hilomelko Posted July 9, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2019 they used to set up big Weber grills out on the pool deck and would serve lunch, I remember this on the gem and pretty sure on the breakaway maybe 2-3 years ago do they still do this??because I think it was usually the best meal of the day specialty restaurants included..

vince_g Posted July 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 9, 2019 They do it on Gem, but not Breakaway as far as I know - never seen it on BA and I have cruised it a fair bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bogle Posted July 9, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Only remember it on Jewel class ships. Definitely wasn't done on Breakaway earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted July 9, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Pre *Away ship days, ribs & pork chops, corn, and vege burgers then. Didn't see them on the Dawn this year when we sailed Canada/NE 🙄 ... gone like the midnight buffets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted July 9, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 9, 2019 No pool deck BBQ on the JEWEL in May in Alaska. I had hoped we'd get to experience it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted July 10, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 10, 2019 It is done on the older ships, not the "away" class and other large ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawknj Posted July 10, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2019 They did it in 2001 on the old Norwegian Sea a small ship I was on that did NY to Canada. Back then they even had a hotdog cart on the pool deck. The cookout was great just a bit hard to get a med rare burger off the grill they had orders well done only.

dexddd Posted July 10, 2019 #9 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Haven't seen it on newer ships. Last we had was Gem late 2016 but haven't been on that size since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpk2003 Posted July 10, 2019 #10 Share Posted July 10, 2019 They did it on the Gem for our cruise last year. Fingers crossed Gem still does this because you're correct - some of the best food of the entire cruise! We are back on board the Gem in October 🍽️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted July 10, 2019 #11 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Following the poolside BBQ on the Gem, if you missed it, O'Sheehan's would run a BBQ Special one evening ... Of course, some of the same items can be found in the buffet (Garden Cafe) Anyone seeing it on the Dawn this summer - doing the Florida/GSC/Nassau runs ?
