Queen Suites worth it?

That sounds wonderful, thanks so much for posting.

 

Did you go "off-menu" ? Was there anything in particular you missed ?

 

I went off-menu once, which was to order escargot (which was divine, by the way). On all previous QG voyages, the maître d' went out of his way to ask us what we might like the chef to prepare for us that wasn't on the menu. Not once were we asked or encouraged to order off menu. What I missed most were the sides of vegetables. Now, a few--perhaps microwaved or otherwise quickly heated-up--veggies appear on each plate of food. Gone are the vegetable selections on each menu, the imaginative desserts, the extensive a la carte offerings. It's a good restaurant, but it's not remarkable. For years, I would judge all superior restaurant meals on land with one very simple question: "Is it Queen's Grill?" I don't do that anymore, as it's no longer the standard by which I judge all meals. For ten years it was.

Pepper, you are TOO funny. You brightened my day!

Thank you tv24, you are very kind :)

 

Actually, years of eating my cooking (:eek:) have prepared my insides for anything...

So, my claim to fame (roll on drums)... I've drunk Pol (yes, I truly have :eek: )... and survived to talk about it :D

 

Very best wishes and happy sailings.
