LNugent Posted February 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The food on Seabourn is so good I was shocked to find on my first Seabourn cruise in many years that every morning at breakfast they had these woeful, hard as rock hash brown "bricks". Why not some nice roasted potatoes or freshly make hash brown potatoes. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially the same thing you get on Holland America or Carnival, albeit in a different shape (now). IIRC Regent serves up the same thing.

LNugent Posted February 23, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I referred to them as "bricks" not because of shape but because they were almost always as hard as a brick. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Oh. Wow. I was thinking shape. The only time I've had them with a brick like texture was from the buffet in the Verandah/Colonnade.

lincslady Posted February 23, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 23, 2017 My DH tries them occasionally - not me. I presume they are frozen and reheated - I bet they could be better if recooked properly and not left under the domes for too long? They always looked dried out to me.

lincslady Posted February 24, 2017 #11 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Erm.... this 'sky grill' must have passed me by. Where is it exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Norton Posted February 24, 2017 #12 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) It was the little hamburger/chicken/steak/hot dog grill and micro salad bar setup for lunch (and occasionally dinner) on the little sisters. You can see it being setup here Edited February 24, 2017 by Emperor Norton moar pix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted February 25, 2017 #14 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Sorry, it was just the 'sky grill breakfast' I did not remember, as I don't think it happened. Thanks for the photos, though, as a reminder of the dear little sisters of old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRedJohn Posted February 25, 2017 #15 Share Posted February 25, 2017 We had a wonderful cruise on Odyssey in January. Food was excellent. But the hash brown potatoes? I wouldn't serve those in an elementary school cafeteria. I complained about them a year ago when we cruised Seabourn, and mentioned them again in my comment this year. We need more people to complain. If Seabourn needs lessons in hash browns, they should eat at Chubby's the diner just up the street from us here in Kansas City.

Dusko Posted February 27, 2017 #18 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Forgive my pressing for clarity but are you actually saying that the Seabourn hash browns are a zero compared to a Mc5?

LNugent Posted August 19, 2017 Author #20 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Anyone know if they have improved the hash browns? Maybe they could at least offer breakfast potatoes in lieu of the "potato bricks" Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunprince Posted August 20, 2017 #21 Share Posted August 20, 2017 They did have breakfast potatoes most mornings but to be honest, they were not that much better than the patties. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve007NY Posted August 20, 2017 #22 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Why not ask the chef to prepare potato latkes for you? Its SEABOURN. With 24 hours notice you can probably get them made with Yukon gold potato s and fried in duck fat if that's what you'd like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab21au Posted August 20, 2017 #23 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The hash brown I had recently on the Encore was certainly freshly made and was nice (and I do not normally eat them). The sign on the buffet indicated they were freshly made which is why I had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasDave Posted August 20, 2017 #25 Share Posted August 20, 2017 We recently got off the Encore and the hash browns with room service for breakfast were inedible - hard as a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
