Contents of Celebrity ships' 14 Main Dining Room menus -- as of mid-2010

Good day, fellow CruiseCritic [CrCr] members!

 

I'm going to start by letting you know that this opening post is VERY long, but if you are interested in the subject mentioned in the "Title" of the thread, I think that you will not regret taking the time to read this!

 

 

Early in July, 2010, member "LustForLife" (Tammy) was aboard the Celebrity Summit for a seven-day cruise. Not long after returning, she did us all a huge favor by posting most of the contents of the seven main-dining-room [MDR] dinner menus from her cruise. She also posted the "available-every-day" menu-supplement page.

 

I said that she posted "most of the contents" of her seven MDR menus, because one can see the starters (appetizers, soups, salads, dressings) and the entrees, but one cannot see the desserts and ice creams/sorbet/frozen yogurt. The photos of the menus are not directly viewable within the "LustForLife" posts, but are instead enclosed in PDF attachments that Tammy linked in her thread.

 

I was VERY grateful to Tammy for making her menus available, because they gave me a "launching point" to begin to accomplish something I have been hoping to do -- to help me to be better prepared for being aboard a Celebrity ["X"] ship, later this year, for two to four weeks. I had read, on more than one occasion, that the "X" MDRs have fourteen menus ... so it has been my hope to collect, in advance, the contents of ALL of those menus. [i'm the kind of person who likes to know what will be available, so that I can plan what to order in the MDR, to determine when I would like to use specialty restaurants instead of the MDR, etc.. I realize that some of you would rather be "surprised" -- and live life more "spontaneously." No problem! I do respect you.]

 

So, after having the "LustForLife" partial menus in hand, what did I still have to hope to accomplish? I made this task list:

 

1. I wanted to transcribe the contents of Tammy's seven menus into a text format (e.g., MS Word document), so that I could more easily move them around and to insert missing elements. I used the word, "transcribe," above, to refer to the process of copying (keying in) the menus' text manually -- because the PDFs were of a kind (photographic) that did not allow me to "select/copy/paste" the words.

 

I have now accomplished this task -- and you will be able to see the menus later in this post. For ease of reference, I will call these menus "A," "B," "C," "D," "E," "F," and "G." I decided against calling them "1" through "7" after I determined that Celebrity MDRs do not necessarily use these menus in the same order, from ship to ship or from cruise to cruise -- and that other menus may "pre-empt" one or more of the seven that Tammy saw, inserting other menus that she did not see.

 

 

2. I hoped to obtain the missing desserts and ice creams/sorbet/frozen yogurt associated with menus "A" through "G."

 

Through searching CrCr and the Internet in general, I was able to find some photos and other threads, from the last twelve months, that provided all seven days' desserts and three days' ice cream options.

 

 

3. Out of curiosity, I hoped to identify the dishes (from appetizers through desserts) that had been replaced or deleted -- in menus "A" through "G" -- during the menu change-over that occurred between 2009 and 2010.

 

How did I do? By finding two sets of partial menus ("A" through "G") from 2009, in older CrCr threads, I was able to identify these changes: replacements for one appetizer, one soup, one salad, and six entrees ... and deletion of one appetizer and one dessert. [i will mention them by name later. Also, since I am missing four days' ice cream lists, I don't know if any of those changed.]

 

 

4. Most importantly, I hoped to obtain the seven missing menus ("H" through "N") in their entirety -- i.e., the ones that "LustForLife" did not see.

 

How did I fare? As mentioned above, I found two sets of partial menus from 2009:

 

The first set that I found was from "sj cruiser" (Janet), who was aboard the Infinity for a 13-night cruise in December, 2009. Wow! Right away, I had the basic contents of thirteen of the fourteen "X" menus. It turned out that seven of Janet's menus overlapped Tammy's seven. The other six were new, so an elusive fourteenth menu (#N) was still missing.

 

The second set of partial menus that I found was from "Tuggers" (Gail), who was aboard the Mercury for a 17-night cruise (!) in October/November, 2009. If I recall correctly, this set provided some info that had been missing from Janet's set of thirteen (e.g., six night's desserts), but unfortunately did not provide the still-elusive menu #N! That menu was apparently used on night 13, 14, or 17 of the cruise taken by "Tuggers," but she went to the buffet on at least one of those nights and did not post any of the three nights' menu options. I could tell, from one of her comments, that she mistakenly thought that she had posted all fourteen menus.

 

Neither of the above sets from 2009 provided a list of salad dressings that were available on menus "H" through "M," and neither provided a list of ice creams/sorbet/frozen yogurt that were available.

 

 

At this point, I need to draw a major distinction between the set of seven partial menus recently posted by "LustForLife" and the six partial menus posted last year by "sj cruiser" and "Tuggers."

 

As I mentioned earlier, the 2010 set were linked in eight PDFs and were photos of actual menu pages, so I could see "the fine print" -- or as I call it, "the subtitles:" the descriptive phrases, the spices, the side vegetables, the sauces, etc. -- which can be very important in helping a person to make a decision to order or to bypass something. The 2009 sets of menus, however, did not contain PDFs. Rather, they were manual transcriptions derived from six menus; they showed the "main titles" of the offerings, but they did not list "the subtitles."

 

 

SO ... what am I going to do here today?

 

First, I am going to share with you everything that I have been able to collect -- in a format that I hope will be useful to you (easy to read/copy/print). I will show my complete transcriptions of the eight PDFs shared with us by "LustForLife" (i.e., seven days' menus and the "always-available" supplementary page).

 

Second, I am going to ask all of you if you can perform a little "scavenger hunt" to fill in the gaps -- in case you have the info handy (or know how to obtain it). Here, as a recap of what I have stated earlier, is what is still needed -- in order of priority! ...

 

---> (a) Insertion of all the elements of elusive menu #N, the fourteenth "X" menu.

---> (b) Verification of the contents of the six 2009 menus (herein called menus "H" through "M"), each of which may have undergone an alteration or two in 2010. [Most important would be to learn of any change in entrees, of course.]

---> © Addition of the "the subtitles" for each item (especially entrees) on the six 2009 menus ("H" through "M").

---> (d) Insertion of the missing ice cream/sorbet/frozen yogurt options for all menus except "A" and "B."

---> (e) Insertion of the missing salad dressing options for the six 2009 menus ("H" through "M").

 

 

In case any of the above seems confusing, it will probably become very clear as you read through the various menus, below.

 

THANKS A MILLION TO ALL WHO HAVE ALREADY HELPED ME (LustForLife, sj cruiser, and Tuggers) -- and thanks, in advance, to all who will help in the days ahead. [if this turns out to be something fruitful -- that could help dozens/scores/hundreds of CrCr members, in future -- perhaps this thread could join the "Sticky" group?]

 

Hasta la vista!

Great effort. We are on 17 night cruise in October. If you don't have it all by then, you will.

This is great. I hope that we will be able to maintain an updated list of menus on CC. This makes a lot more sense that having to scour the Internet looking for menus posted on various web sites.

 

Thanks a bunch.

 

 

Great effort. We are on 17 night cruise in October. If you don't have it all by then, you will.

Thank you, sir!

Enjoy yourself.

Wow, kudos for your herculean effort in undertaking this project which I am sure will be of great benefit to many! I will "savor" your efforts and hope you get a lot of help from other CCers.

i'm very excited about this! thanks so much for your hard work putting this together! i've been very interested in the 2nd 7 days as i'm going on a 16 night cruise in the fall. hopefully most people can help you out! thanks again!

GREAT EFFORT AND GREAT JOB! THANK YOU FOR TAKING THIS ON AND PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER! JOB WELL DONE!

 

NOW! If someone would be inspired enough to do this same thing for BLU. Any takers? I would love to say I will take the first 7 days, but I am not cruising again until 12/3/2011.

Wow, what an amazing job. We will be on our first Celebrity cruise in November and after seeing what is in store for us I am going on a starvation diet right now!!!

 

Thank you for taking the time and effort, I am sure there are many people (myself included) who are most appreciative.

Thank you so much for all of your work! I am already drooling and we don't leave until next July! Everything looks great!

Celebrity's sales department should thank you too! This gave me the urge to book another one.;)

Wow, what a great job! - Thanks so much for doing this. Now, if only the boards for RC and Princess would have this info also - what are you doing next week??!!

jg51, Wow! :cool:

Thanks for taking the time to compile the menus.

Great job!

I'm sure lots of folks will benefit from your efforts! :)

Thanks for taking the time to post those menus?)

You hard work is very appreciated... but suddenly I'm hungry....:p

Thanks for all your hard work.....:):):)

 

Bob

jg51,

 

First the drinks menu and now MDR menus - amazing efforts and Thank You!

Hello to all.

I'm very touched by the compliments and expressions of gratitude. I'm so glad that you enjoyed reading the menus -- and that they have already begun to be helpful (even in their incomplete state).

 

Now, if only some kind folks [even someone from "X" itself?] will be able and willing to fill in the gaps, especially menu #N?

jg51

PS: A special "hat tip" to "satchiesmom" for being a "double-dipper" (noticing both the beverage-list thread and this menu thread). I guess that when I get a "bee in my bonnet," I don't hold back! This time, I got two bees, and I wanted to share the "honey" with everyone, because so many CrCr members are so generous with time and info.

Thank you so much. One would have to look far and wide to find someone like you; through the goodness of your heart to take on such a big job both in the drinks and now the menus...May God bless you with happiness and all good things. :cool:

Wow! Thanks so much for this.....we are booked on Silhouette for a Med cruise in Sept 2011 and we elected NOT to book in AQ because of friends travelling with us and I was concerned about not eating in Blu, which we loved on Solstice....now I'm actually EXCITED and can't wait to try many of these dishes....Thanks again for all your work!!!

You are amazing! Thanks for all your hard work.

Nice work!!!!! I am not hungry.

Ok, so who else loves to go down to the dining area at around 3 in the afternoon and check out the menu everyday? I do I do.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

 

What an invaluable resource! :)

thank you for all your work. My DH and I are going on our first Celebrity cruise on the 12 day Western Mediterranean the 13th of Oct. and I can't wait to try some of these items.

As someone who loves to see the food choices ahead of time, I'm crazy about this post. We are on 12 nights in the med on Century, and I no longer have to imagine all our wonderful meals. Recently I found a listing of Blu menus from another poster that I cut/pasted in preparation for our Eclipse cruise in an AQ cabin...I'll have to lose all the weight from our Century trip in order to indulge on our Eclipse cruise...thank goodness they are 2 months apart and we intend to walk around all 8 of those med ports :)

IS the ice cream/sorbet/frozen yougurt available anywhere else onboard? I'd love to try some of the flavours but maybe after my dinner settles a bit first.
