@scluvsrain - Can you post the menu from the Cellar Master's Dinner when you have time? 

 

Thank you and @Vict0riann, @Btimmer, and @travelingjones for your great reporting -  we will be onboard January 6!

UI took one for the team tonight, and I visited Club Orange at 7:20 on my way to the ladies’ room.  There were three couples in there.  

 

The Cellar Master’s dinner was very nice.  A little less food than we may have had on previous dinners, but that was good - I don’t feel completely overstuffed!  The staff were very attentive and made sure we were happy.  

 

I noticed that Sherita missed out on posting the very first course, the foie gras, which was luscious!

No charge for the food in Dutch Cafe.  There is a charge for the drinks.  But you don’t even have to buy a coffee to eat there.  We were discussing it the other day, and felt they could charge, it is so good, but we are happy they don’t.  But I think the Explorations Cafe is being neglected.  Who wants to go up to the Crows Nest when all the action is down on 2 and 3?

Thank, Ann!  I appreciate the info!

What was I thinking?  Here’s the first course. 

[scluvsrain]

Ann was right every course was delicious and I didn’t leave feeling I was overly full. 

It was just enough.

Thank you all so much for sharing all this info and taking all these amazing pics!

 

The only thing I can think of that would have made it better - that you had actually taken me along with you.

The Dutch Cafe is run the same way Princess Cruise line runs the International cafe

I would love to see the MDR breakfast menu, if you have a chance to post it.

Thanks!

Dreary day today  - it’s been raining.  Mariner Reception at 11:15 in the World Stage; it’s going to be a biggie!  Lunch in the Dining Room will follow.

And, Ann, thanks for taking one for the team to visit Club Orange. 😉

Except the International Cafe is open 24/7!

At the medallion ceremony, but the medals are missing.  Evidently they were shipped to the Bahamas.

Thanks for the Breakfast menu. For a second there I thought everything came with eggs... Yes, I am one of those weird people who do not like eggs....
