Talking about the cruise vacations it means talking about the food prepared and served on board. Some people took a cruise vacation not only to have a good time and relaxed onboard the ship but also because of the food reason.
A lot of food prepared marvelously in various presentations and served them to you during the cruise. On cruise ship you may eat five times or even more a day. As the food and beverage department on board of the ships scheduled meal hours more than five times a day, besides regular breakfast, lunch and dinner they served tea time and midnight buffet as well, thus 24 hours Lido coffee and tea self service.
One cruise ship basically has more than three or four different kinds of restaurant and cuisine style. Formal Dinning Room as main restaurant, normally located on two decks, upper level and lower level, which can accommodate 600 pax per sitting, even 12 hundred pax per sitting on a bigger ship, like Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Sea. On every Holland America Ship you can find Lido Restaurant open for 24 hours. This self service restaurant prepares American food, Italian food, Chinese and other famous cuisines from all over the world. For the spices lovers you can try Indonesian, Thai or Pilipino food.
And also you can enjoy yourself sitting in a glamour bar or relax reading a book while enjoying your favorite drinks at sofa in beautiful lounge facing to the sea. Always there is some live music performance in lounge for you.
Normally during the cruise under control of one Chef Executive, some kitchen staffs would do some cooking demonstration and ice carving demonstration in front of the passenger by the Lido pool Deck.
The highlight of food presentation was going to be at Last Captain Dinner or Farewell Dinner with candlelight. All best quality and most favorite food served all together in main dining room at a night. The menu should be very tempting. They served Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, Sevruga and Molossol Caviar, Escargots Bourguignon, Pate de Foie Gras, the famous Onion Soup and Caesar salad for the appetizers. In main courses they have Broiled Lobster Tails or Lobster Termidor, Fillet Mignon or Prime Rib of Beef, Racks of Lamb, Beef Wellington or Medallion of Veal.
And for those who have problem with some food or allergic of something you don’t have to worry about. They will always help you preparing your special request regarding your dietary, allergy or passion, including kosher food that should be ordered a night before.
And for the dessert you would have Baked Alaska (colossal parade of ice cream presentation served in meringue accompanied with flaming cheery jubilee) and spectacular dessert chocolate extravaganza at midnight buffet.
Bon Appetite …
I f you are a big eater …Beware of gain weight after…
