generichandle Posted September 21, 2014 #27 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Living in the middle of the country [Cincinnati], it is always hard to get fresh seafood at any price. Therefor I have smoked Salmon [lox] every single morning for breakfast, with capers, cream cheese, and bagel. If it is not out I ask and they have always come through. On the Diamond, one of the small dining rooms had a specialty of osse bucco. It was fantastic; incredibly tender and juicy. I always have the Alfredo a time or two on each voyage. I ask for garlic and anchovies, but to each their own on that. Always so satisfying. Once in the buffet, and I think in the DR too, they had the most awesome lamb shank. I got two! Too many to list. By all means ask those you dine with, and I am certain you will simply never have enough opportunities to try everything you would love. Another thing that keeps bringing me back.

susiesan Posted September 21, 2014 #28 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Is sushi ever served anywhere on the ships, either at the buffet or on the menu? Is it nigiri sushi and temaki rolls made with the raw fish? Or is it just california rolls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepp Posted September 21, 2014 #30 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Is sushi ever served anywhere on the ships, either at the buffet or on the menu? Is it nigiri sushi and temaki rolls made with the raw fish? Or is it just california rolls? The sushi (occasionally) served in the buffet is generally beyond disappointing, like the stuff that's been sitting in the refrigerated section of your supermarket a bit too long. I have had quite decent nigiri sushi in the Platinum lounge, if you qualify for that. Can't speak to the quality of the sushi offered at Vines. (The Royal, as I recall, had a sushi bar, but I don't recall seeing anyone actually eating there.) No sushi offered in the MDR that I know of. I'll be cruising Japan on the Diamond, which has a dedicated sushi restaurant. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettyboop66 Posted September 21, 2014 #31 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Have you ever tried the Love Boat Sundae off the kid menu for dessert? Sugar overload, but sooooooo good. I've read about the kid's dessert menu a few times here on CC. If I want to order from this one night can I ask the waiter to see the kid's menu? Would love to try some of the desserts I've read about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azdmelani Posted September 21, 2014 #32 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Looking forward to our first Princess cruise. Dining is a big part of why I cruise. Maybe some veterans could tell me what your favorites are in the MDR and at the buffet. Don't want to miss any great dishes. Thanks in advance.

They also have a good alphabet soup (sort of like a chicken noodle.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKman2495 Posted September 22, 2014 #34 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I always have an appetizer portion of the pasta -they are wonderful (but I never eat the Alfredo). I like the pheasant when they serve it on formal nights. I Love breakfasts in the MDR any day of the week. I love most of the desserts, but I am particularly annoyed on last night because they have the most wonderful apple pie -and Baked Alaska....I am forced, forced...to have both....;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfb4cruzing Posted September 22, 2014 #38 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The Horizon Court had a Japanese Soup for breakfast one morning that rocked. Don't remember the name but always something "different" for breakfast. One morning it was bangers. I like to sample the unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to order from this one night can I ask the waiter to see the kid's menu? Would love to try some of the desserts I've read about. This is the kids' menu. It has stayed the same for a few years. It is the same at both dinner and lunch. Anyone can order from the kids' menu; you only have to ask. http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u19/mcruises/Image.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredie Posted September 23, 2014 #41 Share Posted September 23, 2014 My grandson recommends the garden salad. It's a basic lettuce, tomato, cucumber salad with choice of dressing. If any of the salads on the adult menu look too "exotic" for you, this kids' salad would be an alternative. The portion size was about the same.
