sirclean Posted April 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 10, 2023 It didnt exactly have it when we were on the week of Thanksgiving (2022). They did have the general food choices in one section of the Buffet (I think on the first sea day). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthens Posted April 11, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Just off the Discovery, there wasn't a Pub Lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzOdy Posted April 11, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Was sad to see this go. It was an at sea day treat for this British expat. At least they seem to be giving up with the pay-for gastro-pub experiment and replacing it with an Irish pub (so I've read) on the Enchanted.

As noted in a post above, there have been numerous reports from many different ships that the Pub Lunch fare has been served in the buffet on the first Sea Day. Make sure to check that out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted April 11, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Somehow I just don't think I can get into a "Pub Experience" atmosphere while at the buffet... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsp Posted April 11, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I think the pub lunch only existed to sell alcohol in the wheelhouse bar, now most passengers are on drinks packages their is no incentive for Princess to carry it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulco Posted April 11, 2023 #8 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Had pub lunch in mdr on board the Crown last fall. Was really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirclean Posted April 11, 2023 #9 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I agree that the Pub Lunch Experience is not captured when the food is on the buffet. I also agree with Antsp that it may have been a beer experience that also fed you. I dont think that you will get a properly poured Guinness in the buffet (and certainly not as fast) as you would in the other area! Ive never been to an actual pub, so I dont know if they serve their food buffet style, and then you have to search for a seat (hoping for one near a window, or away from noisy kids!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Fish and Chips is good, and I have a seat on the Lido deck with a window view of the ocean, I can definitely get in the mood. Certainly not a "Pub" atmosphere. But to be honest, 90% of all the Fish and Chips I eat are either takeaway orders at a seaside location, or from a diner-style counter service establishment and not a pub. So I don't need the pub atmosphere as much as I need a "chippie" atmosphere. 20 minutes ago, antsp said: I think the pub lunch only existed to sell alcohol in the wheelhouse bar, now most passengers are on drinks packages their is no incentive for Princess to carry it on. Seems logical. Only I would say that there is no incentive for Princess to carry on the practice of serving the food in a venue with good beer choices. There is still incentive to serve the food itself, seeing how Princess has its roots so deeply embedded in the British tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpeabody Posted April 11, 2023 #11 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I am currently on the Island Princess World Cruise. We have had the Pub Lunch as we knew it pre-pandemic in the Bayou Cafe several times. Same menus. I have no way of knowing if this is unique to the world cruise or not. I have also heard but not seen myelf that there has been fish and chips in the buffet as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmoger Posted April 11, 2023 #12 Share Posted April 11, 2023 It was offered as part of the menu in the MDR on the Enchanted in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpalmquist Posted April 11, 2023 #13 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Was on the Ruby Princess a month ago and the Pub Lunch was served in the MDR. It was the longest line for the dining room on the entire cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Irish pub that serves Scotch eggs 🤣 As my Irish friends say not another plastic paddy pub. (Actually they are not as polite in their choice of words).

neverbeenhere Posted April 12, 2023 #16 Share Posted April 12, 2023 To many, the inception of the Scotch egg coming from an English city is astonishing enough news i stole this writing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably another disappointment in pursuit of the shareholder value. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
