It's our appetizer while waiting for our appetizers. 😁 Me too. I love them - fresh bread and butter, can't beat it. I also like trying the different varieties. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the lobster on formal nights as well. I try not to eat too much during the day so I can enjoy the pleasures of things like fresh bread rolls, before getting serious with the menu. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers36 Posted August 16, 2022 #30 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I try not to eat much bread. Our group is similar - we ask the waiters to bring just a few bread sticks each night and forget the buns. The sticks used to be better about 5-6 yrs ago. Anyway, food is always a personal preference and it's all good, right? (Except for the escargot lovers if you don't get real snails .... what if they stop serving real steak in the Crown Grill???).

Breadsticks are my hubby's favorite, and they've been missing in action the last few cruises we've done. Hopefully, they'll be there on the Discovery next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then as soon as waiter is gone she grabs it. Because I do not eat the bread with my meals. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wore masks everywhere and only ate in the dining room a few times. Our room steward disappeared 3 days before we got back to Vancouver. We got home day after cruise, we decided to spend the testing money on a hotel, and wife tested positive. I spent everyday in hot tub and she mostly relaxed in our cabin. You just never know, I never did get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more, it's the pre appetizer nosh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, the wife only likes rolls. I just noticed that there were none in the basket. Same with other tables in the same area. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
