Emerald Princess Food and Patter Dec 18

[rideev]

Since Jamielogical is doing a live, I will attempt to only do a menu, good porn, and Patters from this cruise.

 

Since we had a delay (missed connection) in Chicago, I started out with a Chicago dog and can't believe I didn't get a picture.  Then on the plane, we had used airline miles and booked first class.  Had a great meal on AA.  This morning at the Irvine Marriott had a nice skillet.  And now, time to head to the ship.

And hopefully I will proofread before I hit "submit reply" in the future.  I will not be posting any good porn, but food porn pics.

Following along.  We are doing this same Itinerary on Feb. 16th.  Thanks for posting, looking forward to it!

Embarkation Patter

Embarkation lunch menu.  Got busy talking, but everything was good.  Was a a shared table and I think everything on the menu was ordered by someone.

Sail away dinner.

The shrimp appetizer.  Served warm.  Very good.  Not real garlicky.  Shrimp a little over cooked.  Still pretty good.

Tasty lasagna

And for dessert, Bananas Foster.

No fettuccine alfredo under princess favourites?  I don't recall it ever being missing. Maybe another change?

Day 2 patter.

Following…thank you!

No menu tonight as we are at the Crown Grill, and that menu is all over the Internet.  But here is the Patter for day 3, Cabo San Lucas.

I did order flowers for my wife's birthday.  You just go to the front desk after you get on board. I thought they were reasonably priced and when they showed up they were gorgeous. I was extremely pleased. And some people consider me a tightwad.  I would highly recommend. They make the room smell wonderful.

The floral arrangement is beautiful. Money well spent, and you will both enjoy them every day!

Another evening of no dinner.  We did the salsa and salsa excursion and are too much.  Great excursion.  One of the best we have been on.

Tonight's menu, first formal night

Day 5 patter 

[PRINCESS Sweet Pea]

Yes, by other information posted, no Prime Rib on the first night.  And the Alfredo is gone!  Maybe on offer on some nights.  These are 'improvements'?  And, the desserts too.  No souffle?   That Banana's Foster looks very good though!

 

How was the lasagna that is always on the menu?  It looks to be light on cheese, and very heavy on the meat.   Which isn't the way I like it.

I will be curious about the lasagna. I love a good lasagna. 

 

There was a milky chocolate hazelnut soufflé listed. 

 

Banana fosters - is that every night?

There has been a few souffles.  And they have been very good.  Especially the orange on embarkation lunch.

Lasagna was not bad.  I thought it was about right on meat and cheese.  However, there was no Ricotta, which I like and expected.

 

The deli meats in the buffet have been better than I remember.  I love them.  Much better than we get back home.  Reminds me of Germany.

Thank you!   keep posting!

The Lasagna does sound 'heavy' for me.

But, yes, the imported deli meats on Princess are great!

Good to hear that is still the case!

Tonight's menu.  And the giant meatball.  Was very tasty.
