Cruise Food for Thought
The “Dining Experience” is a big part of cruising and by no means is it the grand experience it was half a century ago but it still is a major factor when selecting a cruise.
If you weren’t already aware of this you should know Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruise Lines are the same company.
Both lines announced recently they are making some major changes in their cuisine.
First of all, the change I am most interested in is that Celebrity and Chef Michael Roux are ending their 15 year relationship. Celebrity Cruise Lines is my personal favorite for many reasons, the cuisine was always tops. I am talking about excellent menu selection and variety, very good preparation and presentation of the plate. I am an amature chef with restaurant experience and I have an eye for and appreciate culinary excellence. Chef Michel Roux, pronounced Michelle Rew, earned his reputation for excellence at the Waterside Inn restaurant in England and he is associated with the Queen of England. A replacement executive chef hasn’t been announced yet but what I know about Celebrity Cruise lines is that he or she will be of equal quality and reputation or better. Hello, Wolfgang, your phone may be ringing.
Equally as important for many reasons their sister company Royal Caribbean announced they are eliminating “Trans Fats” from their menus. Trans Fats are a byproduct of chemically hydrogenated vegetable oil linked with diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, all of which lead to my nemesis, heart disease. Royal Caribbean tested the new trans-fat free menus on the Navigator of the Seas on November with no complaints.
I applaud Royal Caribbean for once again being an innovator in the cruise industry .
Now on the lighter side of all that, if they are serving healthier food there will be less heart attacks etc. on the ships so they can fire their doctors on board and lower the cruise rates with the savings, talk about a win / win situation.
That’s all from the Admiral for now!
