Princess recently introduced a new lunch menu to be served fleet-wide in the main dining room (MDR). Unlike the previous menu, which changed daily, this new menu is the same every day with the exception of two rotating items (the last two items under “mains” on the menu below are the two rotating items for that day). The new menu includes:
Here’s the new menu (note that the paella and the baked potato & grilled salmon are the two rotating items, so those will be swapped out for other items each day for up to 14 days at which point they will repeat again).
Many on long itineraries have expressed disappointment at having the same menu every day, while others (especially those on shorter itineraries) are pleased with the number and variety of choices. However you feel about the change, it appears to be the latest effort to streamline food offerings to simplify and cut costs (this is happening across the board on most major non-luxury lines). So with that…
Class Dismissed!
I recommend always buying travel insurance to cover your cruise, but never purchase it through Princess. It costs more and usually covers less than policies you purchase on your own. I go through sites like travelinsurance.com* to compare plans and prices and get the best deal for the coverage I want. Spend less on insurance and spend more on excursions, special onboard cruise experiences and…future cruises!
Homework (10 points): Share your thoughts on this new fixed menu to the comments.
