"Live from" the Majestic Princess November 7-27 with pre- and post- cruise adventures

[CruzeQueen2]

@jwattle Looks like a great start to the cruise! All the usual food groups showed up for the first day/ embarkation lunch and dinner.  Avo shrimp appie, salmon and orange souffle at lunch. Tale of citrus, my personal fave, and the langoustine and mussels...at The Catch. I think you sat at my usual table! Nice touch to see the opera house. Keep smiling!

Thanks for doing this Live.   Following along.

Aloha. Have a wonderful holiday. Blessed to sail Princess for decades and hope you enjoy tremendously. As I always say and respectfully request please keep the food pictures coming 😂

Good biscuits ontoast, talk about a smooth embarkation!! Arrived at 10:15, checked in by 10:30, onboard by 11:00. And then..

You two look like so much fun!  We are sailing from Sydney to NZ on Majestic on December 22--wish you were on our cruise!

 

Can you explain what looks like a prawn carcass dangling above a plate in one of your food photos?  🙂

Good morning from somewhere in the Tasman sea, I'm 6'2" and can maneuver around out there easily.

Apparently the little Dickens was caught leaving the scene of a bank heist and he...

Oh wait,  no,  wrong story!

That was the, I think,  triple threat, or triple S, on the menu.  They base a lot on presentation at Catch. The sole is debunked tableside, etc.

I was so enamored with the table side presentation,  I forgot to take a photo.  So ya know what this means 😏

Dinner at The Catch was lovely! We did have a great time getting our steps in. During the day,  pre-sailaway, the Melbourne Cup aired at 3pm. I wanted to change first and had half hour to spare. I told Tom I'd meet him at Vista Lounge. When I got there at 2:55 I was advised they'd moved it to MUTS. OH NO 😢

This started an hour long game of me playing find my shipmate, whilst he was doing the same,  literally trying to chase moving target targets.

@charliedalrymple @jwattle Here are some photos from my dinner at The Catch in September. Yes, the langoustine was part of the Three S offering and I had pics of the de-boning of the SOLE.  We enjoyed ALL of it!

Hope no one minds...just adding to the thread...where appropriate. Sorry the photos are blurry...guess I got over-excited! Or maybe had a few too many glasses of wine before the main courses arrived. It was lovely!

So sad...I  go to the casino and Bingo,  win at both and come back to this heartbreaking 💔 sight. Not sure how to come back from this one... oh wait ✋️ I have it! Ocean Now or the Concierge Lounge! Everyone put down the phones,  let 9-1-1 and the Prime Minister know we have averted an International incident!

Good luck in opening up the heavy fridge door... enjoy a cold something...or some hot tea? @jwattle

If it's happy hour for you there...you will have more options! Enjoy. Sigh. I remember that time of day, fondly.
