International Cafe salads question

[rjack22]

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?

Greek, Grilled Vegetable, Shrimp, Chicken and Cashew, and if I recall they recently had some new varieties.

 

Lots of photos can be found on google

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. :)

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.

I really liked the shrimp salad. I think it had cucumbers, etc. in it - delicious!

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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

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.

I don't know about the Royal, but there were different salads in the IC on the Sapphire last month. Instead of the various salads mention above, these were the salads at the IC one day:

 

• Goat Cheese, Roasted Bell Pepper, Toasted Almonds and Orso Pasta Salad, Cranberry Vinaigrette
  
• Mixed Green Salad
  
• Shrimp, Radish and Chick Peas Salad with Preserved Lemon,Taboule Style
  
• Chicken Rotisserie Salad with Pineapple, Lime-Curry Creamy Dressing
  
• Watermelon Caprese Salad with Tomato, Mozzarella and Arugula

I was on the Coral in December and they had the above salads. 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.
