Rare Germancruiser Posted June 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) I just came back from a wonderful cruise in the med on board the nice MSC Seaview. My YC experience was as wonderful as my first voyage on the Seaside- also in YC. Anyway- missed to try the crepes at the Venchi Chololate Bar last year, so I thought I might try one of those famous crepes. On the first try I learned that the Creperie is only open until 10pm- okay- I could have gotten that information from programm. Next day - I ordered my crepe - very nice and extremly friendly staff there. As the foodie that I am a eagerly awaited my Crepe. Then it came- and my chin dropped almost to my knees. A yummy looking Crepe, nicely prepared, appeared. SERVED ON A CHEAP PAPER PLATE AND WITH IN A IN PLASTIC WRAPPED KNIFE AND FORK! I was speachless- in this time and age- really? For around 12 dollars- and no propper dishes? NOT TO SPEAK ABOUT THE PLASTIC WASTE! The fork broke after two bites. Well, one has hands - right? To my shear delight there was an extremly thin paper towel attached to the nice plastic cuttlery. I am not sure that is a left over from the pandemic, but who ever is in charge should think that over. Terrible! I mentioned this to one of the YC Butlers- he shruged and said how the different YC is compared to the other part of the ship! IMO that has nothing to do with YC - serving those crepes one has to pay for in such a cheap and environment unfriendly way is unacceptable!

That has nothing to do with MSC. Venchi is a third party tenant doing their own business in the way they think is most profitable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Morgsmom Posted June 29, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2022 If you go to crepe vendor in Paris you will get a crepe wrapped in paper to be consumed while walking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudiRatlos Posted June 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2022 It´s the usual way to serve crepes at funfairs, foodtrucks etc all over europe - which may be the reason. Just as fish and chips are served in newspaper-style paper in the pub on meraviglia class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudiRatlos Posted June 29, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Of course the only real way to enjoy crepes is to have them as dessert after a galette, to be eaten in a creperie in Brittany (or Rue Montparnasse in Paris), accompanied by a jug of cidre.... 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Germancruiser Posted June 30, 2022 Author #9 Share Posted June 30, 2022 That is exactly what I am doing- hamrag- not going back! Thank you carlmm- that´s what I thought- a nice sit down cafe is not a faire neither is it a food truck. One expects that on both- of course! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose we have to look at everything outside the Yacht Club as the 'county fair'. I wonder if the Explora 1 will have the same type of Venchi kiosk? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare morpheusofthesea Posted June 30, 2022 #11 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Since we have only sailed in the YC, we have not experienced the buffet or the pizza area. When we ordered a pizza one evening to be delivered to our cabin it came delivered by our assigned butler Annalisa in a pizza box placed inside a blue insulated pizza warmer, with real plates and cloth napkin wrapped silverware. Just what one expects of YC. Wonder if one could do the same with crepes ? Will ask next month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is absolutely what YC would provide with the crepes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
