Linen and veggie on sea princess!?

[Tricky Diggy]

Hi again you lot,

 

We're still excited, even with 6 months to go until xmas on the Sea Princess! This site is great for perpetuating this!

 

My daughter and I are vegetarian (no fish); can anyone give us an idea of how well we will be catered for and what fare we might expect?

 

Also, will a linen suit look out of place on forrmal nights?

 

Cheers TD :o

Hi again TD:

 

If you eat eggs and cheese, you'll be ok. Otherwise it gets tough.

 

In the dining room, the newer menus I have seen have a little "v" marked next to the vegtarian items, the older ones had them under a seperate list. There are usually things that sound vegetarian but are not, due to stocks or sauces. There's always at least one true vegetarian appetizer, soup, entree, and salad. And there's always Fettucine Alfredo. Frequently the entree is a pasta (which kinda gets old after awhile) but then often there's something else too, like eggplant parm or vegetable fritters or raggouts (did I spell that right?)

 

I always find plenty in the buffet with salads and stuff, lots of times vegetarian indian dishes at lunch. Breakfast is easy - cereal, grits, yogurt, fruit, etc. And of course eggs.

 

Now, that all said, I haven't been on Sea Princess yet, and I read that she is more geared to UK tastes - whatever that means! (looking forward to finding out :)) ... I have only been on larger ships with mostly American crowds. So it could be quite different I guess.

 

I usually go check on the dining room menus earlier in the day, and if the menu doesn't have anything that sounds good, we do the buffet.

 

Hopefully someone else will pitch in who knows more specifically from Sea Princess.

If you speak with the headwaiter, each night he can bring you the next night's menu and you can work with him/her to select dishes that can be prepared for you without meat.

 

For example, if French onion soup is on the menu, they can make it not using a beef stock.

 

If you are in anytime dining, just inform your waiter each night that your dinner was already selected and is waiting for you.

Linen is one type of fabric I try to really avoid on a cruise. It wrinkles so badly.
