smokeybandit Posted February 12 Report Posted February 12 Chef's special? Do you mean the nightly chef's recommendations? Quote
SeaSunnedTraveler Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 Do treats (choc covered strawberries, cakes, cookies, etc) randomly appear throughout the day? Perhaps a nice cheese tray? Quote

Perhaps a nice cheese tray? In a7 day sailing they deliver a plate-typically some variety of mini cupcakes or some I cakes ( really mini). I haven’t seen chocolate covered strawberries or cheese plates. If you want a cheese plate go to windjammer buffet. I believe they have cheese at both the lunch and the dinner buffet. if you have access to the Crown lounge or suite lounge you might find chocolate covered strawberries one night. Sweety 1 Quote
WAYNO Posted February 20 Report Posted February 20 The treats left in the cabin... I don't know all the when's or why's, but treats just appear. A cheese sampler or fruit sampler with a chocolate strawberry is common. On some cruises they appear multiple times, on others they appear only once. Not much different than the casino wine left in the cabin. We've received 4 bottles on some cruises, and on our last cruise we received just one. I would also like to know about the Chef's Special, if it is in-fact different than the Chef's Choice Gift or Chef's Amenity. Quote

That's pretty much what's common on most ships Quote
JimnKathy Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 We've found the chocolate-covered strawberries to be extremely lackluster...they look FAR better than they taste. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote

Real chocolate, not American chocolate. For most Americans, that means they're not sweet enough. Whatever strawberries are left over after using the good ones for serving that requires presentation. That means the less ripe or overripe berries. Combine the two factors and lackluster is what you get. Quote
rjac Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Could be the Chef greeting you with a firm handshake and a hearty "Welcome Aboard, enjoy what I have prepared just for you". Quote
