I have never heard of menus being exchanged between the specialty restaurants or the dining rooms. People pay extra to be in the specialty restaurants so I very much doubt that menu sharing would be possible. Otherwise, why pay extra to go to the specialty restaurant? Sounds like the Travel Channel is confused and mis-leading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamwinn Posted May 25, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I think the Travel Channel was reporting outdated info. Originally, on the Sapphire and Diamond, before they dropped the differences in the four themed anytime dining venues, you could do that. It did not last long at all.

It did not last long at all.That's true but why would they report on two ships out of the entire fleet as though that was the norm for all Princess ships. It lasted only 3 - 4 months, I believe, and that was several years ago. Before replying the first time, I thought of the original Sapphire/Diamond dining rooms but then thought that was such old news that the Travel Channel wouldn't be that stupid or wouldn't check their facts.

pamwinn Posted May 25, 2008 #5 Share Posted May 25, 2008 It could be an old show. They tend to repeat a lot. I have a vague recollection, well all my recollections are vague, that I have seen a show that said that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvaud Posted May 25, 2008 #6 Share Posted May 25, 2008 The Travel Channel reruns and reruns shows ad nauseum. So much is out of date. I'd never believe anything I saw on the Travel Channel unless I checked the facts myself first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very true, but everytime a cruise show is on, no matter if I have seen it ten times before, I watch it anyway!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwave Posted May 25, 2008 #8 Share Posted May 25, 2008 just yesterday I was watching 10 best resorts in mexico. behind the "expert" they were talking to was a magazine cover with 2001 on it. They repeat really old shows often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really can't depend on their being current or accurate (if they were in the first place, which they apparently weren't.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia’s Journey’s Posted May 26, 2008 #10 Share Posted May 26, 2008 We enjoyed the 4 rest on the Diamond when they had the different menu's but saw what havoc it caused and understand why they did away with it even though it was great:D Love watching the TC cruise shows but take what they say with a grain of salt as they are so old.
