of us. Nice choice if you get back after a morning port visit and want to relax in your cabin with a bit to eat :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimer Posted November 28, 2013 #21 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Earlier on our Alaska Cruise on Grand Princess and half way through they ran out of Pepperoni and replaced it with Salami. That was a real let down:mad:. I usually get a Pepperoni Fix daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Crews Posted November 28, 2013 #24 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I didn't think there was such a thing as 'bad' pizza. I just thought some were better than others..... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapphireHoneymoon Posted November 28, 2013 #25 Share Posted November 28, 2013 So room service pizza is $3 or $3.50? And the fee covers as many pizzas as you want or it's per pizza? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
