CaribbeanCrush Posted February 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I was born in Maryland, but I live in Kansas City, MO. I grew up on fresh seafood, but I married a girl who for years wasn't a fan. She is getting better though. I always proudly announce/remind her that I have this thing that I do. Once we arrive in the port city (since seafood is readily available and fresh!) that I have to have seafood for, at least, dinner and lunches when possible. What food/s do you have to have on a cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollyFlyer Posted February 7, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I try not to have anything specific in mind, because I wouldn't want to spoil my mood if they run out. But I've yet to go hungry on a cruise -- there's always something tasty, and generally fancier than I'd ever bother to prepare at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonglo Posted February 9, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hmm lets see. I don't have to have anything specific but the foods that will turn my head at dinner are Salmon, prime rib and lobster. After that I'm open to suggestion. I've always found the items given on the ship to be delicious and always artfully presented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr green Posted February 9, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I enjoy the 'Mixed Grill' at lunch on Princess, it is usually served on the first full sea day, five different types of meat! After one of these I usually eat a light dinner! john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattakins Posted February 10, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) For awhile we were taking our kids on a cruise every year. On his very first one, our server told my son he could make him an Ice Cream Sunday, which was not on the menu. They got bigger and better each night, and by the end of that 14 day cruise, our server brought him the biggest, most colorful Sunday any of us has ever seen! Ever since, he always orders an Ice Cream Sunday for every desert while on board ship. We are taking the "kids" ( 21 & 17) again this summer, and I can't wait to see if he keeps up his tradition!

Cru1s1ng2009 Posted February 25, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Im a Maryland girl also so I go for the seafood every time. However, my favorite thing is royal's French toast on the buffet.:D:D I don't know why, its not something I eat any other time of the year. I just love it. I guess it means vacation to me now...

Foxinspace Posted February 26, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I gave up Chocolate for several years and so I didn't eat it while cruising. This time I'm getting a Carnival Chocolate melting cake. Last cruise I was pregnant and had to ask for all my meat well cooked. This time I'm looking forward to a nice med-rare steak. Also some Brie, which I didn't eat while pregnant either!! Pina Colada, which again I missed on our last cruise due to my baby bump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted February 27, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I don't eat Pasta at home,. but Princess' Alfredo in the Parmesan basket is a must have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtopia Posted February 28, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Over the last few cruises, I've really enjoyed the Lasagna served in the dining room on Italian night. However, seeing as how my next cruise will be leaving from Venice, I'm sure I'll have my share of it even before getting on the ship :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted February 29, 2016 #13 Share Posted February 29, 2016 My Grandson tried escargot when his Dad ordered it many years ago. I think he was around 6 or 7. He loved it and orders it on EVERY cruise with Royal. He's now 22 and was thrilled when they started offering it every night. He's tried it in restaurants but still swears that the best he's ever had is on RCCL. He waiter always brings him MULTIPLE orders because he absolutely INHALES it every night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the French Toast also, but we travel on Carnival. I like to put the strawberries and the blueberries on them and top them off with almond slices. The only problem is they only serve the FT every other day. [emoji45] Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted March 14, 2016 #15 Share Posted March 14, 2016 We eat a lot of good fodd at home, fresh vegetables ( like from the garden fresh) Aus and NZ Lamb ( probably the best in the world) great beef seafood that is fresh from the boats, so in all honesty there not much on a ship that beats it The Laredo on Princess I mentioned before and the just made bread. Everything else is really banquette or wedding food. OK but not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin'Christine Posted April 1, 2016 #18 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I always look forward to the chilled soups as an appetizer, as I never have these at home and I find them so refreshing. Also, I love to have creme brulee when cruising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BermudaStarz Posted April 26, 2016 #21 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Lobster, escargot, arinccini, and I love Salmon but have had to send it back 4 times now - always too dried out :( I will order it next trip but will order something else TOO.

uncleg Posted May 24, 2017 #25 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I very seldom eat breakfast when I am at home, but I treat myself when cruising to French Toast, something so simple makes me so happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
