Rare Jeter02 Posted May 16, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I love how now they put a little flyer in your cabin the first day of the cruise letting you know what all the dinner theme nights are in the buffet. Just curious for those who are currently on board, what the theme nights are looking like for a 14 day sailing. If anyone is able to share I would greatly appreciate it. I don't particularly eat in the leader deck especially for dinner but I do love to me under around to see what's available. Plus I do enjoy a good ramen/dumpling bar, they usually offer.

I wish other ships would do that! Is the Sky still doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know besides the Sky, the Enchanted, the Regal, and the Discovery are all doing that and I love that it's what I thought was becoming fleetwide.

They didn’t do it on Enchanted, 2 cruises in March. Would be great! Variety…😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay S Posted May 16, 2023 #6 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Theme nights in the buffet are not new. Been around forever. A little note in the cabin is new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's what I'm referring to is the note. Otherwise you always had to look on the patter and the fine print on the hours of the locations and they used to quietly list it there.

This new way definitely gets you excited in preparation of what's to come. However with the old pattern way it did have that little element of surprise.

SCX22 Posted May 17, 2023 #10 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Below is a scan of the document left in staterooms on embarkation day regarding the daily menu themes in the World Fresh Marketplace.

coo359a2 Posted May 17, 2023 #12 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) That is neat to have the theme nights listed out for the whole cruise. Was on the Regal for 3 cruises last fall and 2 this past March and never received any notice like the above. Always looked at the next day's Patter each night to check out what would be in the buffet. We are on the Sky in June and July and hope they have this when we are on board.

SCX22 Posted May 17, 2023 #13 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I think having the buffet menu pre-published on embarkation day is unique to the Sky Princess. Haven't seen this much organization on any other Princess ship. This kind of stuff requires lots of preparation by the ship's provisioner. I'm used to being served whatever the buffet cooks can scrape up towards the end of a long sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonzoWCS Posted May 17, 2023 #15 Share Posted May 17, 2023 This is a good thing. Thanks for the information. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissP22 Posted May 17, 2023 #16 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I have seen a general menu posted a number of times but if it wasn't I just asked a sous chef during lunch what was on the menu for the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted May 17, 2023 #17 Share Posted May 17, 2023 We are currently on the Sky but did not receive any type of "menu" as is being described...but then our steward has not been the best we've seen. We've had to ask for several things that are *always* in the cabin when we arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribsun Posted May 17, 2023 #18 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Sailed the Sky in January 2023 and no buffet theme night flyer. The food in the buffet for dinner was delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loverofdogs Posted May 17, 2023 #19 Share Posted May 17, 2023 We were on the Sky, for B2B, in January 2023 and had the flyer. It was great to know what was being served in the buffet each night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew about there being no more tote bags. But the thing I missed the most was a pen and pad of paper. I asked our steward and he did dig a set up and bring it to me. What other things were you looking for? Edited May 17, 2023 by nini spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other things were you looking for? There was no laundry bag and laundry "tickets". Had to chase someone down in the hall to get bathroom tissue (half a roll when we got into our cabin). No pen or pad. Have not had any totes for at least 4 or 5 cruises now, but really don't care about those. We have quite the collection at home now. Seems like there was something else but it doesn't come to mind right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
