oldmanonthesea Posted September 29, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2014 My wife heard that there is a Hawaii Night dinner on every Princess cruise. We're booked on a 28-day cruise - does anyone know if this is just held once per cruise? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a link to the Princess Aloha Spirit Program & shows many "Hawaiian-inspired dishes" which were okay but not nearly as good as food in Hawaii. It also lists Island-style activities to enjoy during the cruise. http://www.princess.com/learn/cruise-destinations/hawaii-cruises/cruises/aloha_spirit/ The last time during an evening in Honolulu they had a Hawaii deck buffet but don't recall a specific evening in the dining room & instead some nightly Hawaiian-style dishes. However the website lists a luau type of evening... Hawai'i Island Night (sample dishes) Kamehameha Fruit Soup Hawaiian Suckling Pig Lomi Lomi Salmon Pipikalua Cured Beef Kona Style Ahi Poke Polynesian Chicken Pupu Oyster Sauce Marinated Pork Spareribs Shredded Kalua Pig in Ti Leaves Pineapple Macadamia Nut Bread Five Spice Chocolate Mousse Baked Hawaii Chocolate-Dipped Fruits Pineapple Flambé Beverage Promotion: Ultimate Mai Tai - Hawaiian Tropics - Paradise Punch Edited September 29, 2014 by Astro Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted September 29, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) It's been a while since I've taken a cruise that includes Hawaii but I've never heard/seen a Hawaiian night dinner on any Princess ship sailing pretty much anywhere. There might be a dish but there are few dinner theme nights. Even French night is gone. I stand corrected. Looks like there's one night on Hawaiian cruises. Doubt it's offered elsewhere.

dorisis Posted September 29, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 29, 2014 The only ethnic type dinner I have seen on recent Princess cruises is Italian night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimer Posted September 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2014 This past Feb. on Grand to Hawaii, the Horizon Court had a Hawaiian theme and at the carving station they servers suckling pig. They sliced a piece with the crispy rind and it was delicious. Had to have seconds...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great! It was served the night we were in Honolulu, when there was also special entertainment in the Princess Theater. A special night! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadieN Posted September 29, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Makes sense that the Hawaiian dinners are served on Hawaiian cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Flyer Posted September 30, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks for the info! We had no idea and this really gets us even more excited about our Hawaiian cruise! You're welcome & that's so much more Hawaiian-inspired food than our last Hawaii cruise & may have to consider an hour drive to the port for a r/t cruise from LA. Princess has fewer of these cruises resulting in higher cruise fares...good for Princess, bad for me. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
