rjack22 Posted February 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I have heard that the International Café has fabulous salads. Can anyone tell me what kinds of large salads they have, like for your whole meal type salad? For example a Chef's Salad. What do they have available?

Pam in CA Posted February 24, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) I have heard that the International Café has fabulous salads. Can anyone tell me what kinds of large salads they have, like for your whole meal type salad? For example a Chef's Salad. What do they have available?No Chef's salad but definitely meal-type salads. There's a chicken Waldorf salad, shrimp salad, Greek salad, sandwiches, pastries, etc. You can ask for as much or as little as you want. Here are a couple of photos from the Sapphire to give you an idea. I see you're on the Royal Princess and the buffet has several salad bars that are fabulous. You can make a small or huge salad, or even a Chef's salad: And those aren't all the salad options on the Royal. :) Edited February 24, 2014 by Pam in CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredie Posted February 24, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2014 They don't have lettuce salads. They are "composed", as my grandmother would say. The shrimp salad is good. It's mostly shrimp with some celery and a mayonnaise-type dressing. Think of the word "salad" as in chicken salad, tuna salad, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI66774 Posted February 24, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I really liked the shrimp salad. I think it had cucumbers, etc. in it - delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonJuan77 Posted February 24, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 24, 2014 They also had a different soup of the day. I tried the New England Clam Chowder and it was good (being from New England we are pretty spoiled though) The dining room never really had a good choice of soups but this International Cafe did.

I tried the New England Clam Chowder and it was good (being from New England we are pretty spoiled though) The dining room never really had a good choice of soups but this International Cafe did. That's odd. On my cruises, it always seemed that whatever soup they had at the IC was also in the buffet and often in the MDR on the same day, so if you didn't like the soup choice in one place, good luck finding one you liked elsewhere. Maybe it is different on other sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hllwdcruiser Posted February 24, 2014 #11 Share Posted February 24, 2014 We favored the Shrimp Salad to the Chicken - but they were both very good. You can get all the ingredients for a chef salad etc up in the buffet - but it would be more of a "do it yourself". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin Oldies Posted February 24, 2014 #12 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Those pictures are enough to make us book another cruise! We love all the food at the International. Best food on the ship as far as we're concerned and the coffee's there too. The salad could be a meal but why not get a hot panni since it's right there.

FritzG Posted February 25, 2014 #17 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I really liked the shrimp salad. I think it had cucumbers, etc. in it - delicious! The shrimp salad is delicious when they make it without the fennel. It seems that there are two different recipes, and one has large pieces of fennel in it which we hate. On the Emerald last year they offered to make the recipe without fennel for us so we were very happy. In January or late December they changed some of the salads from the old standards. I didn't try any of the new ones, but several of them looked very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly2kit Posted February 25, 2014 #18 Share Posted February 25, 2014 On the Coral in January I noticed that they only had Shrimp and Fennel salad. I just assumed they had added Fennel to the mix because it was cheaper than shrimp alone. Still tasted excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolreader Posted February 25, 2014 #19 Share Posted February 25, 2014 On the Sapphire they had salad greens and oil and vinegar to put on them. I would have them add the roasted veggies, a little cheese, and maybe olives. then I would take it across the way to Alfredos to have with my Pizza.

IECalCruiser Posted February 25, 2014 #20 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I don't know about the Royal, but there were different salads in the IC on the Sapphire last month.

They were delicious ! They rotate the salads. They didn't have Greek salad and chicken salad everyday. I did speak to the person behind the counter and he was kind enough to share the daily rotation. I can't tell you what was on each day because they had an odd number of rotation days and then repeated the rotation again. Sali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
