jwmcq Posted October 9, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I found all of the restaurants to be a bit confusing, so I have cut and pasted my finds. Hopefully this info will help someone else. Please add to this if you know something else about these restaurants! There are 12 restaurants on board the ship. 6 of them are Free (or should I say included);) : Paniolo Tapas Bar & Restaurant (Tex Mex) menu: http://goodtimes.webshots.com/photo/261231340091019103ZlQpEr photo: Papa's Italian Kitchen - photo: menu: http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2498008850091019103JtOtES Grand Pacific Main Restaurant photo: photo Alizar Main Restaurant photo: Aloha Nui Cafe (Buffet style restaurant) - Blue Lagoon ("24" hour service, only closed during main dinner hours) menu: - http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2089591630091019103yHbyDt photo: 6 restaurants that cost extra: Cagney's Steak House - $15 per person - photo: menu: http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2000941320091019103ZLiheD Jasmine Garden Asian Restaurant - $10 per person photo: Le Bistro French Restaurant - $10 per person - menu: http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2625948950091019103orVORT photo: Sushi bar - $10 per person photo: Shabu Shabu - $10 per person Tepanyaki - $20 per person photo: Aloha bar - serves pastries, cookies and coffees - fee? photo: http://cruisecenter.smugmug.com/gallery/1487868#71232016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwmcq Posted October 9, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I would also love to know what is "Shabu Shabu." I've read very little about that one. And a picture of the buffet area and seating would be wonderful as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Rare CC Help Michell Posted October 9, 2007 Administrators #4 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I would also love to know what is "Shabu Shabu." I've read very little about that one. And a picture of the buffet area and seating would be wonderful as well. Shabu Shabu means "swish swish" and it's sort of like fondue -- you cook your bits of meat and veggies in a community pot. I didn't take photos of the interior buffet area on POH -- it's pretty much, um... a fairly typical modern buffet -- not one long line, but several "stations," some with meat, some with veggies, some with sushi, some with pasta, etc. There is also a "grill" area for the hot foods like steak/shrimp. I am attaching a thumbnail of our favorite part of the POH's buffet, though -- the Aloha Nui lanai (the open area on the back of the ship) -- a wonderful place, especially for breakfast, reasonably "far from the madding crowds."

Haylilli Posted October 18, 2007 #5 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I heard there was specific times that you can go dine that the prices were cheaper. Can someone assist me with this? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapoho2 Posted October 18, 2007 #6 Share Posted October 18, 2007 On some cruises you will see announcements of half price specials in the specialty restaurants. It seems that some cruises offer the discount for early dining, on others the discount is offered for late dining. Sometimes only the first night is discounted. And, on our POH cruise in August I do not remember seeing any specials. If the discounts are offered...you will see it advertised in your Freestyle Daily.

Can someone assist me with this? Thank you We ate at Jasmine Garden on a 2-for-1 special on embarkation day on the Pride of Hawaii. As Kapaho2 says, just check the Freestyle Daily for other special offers -- sometimes early or late seating times are also offered at the 2-for-1 rate.

cruznut1111 Posted October 19, 2007 #9 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I think three of the ones you have listed - Sushi, Shabu Shabu and Le Bistro are actually $15 per person. We paid the extra $10pp for the chateaubriand and the total - with a GREAT bottle of Souvrain cabernet sauvignon- came to about $117. It was a wonderful meal.

Philob Posted October 19, 2007 #10 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Shabu Shabu means "swish swish" and it's sort of like fondue -- you cook your bits of meat and veggies in a community pot. Traditionally, towards the end you put in oriental "long life" noodles in the broth and have noodle soup to end the meal. Then its dessert :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
