One for the British. Because we do love our food and drink!

Well we all know that a major part of cruising is the amazing dining and beverage options available!  People say to pack some clothes that are a little bigger or more flexible as you are going to need them by the end of the cruise.  I know this is always true in my case.  Princess cruises have recently announced that on-board one of their ships, The Crown Princess, for Spring and Summer sailings this year from Southampton they will be including options specifically requested by British passengers to add that extra taste from home to your cruise.

Do you ever go on holiday and crave a traditional roast dinner, fish and chips or a curry?  These are all now some of the options that will be available on these sailings.  There will be even more traditionally British options available on sea days.  You can enjoy pub lunch options including a Lancashire hotpot, Cottage Pie and Cornish pasties.  There will be afternoon tea with scones, jam and cakes.  They will also offer a wider range of British teas or if you fancy something a bit stronger there will also be more British beers and Ales available on-board.

As if they’re not doing enough for us, on-board the Crown Princess they will also be offering extras to celebrate special British occasions.  This will include Wimbledon screenings teamed up with champagne or Pimms and strawberries.  As a tennis fan myself this would be a great addition to keep in touch with all the action in style.

Variety is however the spice of life and for those of you worrying that this will impact upon the huge choice of international cuisine and beverages available on-board then this will definitely not be the case.  All of these options are offered on top of the many existing dining and beverage choices so it will only add more choice to your cruise menus!
