cruisenfever Posted May 6, 2010 #3 Share Posted May 6, 2010 We just got off Serenade after doing a b2b and we had key lime pie. Unfortunately I do not remember what night it was. I know that they had it in the WJ on the same night it was served in the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunandsnow Posted May 6, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 6, 2010 The menu looks similar to what we had on Liberty in March but there were some things that were different too. We had key lime pie on our cruise too. The desserts we had on our cruise were all yummy. They also always had herbed chicken, steak and I think some kind of fish - (maybe cod) every night on the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esspaniel Posted May 6, 2010 #5 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I would highly recommend the sugar free coconut layer cake. I think that it was actually my favorite dessert on the cruise, except maybe the coconut ranger cookies! Don't be turned off by the fact that it's sugar free.

MnAsMom Posted May 6, 2010 #22 Share Posted May 6, 2010 We had Key Lime Pie on the menu on our Mariner cruise last week! DELICIOUS! This salad, served family style (large bowl for the whole table) was EXCELLENT. It's a spinach salad and my husband told me I needed to make it at home... the bocconcini are little fresh mozzarella balls... it had a balsamic vinagrette dressing. YUM! Focaccia and Tomato Salad - Crusty focaccia , bocconcini and ripe tomato slices tossed with fresh basil served family style this was a delicious starter Creamed wild mushroom in Puff Pastry – A hearty blend of wild mushrooms, cream and herbs all encased in delicate puff pastry We were really happy with our dining room experience on this cruise!

Sweetdreams36 Posted May 9, 2010 #25 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I have a question about the menu. My family and I are going on our first Royal Caribbean cruise this August on the Liberty. My father is very picky with what he eats. We sailed on Carnival last year and they had an alternate menu that had like steaks, chicken and pasta. Do they have something like basic food on Royal Caribbean. The menu sounds very good but im not sure if my father could eat some of the items on the menu. We could always not eat in the MDR but we love eating in the MDR. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
