las22 Posted November 29, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2009 What was your favorite food on your X cruise? What were the definite "can't miss it!" items? This question was on the Princess Board and by reading the responses DH and I knew to order the fettucine alfredo as an appetizer, which we would probably have bypassed otherwise (and it is GOOD!). We're sailing on the Solstice on 12/13 and would love to hear what you thought was best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nps001 Posted November 29, 2009 #2 Share Posted November 29, 2009 My preferences: In MDR, the lamb chops; Murano, the Goat Cheese Souffle, in Silk Harvest the Wontons and Orange Chicken, and in Tuscan Grill my all time new favoriate--the crap and corn appetizer.

alishac Posted November 29, 2009 #3 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Las22, this post was a great idea! I can't wait to see what everyone says. For me, my favorites on the Solstice were: 1. The mushroom cappuccino appetizer in Murano... SOOOO good! 2. The miso ice cream ball dessert in Silk Harvest... Very unique, ice cream wrapped in these doughy balls, but very delicious! 3. The crepes... Any of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chief joe Posted November 29, 2009 #6 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Never had a bad meal. I don't have to cook it. I don't have to serve it. Last but not least don't have to clean up. It's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisenouvelle Posted November 30, 2009 #9 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Favorite dessert is creme brulee'. Tuscan Grille has a yummy appetizer, it's basically a big cup of crabmeat, perhaps what nps001 is referring to? I could just eat a few of those for dinner! :) If you like breakfast, try the muesli, it's got fruit in it, very good and good for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nps001 Posted November 30, 2009 #10 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Lois, I must admit that I was very pleasantly surprised about the Oasis and in a good way. The decor is a lot like Solstice--clean lines, modern, bright. I was told we had 4200 passengers on board and it really would have guessed closer to 2,000. Nothing was crowded including the massive pool decks. The pics are uploaded under my signature for anyone that wants to see them. I really have to give RCL kudos for one thing because I was cynical and therefore timed it. RCL had a goal of getting guests on the ship in 15 minutes. We made it in 12. 16 security lines and endless check in desks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiselindag Posted November 30, 2009 #13 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I ate many delicious meals in the 11 days I spent on Solstice a few weeks ago. You can read about every meal here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1089237 My favorite was the Halibut Wrapped in Feuille de Brick with Yellow Corn and Lobster Chowder, which is a dinner entree in Blu. On other cruises, I have very much enjoyed the goat cheese souffle in Murano and I don't even like goat cheese! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob278 Posted November 30, 2009 #16 Share Posted November 30, 2009 On the Equinox in the Tuscan Grille, the veal chop was the best piece of meat I have ever had on a cruise ship (and that's saying a lot). If I had been at home (and my DW not in the room), I would have picked up the bone and gnawed on it. As it was, I spent quite a few minutes with my knife and fork getting all the meat off the bone that I could without embarrassing myself. Tender, juicy and tasty. And cooked to perfection. We went back another night and I had a very good ribeye, but it didn't compare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BocaRoo Posted November 30, 2009 #17 Share Posted November 30, 2009 On our recent Equinox TA... Not to be missed, these two standout desserts come to mind immediately: In Silk Harvest: Coconut Ice Cream In the Main Dining Room: Chocolate Lava Cake Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiselindag Posted November 30, 2009 #18 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I always pick up the bone and get every last delicious morsel I can... ate my fabulous lamb chops that way in Rome and on the ship and my husband certainly doesn't mind. I always scold him at home for leaving all that meat on the bone. You can also get the chocolate lava cake in Blu by asking for it. I didn't even ask... I just said I liked it when it was served at the brunch, and there it was on our table, served with ice cream for a treat on the last night. I wish I could have some right now!

travelgoddes Posted December 1, 2009 #24 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I am sooo looking forward to the crepes, when done right they are one of my favorite foods. -Can you get the goat cheese souffle in Blu? We aren't dining in Murano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
