rothjer Posted April 15, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Good Morning All !!! Maybe a tad bit of a silly question, but after reading all of these reviews in regards to Normandy we are looking forward to booking at least 2 times on our upcomming cruise. Question though, on previous sailings on Costa and X (Murano on Century) we were allowed to order more than one appetizer/entree. For me, I LOVE appetizers, and really do enjoy trying all of the ones on the menu. Is this "allowed" in Normandy or is a faux pas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlijny Posted April 15, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 15, 2010 No. You order off the menu.....1 appetizer. 1 entree, 1 salad, 1 dessert, etc. The portions are similar to any restaurant, and larger than in the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longboysfan Posted April 15, 2010 #3 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Yes. As stated above - no extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think you can as others have stated....also...unless you have a huge appetite you won't have room for more than one...servings are more than adequate and I've never left Normandie feeling anything less than STUFFED!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi_sky Posted April 15, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 15, 2010 There are so many courses in Normandie that you may not be able to fit anything more. My wife and I were satisfied before the last course. And the servings are larger than in the MDR. Like I said in another thread, the lobster was larger than the steak!

CruiseDad-NYC Posted April 15, 2010 #8 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Actually, my wife and I ate at the Normandie last year, and I was having trouble deciding between two appetizers (I think it was lobster bisque and the goat cheese souffle). It was no problem getting an extra one, and my wife and I shared the goat cheese souffle. It was very delicious and very rich, so am glad I shared it didn't eat the whole thing! By the time dessert came, we were very full. I hope you love the Normandie - I have eaten in many top restaurants around the US, and, believe it or not, this is one of the best dining experiences I have ever had.

This has been our experience also. The wait staff does not promote multiple appetizers, but we usually get bisque and also share a souffle. We also tend to skip the cheese course to save room for the desert souffle! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted April 15, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 15, 2010 We actually orderd an extra appetizer to try also. No problem.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahc78 Posted April 15, 2010 #11 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Glad to hear some people have been able to order additional items. I saw a copy of them menu someone posted and I know I will have a terrible time trying to decide what to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a copy of them menu someone posted and I know I will have a terrible time trying to decide what to choose. Me too! I REALLY love appetizers, I never really care much for the mains anyhow. By the sounds of what I have read, I don't think I can just stick to one. However, we are booking two seatings at Normandy, perhaps we should look into one more!?
