chrysalis Posted March 8, 2009 #51 Share Posted March 8, 2009 In the last thread that discussed food someone mentioned something that was like a banana split offered for desert, I can't find that thread, so what was the name? I leave in a couple of weeks and I want to make sure I try it, everyone raved about it. TIA Volcano...but it is not on the menu, you have to ask for it.

Rare Elizabeth K. Posted March 8, 2009 #53 Share Posted March 8, 2009 The lamb shanks and the beef madallions were delish and so were the desserts at Sabatini's (chocolate espresso creme brule sp?):D I don't recall a banana split but they did offer banana's foster one night on my recent Ruby sailing. They were prepared fresh in the DR and were great:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacwolin Posted March 8, 2009 #54 Share Posted March 8, 2009 One afternoon in Horizon Court they had chocolate covered grapes. They looked weird, but they tasted SO good. They used dark chocolate, and the grapes were slightly frozen. I am not sure where they get their chocolate, but anything I had with chocolate in it/on it was wonderful.

Alessandrina Posted March 8, 2009 #55 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Regarding the Volcano dessert (banana split), it is on the Children's Menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshacruises Posted March 9, 2009 #56 Share Posted March 9, 2009 On the morning of disembarkation, in the main dining room, the James Beard's French Toast is wonderful. Although I don't ever look forward to leaving the ship, this treat does make the last day a lot better. I have only seen it offered at the last breakfast, only in the main dining room.

Cruisin Suzy Posted March 9, 2009 #57 Share Posted March 9, 2009 My husband and I are leaving on our first-ever cruise in one week! We are so excited and have spent alot of time learning on cc over the past few months. After reading this thread, I only have one worry- HOW AM I GOING TO EAT ALL OF THIS GREAT FOOD IN ONE WEEK :) Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone!

LoriPhil Posted March 11, 2009 #61 Share Posted March 11, 2009 We cruised with friends who loves the lamb (shanks? chops?). The head waiter offered to serve lamb the next night to Dotti who happily said yes and when asked how many she raised her 3 fingers. Sure enough, the next night they brought her a plate with the full lamb dinner with sides, and then they brought the next plate and then the next (wish I'd had a camera to catch the expressions!). Needless to say, we all ate a bit of lamb that night - ah the joys of traditional dining, where your waitstaff really get to know your needs and can be playful. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willycruise Posted March 11, 2009 #62 Share Posted March 11, 2009 No longer on all the cruises though......seems to be less and less ships offer this. I usually would request 2 servings when it was offered.....talk about being stuffed after a meal!!!!! BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquarian Posted March 11, 2009 #63 Share Posted March 11, 2009 On our last cruise, I asked our waiter about the Baked Alaska and he told me it had been discontinued because a waiter had been badly burned. I don't know if this is accurate or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamima Posted March 11, 2009 #64 Share Posted March 11, 2009 On our last cruise, I asked our waiter about the Baked Alaska and he told me it had been discontinued because a waiter had been badly burned. I don't know if this is accurate or not. We had it last week. Sorry to all of you who love it - we don't and didn't eat it.:( We were also told on a cruise a month ago that the meals that the head waiters make in the dining room were discontinued because of a fire and on the cruise last week they were still making them. There is a new menu that will eventually be on all Princess ships that discontinues a lot of the "personal" things. It's either a money saver or to make things more the same between traditional and anytime, where it would be impossible to have the cooking or the Baked Alaska Parade.

toban Posted March 12, 2009 #67 Share Posted March 12, 2009 We are contemplating a PC cruise on Coral Princess in 2010. One food that is very near to my heart on any cruise is bagel, cream cheese and lox at breakfast. Can someone tell me if it is available on a daily basis?? Thanks Princess cruisers !!

planooldfamily Posted March 13, 2009 Author #71 Share Posted March 13, 2009 WOW ! Thanks for all the great responses ! I've made a loooong list of all the yummy food that has been posted. Our family has set as a goal to try all of your favorite foods. Guess I better pack clothes with very stretchable waistbands ! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly'sMom Posted March 13, 2009 #72 Share Posted March 13, 2009 The Pizza on deck is the best! In the dinning room the baked eggplant parm was fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sissy Ruth Posted March 19, 2009 #73 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I love the pasta that's made tableside. Yummy with lots of garlic. I also like their hazelnut ice cream; very rich with lots of flavor. Hazelnuts are one of my favorite things, but I've never had them in ice cream - only in gelato. Definitely something to look forward to -- leaving in 2 weeks on Golden to Hawaii. Cindy:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopperwhite Posted March 20, 2009 #74 Share Posted March 20, 2009 the best entree was rack of lamb... wonderful best dessert was chocolate bread pudding with vanilla sauce. only saw it offered at lunch. the regular bread pudding with vanilla sauce was also only offered once in the dining room. loved the cold soups and the prawns served with the lobster were actually better than the lobster.
