kruisey Posted March 17, 2015 Author #79 Share Posted March 17, 2015 No one ever seems to wrap my Fush and Chups in newspaper anymore :(. As for getting lashings of vinegar, OMG the other day they offered me a little pack of it for 0.60c In the UK when I visit they put the Fish and Chips in styrofoam type boxes now but they still put lashings of malt vinegar on them ....Several of the Chippie shops just say Fish&Chips with no choice of what kind of fish just the one kind. We are lucky still having choices of fish brands.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wehwalt Posted March 17, 2015 #84 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I think what and how much a passenger eats, or how little, or their choices, should never be the source of a comment from another passenger to that passenger or in their presence, unless invited. Just my opinion, and how I was brought up. It's the ship's job to replenish the food in a timely manner. Edited March 17, 2015 by Wehwalt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To a certain extent.When it comes to the few that over indulge every day, like the example of the fruit in an earlier post, this could make for shortages later in the cruise which affects everyone on board.Princess must calculate the average amounts for each cruise .it is only exceptions like this that folks notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagsfan Posted March 17, 2015 #89 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I was disappointed the 1st time I had Fish and Chips, in Brighton, and no newspaper. Evidently the Food Police declared newspapers unsanitary. The last few times they were wrapped in paper printed to look like newspaper. Regardless, that's the only time I eat fish. With lots of malt vinegar. Yum!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest anyone thinking about smart comments be very careful, I once saw a bloke get a heck of a beating after a comment on what someone was eating. I suspect that the fellow doing the beating was on steroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to the folks and the fruit.I think it was brought up because that person thought one of the reasons for shortages could be due a few folks overdoing things which can relate to "Shortage of Provisions':) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, the thing to do is chat with the Horizon Court manager and arrange for him to have an extra bowl of fruit handy so once they get their provisions, there is no shortage in the cornucopia.

Seriously, the thing to do is chat with the Horizon Court manager and arrange for him to have an extra bowl of fruit handy so once they get their provisions, there is no shortage in the cornucopia. If this happened every day the placing of extra fruit above the normal amount supplied could lead to shortages later in the cruise. This what the person referring to the fruit meant.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robandana Posted March 18, 2015 #95 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) We were on a T/A cruise and had run out of bananas and strawberry's and 2 days later they magically appeared again....the funny thing was we were at see with no ports in sight....

Rare Cruise Junky Posted March 18, 2015 #98 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I just watched Mighty Cruise Ships featuring Celebrity Solstice. The head chef did go fish shopping to the local fish market in Darwin to get supplies. Very interesting show on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
