Grandmaanne7 Posted August 13, 2015 #51 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) We are booked on the Reflection for a transatlantic in April 2016, wondering how fresh seafood is after several days at sea, and do they restock perishables, like seafood at every port or just at the beginning of a cruise? I am asking because on a recent TA (on Royal Caribbean) the sushi was tasting pretty bad by the end of the cruise. Looks like this was answered in post #47 above. I've always enjoyed the sushi even on day 12 of a 14-day cruise. Tasted good and fresh. Edited August 13, 2015 by Grandmaanne7 added info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasted good and fresh. I missed that, thanks. :) I am glad your experience with sushi was better than ours has been recently. We haven't been on a Celebrity cruise for a few years , but I do remember the sushi being excellent every day of our 12 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare keesar Posted August 16, 2015 #57 Share Posted August 16, 2015 That is a little disappointing as I had pictured raw oysters, among other delicacies, on a seafood tower. I highly doubt that they would be good after being frozen. Still, I will hope for some seafood of any kind at the Porch! :) We went to a brunch last Sunday and there was a raw bar. The shrimp had previously been frozen and if you add cocktail sauce, horseradish and/or lemon juice, it tastes real good. The other items included locally harvested fresh little necks and a variety of local oysters on the half-shell. I have never had thawed little necks or oysters on a raw bar.

StudentoftheWorld Posted August 16, 2015 #58 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hi there, We currently are piloting a new Porch concept onboard Reflection and Silhouette. However, since nothing is final, we don't have menus to share at this time. As soon as we learn more, we'll share information with you all. Thanks! Wow! I, for one, hope this new concept sticks - at least long enough for our Christmas cruise. Thanks, Celebrity! This is promising news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debandbruce Posted August 17, 2015 #59 Share Posted August 17, 2015 guess I am the odd one out. Even though we love seafood I would hate to see the porch be $25.00 pp. I loved eating there when I was on the Silhouette. Making it so pricy adds another specialty restaurant fee, $5.00 was no worry but this is getting a little rich for my blood. Will wait and see how it goes, we are on the Reflection soon so will see for ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, for $25 what do you get? Shrimp, clams and oysters? How many pieces? Is the shrimp the same stuff they serve for room service? That stuff is pretty nasty (IMO). Do they have chilled crab or lobster? How about ceviche? Caviar? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I read it, he had the raw bar on land not on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillsprint Posted August 22, 2015 #68 Share Posted August 22, 2015 We are just off the Reflection, here is the menu. We didn't try it, as it didn't fit in with our schedule, there were some folk there but it was never more than a quarter full anytime we were past And the general view Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertbelle Posted August 22, 2015 #69 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks for that hillsprint. It all looks good to me....but how will I choose what to eat? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmaanne7 Posted August 22, 2015 #70 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks Hillsprint! Did you notice if there was ever an offer of a discount for The Porch when pushing the specialty restaurants? Definitely want to give that Seafood Tower a try. May have to use up some of the OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debandbruce Posted August 22, 2015 #73 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks for posting the picture. It does look good but not sure about another added cost. We will see when we are on the Reflection in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted August 22, 2015 #74 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Menu is interesting but DH is allergic to most seafood They do have a burger and a few other choices...but not worth a $25 upcharge so he can join me there... we'll be looking elsewhere for the Paninis we used to enjoy up there..

Might have to go twice, our upcoming Reflection cruise is 16 days, lots of time for two visits! :D Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
