Rare *Miss G* Posted July 9, 2018 #177 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Kerrygold butter and Collier’s Welsh cheddar!! Haven’t seen New Zealand butter where I live but if I did I’d try it! Edited July 9, 2018 by *Miss G* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted July 9, 2018 #178 Share Posted July 9, 2018 No, and cannot say that I've ever seen it. Is there a brand here in the US I can look for? Many stores (including Walmart) carry "Anchor" Butter which is from NZ. We do not think it is much different from any decent butter sold in the USA. But when we live in Mexico (about 10 weeks a year) it is definitely a better option then Mexican butter. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana51 Posted July 9, 2018 #179 Share Posted July 9, 2018 we have to ask our waiters for white bread or rolls. We hate any bread with seeds or other crap in them. It seems that they are adding more and more of the unedible stuff in their bread baskets. I agree. Very Midwest of me but I love those plain white rolls with a crunchy crust Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana51 Posted July 9, 2018 #180 Share Posted July 9, 2018 We had them every morning on Zaandam in March It was always so crowded I didn’t see anything but the sticky buns☹️ Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana51 Posted July 9, 2018 #181 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I say thanks to the thread starter for this post, because when I am on a cruise (or any vacation) the food is a very important component of OUR trips. I could see how to some this might not matter at ALL, and to people like myself and OP, it can be a deal breaker. Want to know why I would never sail Princess again, even though I liked the ship? Their “specialty” coffee (and regular) was absolutely intolerable to my husband, who is a coffee fiend. It’s a total dealbreaker for him. I love him and don’t want him to suffer. Now as for me, I LOVE bread, to me it is often the best part of the meal. Horrible bread is the reason why many, many restaurants are off “my list” and the same will go for a cruise too. My husband knows about this and has learned to live with excluding some otherwise good restaurants because of the bread issue. My worst nightmare would be to be trapped for a week or more on a ship with ****ty food, I KNOW I would not enjoy myself. Some people may think this is nitpicking, but always remember that the little things ARE the big things! Messed up bread (or food) will mess up my vacation. Period. Thank you OP for bringing this to light. I will be dubiously eyeing the bread basket when I sail in a few weeks to Alaska. We are soul mates. Bread is to me, the most important part of the meal.

nana51 Posted July 9, 2018 #182 Share Posted July 9, 2018 We may not have met in person, but are kindred spirits. I started cruising with HAL in 2001, but don't know when I discovered the raisin buns. Sometimes you're better off not knowing about certain things. ;p On one cruise, I would have a raisin bun in the MDR for breakfast, and then an hour or two later I was foraging in the Lido for another one. :oI had to do a self-intervention. :eek: Roz I need a picture of these raisin bun so I don’t bypass them next time Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana51 Posted July 9, 2018 #183 Share Posted July 9, 2018 It is only bread. It is hardly going to make or break the cruise if the crust is hard, soft, whatever. Blasphemy!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geocruiser Posted July 9, 2018 #189 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I hope they have "hard rolls" as the crust is the best on any bread :D I agree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavecreekguy Posted July 9, 2018 #190 Share Posted July 9, 2018 After a lot of serious reflection, I have put "bread rolls" on my list of priorities when considering future cruise choices ... it comes in as my 157th most important consideration ;p I wish this board had "like" buttons.

Rare TiogaCruiser Posted July 10, 2018 #191 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) The Buns! These bad boys are about 3” across (diameter).
