As we have mentioned in several previous posts, the meals on board the Diamond Princess are just fabulous. On a single cruise approximately 115 tons of food are delivered to the ship.
The amount of food prepared daily is impressive.
Fish 1400 pounds daily
Meat - poultry 1000 lbs, beef 1500 lbs, Pork 1200 lbs, veal 300 lbs and lamb 200 lbs
In addition 1600 lbs of salad are served daily, 400 lbs of shrimp, 10 gallons of mayonnaise, 1500 sandwiches, 400 lbs of pasta,
2300 lbs of potatoes, 2300 lbs of vegetables and 550 gallons of soup. As far as staffing goes 515 kitchen staff work under a variety of managers and all co-ordinated by an executive chef. Buon Appetito
The creations are excellent. Pictured here as well is one of Louise's favourites. It is a flower arrangement made out of all kinds of fruits and vegetables. And then there are the ice carvings as well which are impressive.
Princess Cruise Lines and the Diamond Princess are just first class. You really want for nothing on board and they have all kinds of staff including a doctor and small infirmary on board.
If we are able to do another cruise I would most certainly book Princess Cruise Lines as everything about them was first class.
