Hi greenfish187

Can't help on the Headliners/Cd question...I don't bother all that much about that.

I prefer Horizon Grill to Cafe Jardin - although the last meal we had in Cafe Jardin was ok.

If the weather is poor (or on colder weather cruises) part of the Plaza is converted into an indoor venue for the Horizon Grill. It is kept completely separate from the rest of the room - so it doesn't feel like you're eating in the buffet. They also provide the nice table linen etc that you would expect.

Greenfish, the CD in Jan/FEb was Nigel someone, can't for the life of me remember his surname but he was orange. Cafe Jardin serves mainly pizza in the evening but the Horizon Grill is nice (tell them you like your chips well done) otherwise they're al dente :D

Cant help with the 1st part but can with the 2nd. We came off oceana on saturday, Cafe Jardin isnt worth the cover charge. We were originally going to have an evening meal in there after we got married but when we read the menu we decided against that as we didnt feel pizza was suitable for such an occasion. I believe from others that the brekkie is good though. Horizon grill was superb, we sat outside and had an amazing steak if the weather isnt great part of the plaza is sectioned off and tables moved inside. Hope that helps

Greenfish, if you haven't already done so, look at the Cafe Jardin thread, page 3. The current evening menu is there. It's worth paying the extra to eat in Horizons. CJ is too noisy. The staff, howver, especially head waiter Dennis, are excellent.

Appearances can be deceiving, cubie. It's unpleasantly cool and windy.

Gib today is cool and dull with showers coming... Just to get us in the mood for the homecoming!

CD was Leanne can't remember her surname. Good CD, really approachable and friendly. Headliners were brilliant, all really good singers and the dancers were great - even manged the Dirty Dancing lift in rocky conditions1

Didn't try either select dining place in the evening. Cafe Jardin was nice for lunch, good menu choice. Also good for bedtime snacks. The staff were lovely and remembered what drinks we wanted after a couple of nights

Leanne's surname is Taylor.

I copied out the Menu B for Cafe Jardin, will post it later.
