yes all food it looks delicious i luv to get experience of this Cruise ship
thank you!
Lovely food assortments and wonderful video guys. Really enjoyed it! Thanks for taking us along
Thanks so much! 🥰
I gotta say you guys really took advantage of everything the cruise offers and that’s amazing! We gotta learn from you! The food looked amazing and all cruises have the best staff. Great video! 😃
we definitely didn’t eat like that every day of the cruise, but it was fun to spend the day exploring all the options!
Wow, this is clever I would have never thought about a food tour video on a cruise. This is the first video I have seen. Well done. All the food looks delicious and the cocktails 🍸
Aw, thank you guys! We figured for as curious as we were about the food before we cruised, other first-timers must be, too!
That boat was a rockin! So many food options to chose from! Great video showing all the different options that are available.
Lol, it WAS on that particular day! And yeah, we were more than well-fed on that cruise. Thanks John! ❤️
Oo, great video, one of the perks of cruising - the food!!! It all looked really good and it was nice to see that the staff are hot on the cleanliness and surfaces. Very elegant with your afternoon tea! Loved it allX it looks to be a great ship. The medallions are cool with ordering, that’s a new one on me, how times have changed! Thanks for sharing. 🍻
yeah, those medallions are really neat. they have scanners all over the ship, so they always know where you are. you can even track other members of your party on the cruise’s app!
We are so jealous. We love cruises and especially the food. This ship has a good selection of restaurants. Thanks for letting us experience it virtually through you.
thanks for joining us!
Awesome video! You managed to make me hungry! Thanks for posting, looking forward to more of your videos
mission accomplished! we’re actually going on another cruise next month with a different cruise line. it’ll be interesting to see how the food compares. of course we’ll be making a video all about it!
Everything looks great, especially the sticky toffee pudding. Fancy. ✨🌱📺🙋
we did feel kinda posh 😁
Smiling and laughing all the way through this one. Loved it!
lol! we try to entertain! 😆
NIce to see how the food is! Can't wait to go on a cruise one day, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Have any place in mind?
Thanks so much for setting the record straight on the “afternoon tea“! 💕
no, thank YOU! I had no idea what the difference was, so your comment prompted me to double-check. Always learning!
This is a great food tour. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful food on this ship!
thanks! next cruise is on Royal Caribbean. What do you think - a comparison video? Who has the better food?
@@StephenandAndie that would be great! Royal Caribbean does have pretty good food!
Great tour of the ship, as well!
thanks! it was so huge, we were still figuring out our way around half-way into the trip.
Yum! That's so cool that they'll deliver your food wherever you are on the ship!
we really wanted to place an order and start wandering all around the ship to see if they’d be able to catch us, but we thought that would be mean. Plus, we really wanted our dessert. 😂
Mhhhm! Seems like some wonderful variety to choose from! Hopefully you'll be able to see some exciting wild life out the ships window while you eat! 🐳
we saw dolphins one day and a humpback whale while having breakfast another morning!
Thanks guys, what a helpful video. Patti and I have definitely been enjoying these cruising videos, thinking..........maybe.....! I like that there are many options, I guess I shouldn't be surprised by that, because as long as I can remember about cruises, everyone talks about the food! 🥤😎
Thanks! That's great to hear that we've got you considering it! And yeah, there's definitely a lot to choose from - and we didn't even cover the "specialty dining" options here. We think you'd do ok!
Mmmmm now I am hungry. You two found the perfect spot to enjoy your Bloody Mary's.
The Good Spirit bar experience looked awesome, we would want to try both of the drinks you ordered!
we were tempted to keep going back and try them all! 😂
@@StephenandAndie i am impressed that you didn't give into the temptation...i think we would have LOL
Thanks for posting!
Thank you for watching!
This ship has a great selection of food & the staff looks so friendly! It was a bad idea to watch this when we were hungry because now we are REALLY hungry 😂 The food looked so yummy!
yeah, we probably should have started the vlog with a warning. 😂
@@StephenandAndie 😂😂😂
Great video! Pinkies up!
we're posh like that. 😆
Oh my lordy there really is soamazing to consider the vast selection of food that's available, and it all looks so wonderfully delicious too! You could easily live like royalty during your time there!
cruise ship eating is gluttonous. 😅
Y’all are so fun. Love those ocean views! I’ve actually never had a Bloody Mary, but I’m curious about them! Cheers! 🍻-A
If you like tomato juice, you'll probably like them! They can be made spicy, if you like that, too. Some places put all kinds of garnishes in them - even things like shrimp or a piece of bacon! Let us know if you ever make it out to Los Angeles, and we'll send you to our friend's place in Hollywood for our favorite Bloody Marys at St. Felix!
Food looks good, specially the bakery and the bar. Mom, I am eating my vegetables, lol. Great video again.
She trained me well. 😅 Unfortunately most of the baked goods were on the dry side, which is why we gave the food an overall B grade. But they had a ton of options, which was fun!
Waoo everything is very perfect I like you vlog amazing food is so yummy
thank you!
The pizza in the thumbnail looks so yummy! Wow that elegant dinner room looks amazing. Nice edit with music in the bakery! Great information in such a delicious vlog. Maybe someday we can go have tea at the drake hotel in Chicago! We are not so sure jenny would be able to handle the motion sickness in a cruise. Thank for sharing such a great informative and fun video!
I (Andie) was so worried about motion sickness. I can't even drive through the little mountains here in North Carolina without stopping! But it was honestly fine. This was the only day I felt a little queasy, and if I had taken something or chewed on some of my ginger chews, it probably would have gone away pretty quickly. Tea at the Drake sounds awesome - it's a date!
Ohhh let's eat yummm ..
sooooooo many options!
Wow the cruise so fantastic we went on the cruise last 2 weeks ago but wasn’t the same as you.
Would love to experience someday
Enjoy guys for beautiful video
Thank you! Where did you cruise to, and which cruise line? 😃
Both drinks sounded very fun. Love potatoes au gratin! Chocolate Cake and Key Lime Pie!!!!!???? So jealous!
there were so many options. unfortunately the cake was dry, so I stole some of Stephen’s key lime dessert. 😆
Awesome video👍👍👍 ciao from 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
thank you! we LOVE Italy! What part of the country are you from?
That dessert made me hungry!
Key lime pie!!!! 💚💚💚
it was better than the chocolate cake (says the chocaholic). Unfortunately almost all of the baked goods on board were dry. That was the major reason for the B grade in our review.
If I had a daughter, I would want a Son-In-Law just like Stephen. Great choice Andie!! My wife and myself were on this ship when it first started sailing. Went from Rome to Shanghai and yes...it's a fabulous ship! Happy to see the crew wearing masks and taking all the necessary precautions.
yeah, I did good with him. 🥰 Rome to Shanghai sounds like an amazing journey!
Cruise ship food always looks interesting and I've kind of questioned whether it was any good or not. But it definitely looks and probably tastes good!
I’ve always heard it can be excellent. By the end of the week, we were feeling like it was just okay. I think it’s resort quality rather than restaurant quality, if that makes any sense?
So wow
thank you!
Eating around the cruise ship! What I did with our last cruise trip. It's great. :)
such a great way to learn your way around the ship and pass a day at sea, isn’t it?
Ive probably watched this at just the wrong time, just woke up, switched my laptop on at home for work and see all this delicious food. I can see today now being a bad food day 😋🙈
Great selection of stuff on the cruise though, plenty to chose from for sure.
oh no! we should have started with a warning. 😁
@@StephenandAndie 😂
This gets me SO inspired to book another CRUISE!!!!!!!!!
yes! where would you go?
Hahaha…. dirty birds. That Butterfly drink looked stellar.
it was good! not my usual order, but I thought it would be more fun for the video.
I'm so glad that we ate before watching this because there are so many options! Love the drink package! We loved your drink package for free! YAY Blooody Mary Right!?!? Wow, Had to look up HIGH TEA vs. AFTERNOON TEA. Guess we have never done high before HAHA. 2nd drinks looked amazing too and loved that it was changing colors. those DIRTy BIRDS NEED TO GO! I feel like we would enjoy this so much! HAHA. Tracking Devices are very interesting too! Thanks for sharing
lol! so funny we finally had a couple of videos do really well. I guess we need to just keep going on cruises? 😆 I had no idea the difference between high tea and afternoon tea until Dara (Magenta Otter) caught me saying the wrong one in a community post while I was editing this vlog. Thank goodness she pointed it out so I could correct myself!
It's so cool to get a little preview of what cruises are like. How big did the waves have to be to shake a boat that size like that?
The food all looked great... and so fancy! And they can find you with those cards??? Crazy!!
the water didn’t seem very rough, so I don’t think it took much to rock the boat. I didn’t see any big waves around us. the medallions are cool. they have scanners all over the ship, so they always know where you are. you can also track other members of your own party in their app, so I could never hide from Stephen. 😂
I need AnonyMommy to say that phrase on the first words of your vid on my alarm.
Small portions…key. So key.
Now the 70’s r&b song “Rock the Boat” is in my head.
Baked leek? Hmmmmm….
Grilled cheese & shrimp on the table? Yesyesyesyes. (With veggies.)
Nice Mick Jagger cameo.
Yeah, dessert was not going to hang around.
I was raised by a Polish mom and grandparents. I eat “weird” things. 😆 now that song’s in MY head! 🤣
@@StephenandAndie Lost your comment on the latest…but the kid is a night owl!!!
@@SorgiStories yeah - TH-cam’s been really dodgey on the comment front lately. Apparently it’s been an ongoing problem for quite some time, but only recently for us.
I would be aaaallll over the inclusive specialty coffees haha.
those were definitely our main reason for enjoying the drinks package! ☕️
Everything looks Amazing!! 😍
My name is Barb and im New to your channel my friend and I really enjoyed your video.. Thanks! ☺
hi and welcome! we’re glad you found us!
@@StephenandAndie
Me too! ☺
NO WAY!!! You had STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING!!!! Did you think of me?!?!
of course! we were also curious if all of the little British things were typical of cruises in general or if it was specific to this ship because of its Chinese roots? I think this ship typically sails in the Australasian Pacific, with stops in Hong Kong, Sydney, etc?
I would never get to leave the ship with all those food options to chose from - and come home a lot heavier! Nice explanation of teh places to eat there!
seriously, there’s almost no reason to eat off-ship! except that Alaska had the most amazing and freshest seafood we’ve had in ages, so the food even at casual spots was 100% worth it. It was definitely a win-win situation!
When you talk about the boat rocking, it totally makes me want to stick to my plan of never doing a cruise!
If it helps, it was mostly just that one day. The weirder thing was that we had that "mal de debarquement syndrome" for a couple of weeks after the cruise!
Damn I really didn't realise just how much beautiful food was on offer on these cruise ships! You could easily live and feast for weeks there!
so true!
I am here for the pizza on the thumbnail!! Looks amazing guys 😍
9am is a bit early to finish breakfast in our book too 🤣
Afternoon tea is THE BEST!!
The ship looks amazing!! What a fab trip!
@@googlpanda yeah, we're not morning people, so that felt a little like punishment. But we had to do it for the vlog! 😂
@@googlpanda it was fun on the ship, but we can't wait to have it for real in ENGLAND! one day...
Small Portions leads to trying more food! Sticky Toffee Sounds good, but not sure about eating a shoe as a dessert. Afternoon Tea sounds too fancy for us! lol.
lol! I thought it sounded like “shoe” too, when I was editing. I mean, it does, but you know. choux/shoe, tomayto/tomahto. 😂
Can’t go wrong with grilled cheese!🧀
always a solid choice.
You're making me hungry! My appetite is ruined for the day.
then our job is done. 😉
how much weight did you gain? The food looks irresistable! I'm taking my first Ruby Princess cruise in October. Is there a scale on the ship? All in good fun, thanks for the video!
🤣 we were too scared to weigh ourselves after this trip. But wait… isn’t it true that vacation calories don’t count? 😉
@@StephenandAndie I'm an award winning overeater and binger. It looks dangerous and perilous, but I'm all in, anyway!
Random question do y’all know if they have Latin nights in the cruise?
Good question! Not sure. The events on our cruise were pared down, due to Covid and trying to avoid too many people gathering too close together. They always had music and dancing in the Palazzo, though (the open center area of the ship) and there were often latin standards mixed into the playlist. We saw some couples take the floor who were really great dancers - reminded us of you two!
Eating was always our favorite part of the cruises but sometimes the bill at the end of the cruise was scary. But it was all me because my wife doesn’t drink alcohol 😆
we were so lucky to get the drinks package for free, so we didn't have to worry about that. Nothing kills vacation vibes more than getting hit with a huge tab at the end! 😅
21.33. I've sailed with Princess many times but have never heard of drinks package being thrown in for free, can you explain how you got this please.
we went at the during/almost post pandemic time when cruising was just starting up again, so they were offering great deals and packages to incentivize people to travel. we also booked through a travel agent who specializes in cruises. I’m not sure of one or both of those factors worked in our favor, but it must have as it was nothing we did to get it.
Do you tip? Or is there a service charge?
that’s a great question. In this case, and we understand it’s the case on many cruises, there is a fee per day added to your room bill, which is meant for crew gratuities. They add it on automatically and based on the level of cabin you book (so a higher amount if you book a suite). However, I’ve heard that it’s possible to opt out of this fee. I’m not sure how to go about that, though. I’ve also heard different reports on how much of that actually goes to the crew. So for that reason, we did leave an additional cash tip for many of the food service personnel and bartenders we encountered, as well as our cabin steward. But just like tipping anywhere else, that’s entirely up to you.
So only one dining room, a cafe, and a buffet? Seems pretty limited. And I could barely see any of the actual food options on the buffet, camera moved too fast.
Is afternoon tea extra?
it was included! you’d just want to make a reservation, as it’s popular and has limited seating. but they did it on a couple of days on our cruise, so there may be multiple opportunities to get in.
@@StephenandAndie awesome thank you
What is the difference in the morning? I see there is two choices.
@@karennewsom6017 not sure, as there was only afternoon tea on our cruise.
I meant to say main dining room I guess when I put mdr my phone autocorrected.
As a English person NO pinky
Is there such thing a cruise 15 😂😂😂
yes! we can confirm from experience! 🤣
You said you were "going to take the time to check out all the food options here onboard" the Majestic Princess, but you left out way too many restaraunts. You didn't even mention the Chef's Table I was hoping to learn about. What a rip! Thumbs down!
we’re sorry we let you down. we realize we didn’t state until later in the video that we were going to the places that were included in the reservation. We will be more careful to state all details like that up front. Unfortunately the other restaurants, including the Chef’s Table, are specialty dining and cost additional. We will be mindful to be more clear in the future.
Your on vacation you should enjoy and get a little tipsy or sloppy drunk who the hell cares!
totally agree, if that’s what you enjoy!
