Princess food

[Boatingmom]

I know this is subjective but what one food item offered on Princess, that is not to be missed? (Not including the specialty restaurants or extra fee). Just wondering. in 1995 I had beef tenderloin wrapped in a crust (Beef Wellington) on a HAL ship that to this day I remember. Is there a dish like this on the Regal Princess??

I haven't done my cruise yet, but from what I've read these items are extremely popular:

 

- Fettuccine Alfredo in Parmesan bowl

- Any pizza at Alfredo's

- Anything that's got the word "souffle"

- The volcano (banana split type dessert)

- The love boat dream dessert

 

I'll have my own personal list by the end of February. ;)

Escargot. It's the only item I've ever asked the Head Waiter for that wasn't on the menu.

Not a huge meat eater and LOVE Fettuccine Alfredo in Parmesan bowl you can even get it as a starter not as a meal :).

[skynight]

I like the panini sandwiches and salads at the International Cafe. Not too filling, very tasty. Good for lunch and also dinner at times. If you are on the Regal or Royal try Alfredo's, open 11am to 11pm. Both of these are no charge.

The goat cheese soufflé is always a hit. Plus the peanut butter cookies are some of the best ever. I also LOVE the flourless cake too.

[MsCalabash]

For me it is the escargot, goat cheese souffle, and the dessert souffles.

 

Also, I really look forward to the honey mustard salad dressing, and that's something I seldom care for on land. Don't know why I enjoy it so much at sea. I have only had it in the MDR; don't know whether it's the same or available at the buffet.

 

There are many (many, many) other Princess food items I enjoy, but the above are the items that stand out, to me, as unique to cruise eating.

[Loonbeam]

Yes, they do have beef wellington, usually second formal night. Wasn't the best dish on the cruise but people do seem to like it.

[Colo Cruiser]

S car go.

[CruisinChris]

All of their pasta dishes are really good. The rack of lamb has always been amazing. Those are the big standouts to me.

[Lovetocruiseprincess]

I haven't been on the Regal in a while but it's similar to the other ships the Beef Wellington is usually served at the buffet on formal nights. We just throw away the outer layer & eat the rare inside portion. Even if we eat in the DR for dinner we always stop at the buffet to sample items later in the evening before they close.

Ask the server to add shrimp or prawns to the fettuccine alfredo, magnificent...

At the International Café, my wife fell in love with the Waldorf Salad. I couldn't get enough of the shrimp salad.

[stoneharborlady]

Another salad favorite at the International Cafe, the chicken salad. They will put it on a croissant for you if you ask.

 

In the MDR, the beef medallions for dinner, followed by the creme brulee for dessert.

My favorite pizza is to be had on Lido Deck, at Prego Pizza. The BEST!!

YUM!!!

Regal serves Beef Wellington on the second formal night of a seven night cruise. However, as it was the one meal I was genuinely looking forward to last week, I can unfortunately report that it has slid in quality. Slid way down. Very disappointing.

The ravioli I've eaten have been very good. One was a vegetarian version that was on the embarkation day menu. I had it in August, but the menu had changed when we were on the same ship (Caribbean Princess) last month. There's a version with meat offered as a pasta course on one of the dinner menus.

Probably depends on the chef... we had Beef Wellington a few weeks ago on Crown Princess and it was tasty..

This might be somewhat off-topic, but I found most of the offerings at the chef's table dinner to be truly exceptional compared to the other food served on board - with the possible exception of the pizza!

[LidoLiz]

Anchovy pizza on the Lido deck, piping hot out of the oven, with chili flakes and extra parm. I think it's called the "Romano."

[TracieABD]

Love, love, love the goat cheese souffle!!!

[Boatingmom]

It all sounds solo good. My daughter will love the Alfredo pasta bowl. I too M partial to escargot.Thanks and keep them comimg

I'm lactose intolerant, so the dessert cakes were some of the best I've had on the Emerald. They were so good that my non-lactose intolerant family even wanted them.

 

Only disappointment was finding out it was from a mix instead of a recipe. I was told it was the only way to ensure that it was lactose free.

Well, for an extra hundred bucks it should be. Of course, it also includes all that wine. What I discovered was that the amazing chocolate dessert from my first CT was being served, almost identical, in the MDR on my next cruise, and that the osso bucco agnolotti, my fave from my 2nd CT is on the 50th Anniverary menu.

 

My faves - for the record - include the goat cheese soufflé (of course), most of the cold fruit soups, pumpkin crepes, flourless chocolate cake, most all the Chocolate Journeys desserts, the Thai mussels, and the chicken korma can be quite lovely. Alfredo's on the Royal had great veal agnolotti. Oh, and the snails. Last formal night I skipped the lobster and the Wellington and tried the pheasant instead. It was delish.

 

(BTW, the appetizer fettuccine doesn't come in the Parmesan bowl, and either way, I don't know what the fuss is about.)

 

Thank goodness my next cruise is in less than a month. I just made myself hungry for Princess' food.

My husband and I both love the smoked duck breast and the stilton cheese moose- they are different appetizers but usually served on the same night- if you combine the two it is amazing (so good we ordered another round for dessert!). We also really like the goat cheese soufflés.

Hubby and I are both lactose intolerant too, but we discovered lactaid pills that allow us to eat dairy, within reasonable amounts, with none of the usual Ill affects or discomfort. That being said, I'll definitely be looking for dessert cakes you mentioned.
