However most of the other passengers seemed to enjoy it also and several joined in the dancing, with others taking photos of the FUN!

 

 

Typical of Carnival cruisers.

No Volcano?? What will @Lucky TGO say?

 

That is what is now listed as Vanilla-Chocolate Banana Sundae.

 

Pictures of it make it appear smaller than the Volcano was, but with the same ingredients.

I heard the rum piña colada cold soup is really good but I have not been able to try it because it has dairy in it and I have allergies.

 

Princess Cruises Frozen Rum-Infused Piña Colada Soup

Piña colada soup recipe (5 Servings)

 

Ingredients:

• 1 1/3 lbs (or 2 1/2 cups) pineapple (keep some dice for garnish)
• 1/2 cup sugar, granulated
• 6 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 1/3  cup coconut milk
• 3 oz coconut flakes
• 1 tablespoon rum (optional)
• 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
• 2 1/2 cups sour cream
• 5 pieces pineapple, for garnish  

 

With 1 tablespoon of rum in 5 servings, that means 1/5 of a tablespoon per serving. No wonder most people cannot taste the rum.

They do dance on Carnival, but NOT on the dining tables. There are special platforms that a few of the waiters dance on.

Yes, and I just had the steak which wasn't really that good.

The minute steaks at the buffet are better.😁

Mrs BV ordered the strip loin last night. She finished it but it was tough as shoe leather. My specially prepared rockfish was excellent.

@TorfammThank you SO much for posting the menus.  Very helpful.

You said they dance on the tables, I said no, on platforms. This looks like the platform to me. Does it look like a dining table to you?

Thanks @torfamm for posting the menus.  Contemplating a cruise in November and nice to know my favorite Princess menu items are still there (even if not every night)

Carnival is the only cruise line I know of that has had to issue requests to their patrons to “Behave yourselves”

I wish they could leave out the yogurt and the sour cream because I would love to try that.

My picture was posted to show you were correct.

A comments or pictures of the new lasagna?

Here is a photo from tonight. My very limited sample of tasters included reports of “good”, “delicious”, and “not as good as yours”. No one disliked it though and the portion was very reasonable. I thought it was fine. I’m not a huge fan of lasagna though

Thank you. I appreciate your tasters for providing their opinions 🙂 Thank them for me!

What is that leaf on top?

This looks a little different than what we had. Ours had a white sauce on top, yours looks like cheese. I wasn't crazy about the white sauce but overall thought the lasagna was good.

Deep fried basil is what the garnish looked like to me. I didn’t taste it though

Just returned from Ruby.  We had all the things, shrimp Cocktail, onion soup, etc.  Our waited said that because many complained they put them back on the menu.  He told us to put down what foods we want on the comment email because they do listen.

The white sauce is probably a bechamel which is how Mamas from Tuscany might make Lasagna. One of my Grandmas was from a small village near Naples and she used ricotta. Never made anything with a bechamel sauce. 

 

I would not be surprised if there are even more variations on this dish.

I guess I've been out of the loop for awhile with Princess menus but I noticed on these new menus that they are charging for the lobster tails. So my question is do they ever serve lobster tails free anymore?

IIRC on our 2 cruises last year they served them on one of the formal nights just like they did in the past.

Yes, lobster is still included on the menu on the second formal night.

Princess Love Boat Dream is not even close to what it use to be.  Had it on our last cruise and it is really lacking in many qualities now.  This is such a limited menu, especially for those of us who do 20 to 30 day cruises that it makes one wonder if their new pricing and cutbacks have reached the point where Oceana, Viking or Regent might be more worth it now.

Viking has always been worth it, imho. 

[justafem]

Almost the same menu we had last month, couple of minor changes.

 

That's what's nice about the medallion, we can look ahead and decide if we're going to the MDR or make other arrangements if we're blah about choices.  Never had a problem getting into crown or sabatini's on any day after speaking to the staff.  And we do a lot of upcharge dinners, chefs table, winemakers, tuscan, etc.  Then there's the good old buffet, which we thoroughly enjoyed on the Royal. 

 

Food venues are varied, food tastes are just as varied.
