Hawaii Night Dinner

[oldmanonthesea]

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.

What cruise...LA r/t to Tahiti & Hawaii?

 

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.

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...

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.

The only ethnic type dinner I have seen on recent Princess cruises is Italian night.

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

Yes, we had a Hawaii night theme at the buffet, on a Hawaii cruise on the Sapphire, in March, 2013. 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! :)

Makes sense that the Hawaiian dinners are served on Hawaiian cruises.

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. ;)

All of the themed dinners except for Italian Dinner were dropped late in 2012.
