kaztig79 Posted July 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I'm normally have breakfast in the buffet, but thinking of going to MDR does anyone have a copy of the menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommypig Posted July 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2014 like dinner in the MDR, there are some always available items and some different ones each day. And if all you want is an omelet or basic breakfast item, you can generally get it even if it is not on the menu. Although it takes longer to have breakfast there than in the buffet, it is a nice way to start the day. One big benefit of breakfast in the MDR is that your food is not exposed to the perils of buffet dining, the sick or unhygienic passenger. If we see any signs if illness on board ship we stop eating in the buffet and only eat in the MDR. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamer333 Posted July 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I didn't see much of a difference in breakfast food being offered in the MDR and the buffet. If anything, much more selection in buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar1950 Posted July 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Check the menu posted each day. They have special items that are different each day just like the dinner menus do. If you like omelets then ignore what is listed on the menu and ask for what you want on it. I usually ask for green peppers, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and a combination of Swiss and cheddar cheeses. They will fix it how you want and in my opinion it is much better than the buffet omelets. Also, if there is something that you want and don't see it on the menu, ask. They probably can get it for you if they have it on the ship.

skf Posted July 13, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Also, if there is something that you want and don't see it on the menu, ask. They probably can get it for you if they have it on the ship. Definitely...we had MDR Eggs benedict nearly every day. Excellent when compared to the buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted July 13, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 13, 2014 It's rare that I get up in time to make it to the MDR for breakfast but I do like to sometimes order that "Late Risers" selection on the MDR Lunch menu. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaztig79 Posted July 13, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted July 13, 2014 as any one got a copy of lunch menus for the MDR too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted July 13, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) As I've learned from Pam in CA, do an online search which I did & viewed many options to see Princess' dining room menus. Edited July 13, 2014 by Astro Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel5 Posted July 13, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Breakfast in the MDR is so much more civilized than the "feeding time at the zoo" atmosphere in the HC. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted July 13, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Just check the menus when you get on the ship. No need to decide in advance. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 13, 2014 #13 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Breakfast foods, and hence, the menu, is pretty much the same anywhere! Eggs, all styles, breakfast meats, cereals (hot and cold) potatoes, tomatoes, pancakes, french toast, juices, fruits, breads, pastries....just like anyplace that serves breakfast!

shepp Posted July 13, 2014 #14 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I didn't see much of a difference in breakfast food being offered in the MDR and the buffet. I guess you never had the coagulated Eggs Benedict or the sitting-under-a-heat-lamp-until-tough pancakes at the HC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted July 13, 2014 #17 Share Posted July 13, 2014 There's also a nice selection of pastries at the International Café, along with a yogurt parfait that I like and the hot egg mcmuffin type sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timesurfer7 Posted July 13, 2014 #19 Share Posted July 13, 2014 We had to "teach" the chef how to make Eggs Benedict on our cruise to Hawaii several months back. According to our server he was told that the sauce is made by whisking the mixture over ICE. Hence the unpleasant consistency, added to being under the salamander too long. We had a standing order every morning for Eggs Benedict and found out after five days that it was better to "deconstruct" the eggs rather than eat what we were presented with every morning. We ordered the EB every morning but we would also order extra crispy (as the originals never were) English muffins on the side, along with ham slices. This way we made our own EB by using the given egg (by this time they learned to bring the sauce on the side so that it was heated and not sitting congealing on the eggs) and the extra ham and English Muffin. But after eight days I was sick of having to do this so stopped ordering it and just enjoyed other types of eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raring to go Posted July 14, 2014 #20 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I always ask for the hollandaise on the side, that way I don't get one of the ones that is already made and may have been sitting in the kitchen for a while.

Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted July 14, 2014 #21 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I love the mixed berries and the orange segments as starters for breakfast in the dining room. I mean, three kinds of berries and oranges someone else segmented is the best way to start the day. The other things I get I can get in the buffet but I can't get fruit like that. I also love sautéed spinach on the mornings the entree includes spinach because I'm weird that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no International cafe on the Ocean Princess. Just a little ship. The good coffee is available at the bar at the buffet, and the bar right outside the MDR.

Lovetocruiseprincess Posted July 14, 2014 #24 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I guess you never had the coagulated Eggs Benedict or the sitting-under-a-heat-lamp-until-tough pancakes at the HC? Only if you choose to eat such items otherwise they're are plenty of freshly made omelets or fried eggs prepared to order. (and you don't have to wait 15 minutes for a waiter to bring them) ;) Sitting down for breakfast for an hour in the DR may be some peoples idea of a relaxing meal to start the day which is fine if you don't have much planned for the morning but the selections of the buffet seem to be sufficient for most and defitnely much quicker.
