Saturday, December 2, 2023

Princess Cruises, a globally renowned cruise brand, is introducing an exciting enhancement to its culinary offerings through a new collaboration with the legendary Hall of Fame pitcher and rancher, Nolan Ryan. Guests sailing on Regal Princess from Galveston can now savor the excellence of Goodstock by Nolan Ryan Angus beef. This premium Black Angus beef, graded at the highest levels of USDA Choice and above, boasts exceptional marbling, tenderness, and natural flavors, providing an extraordinary dining experience.

Under the partnership titled “Princess Cruises Brings the Ranch to the High Seas with Goodstock by Nolan Ryan,” the renowned rancher, Nolan Ryan, upholds rigorous standards for his beef program, emphasizing the well-being of the cattle and the land. This quality beef is now available in Crown Grill, the ship’s award-winning steakhouse, and the main dining rooms.

Nolan Ryan, celebrated for his illustrious four-decade baseball career, where he still holds the record for the most strikeouts, brings his iconic presence to Princess Cruises. Recognized on and off the field, Ryan received the prestigious Golden Spur award for his enduring commitment and contributions to the livestock and ranching industries.

Sami Cohen, Vice President of Food and Beverage for Princess Cruises, expressed the honor of welcoming Nolan Ryan to the Princess Cruises family, highlighting Goodstock by Nolan Ryan Angus beef as a unique, all-American addition to their culinary portfolio. Ryan also shared his enthusiasm, stating, “This is a great opportunity to bring an incredible dining experience and the Texas ranching spirit to Princess Cruises’ guests, and we are honored to serve them for years to come.”

As the only player in Major League history to have his uniform retired by three esteemed teams—the California Angels, Houston Astros, and Texas Rangers—Nolan Ryan’s iconic status in sports adds another layer of distinction to Princess Cruises’ offerings.

The inclusion of the Goodstock by Nolan Ryan portfolio underscores Princess Cruises’ commitment to delivering exceptional culinary experiences for its guests. This announcement follows a recent collaboration with Dario Cecchini, the world’s most famous butcher, introducing The Butchers Block by Dario, an impromptu bistro onboard the next-generation Sun Princess, set to debut in February 2024.
