BigKeith Posted March 24, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Just curious as to where you guys think you get the best Full Englishes at sea. Ive had a good few in my times and I'm tempted to plump for P&O on this one (suppose it is a British ship) but a few others come close Also, why don't American ships serve Black Pudding? The necessity of a top breakfast! Big Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEEDIA Posted March 25, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Big Keith, I think you should keep this quiet, we do not want our friends across the pond knowing what we have for our Breakies, have you seen what they eat Pancakes and Maple Syrup. do not give our Secrets away. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKeith Posted March 25, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I must say, I enjoy pancakes with syrup but definitely not for my breakfast. It's not a holiday (vacation) for me unless I'm getting my Full English :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmallett Posted March 26, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Also, why don't American ships serve Black Pudding? The necessity of a top breakfast! To be fair to Royal Caribbean, they do on Independence. "Proper" bacon too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizanessie Posted March 26, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 26, 2012 When cruising I have for breakfast - a big pile of what I call, ship bacon (streaky well cooked) with 2 fried eggs over medium with pancakes and blueberry syrup and toast on the side :D...oh and a hash brown ..and coffee and orange juice :D I love having a different kind of breakfast on a ship :D I do not like back bacon on a cruise ship....shudder :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEEDIA Posted March 27, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Thats the beauty of being on a Cruise Holiday, plenty of food so you can have strange combinations and no body looks at you like you have two heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bull Posted March 27, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Do they when she sails out of Ft Lauderdale? Ive only sailed her out of Southampton Yuck, no :eek: RCI normally use streaky & cook it crispy. Then they cook it some more. Then more. Then leave it under the warming lamps for a minimum of three weeks, before allowing it to go cold & then serving it. Clueless bloody heathens :D Their breakfast standards are about the same as SeaFrance. And SeaFrance went bust.:p If you want a full-cholesterol english breakfast, go with a Brit ship. Fortunately I don't know of any scottish cruise ships. Porridge. Yuck. More heathens :D JB :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jocap Posted March 27, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Oh, I always have the porridge, JB.....but instead of the sugarless type we cook at home, I add the sticky, gooey treacle....I had to help a lovely elderly Scottish man on a Princess ship.....he'd seen my porridge but couldn't find it. We were standing next to the oatmeal pot at the time. My other fall from grace on board is the fried bread, something I never, ever eat except on a cruise, with a couple of eggs on top.....:p Jo.

There's Hebridean Princess of Hebridean Island Cruises and there is Majestic Cruise Line with two wonderful little cruise boats. All of these vessels serve the finest food. Certainly, as they have very small passenger capacity, they are way ahead of the horrid mass-catering found aboard the likes of Royal Caribbean or P&O etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The necessity of a top breakfast! Big Keith We sailed on Equinox in Dec 09 from Fort Lauderdale to the Caribbean, they did both English (proper) bacon and Black Pudding. We were in Aqua class and their emphasis in there is lean cuisine, you should have seen some of the faces on the health food nuts when we ordered the full breakfast in Blu (the Aqua class speciality restaurant):D they did have everything for a full English in the buffet restaurant but they cut the english sausage into bite size pieces before putting them in the trays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojo2012 Posted March 28, 2012 #17 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Big Keith you are right. The Aqua class dining menu is amazing. Incredible Fresh smoothies, freshly squeezed juice and wonderful eggs with grilled asparagus. And of course the full English. Impossible choice from possibly the prettiest dining room for breakfast afloat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveH2508 Posted March 28, 2012 #18 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I usually head for the omelette station for cheese and mushroom omelette; Canadian ham if no 'proper' bacon available and hash browns. I did see black pudding once on NCL (Ireland cruise) and sometimes they have passable back bacon but one needs to go with the flow - US lines have some good breakfast stuff but do not really understand the great British fry-up (wot no fried bread? :eek:).

cruiser1955 Posted March 29, 2012 #24 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Best for me has been on Cunard. They even manage to provide warm toast in the MDR. P&O come a close second but never had warm toast with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted March 29, 2012 #25 Share Posted March 29, 2012 There was one of those toast machines in the buffet on NCL Jade- watched over by a crew member with steely determination. The first time, she puzzled me by demanding to know if I needed an "English Muffin"....something which foxed me for a few days until I tried one (a sort of bap). The toast was hot, when she allowed you a slice.....:rolleyes: Jo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
