Nemspy Posted March 21, 2011 Author #51 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I will try this later this month on the Miracle and will report back what happened. Did you end up trying the Indian out? Did it work out for you on Miracle the same way it did for us on Spirit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemspy Posted March 21, 2011 Author #52 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Going on Splendor again soon and looking forward to more Indian food. Does anyone know if Day 1 on this chart refers to embarkation day or the technical "day 1" of the cruise which is usually the following day? I'm pretty keen on the Chicken Tikka Masala on day 1. for anybody curious, here's a sample menu for a 7 day cruise... all subject to change and such. for longer sailings, the chef will make selections for the additional days.

Raven Days Posted March 21, 2011 #53 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Actually for me it was exactly like a restaurant would make which was why I liked it so much. Most Indian fare isn't blazingly hot unless you order a curry specifically known for this like a vindaloo. I love Shrimp Vindaloo!!!! I will have to ask about this my next cruise. Both my daughter and I love Indian food and I know she would enjoy this! Thanks for the info OP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted March 21, 2011 #54 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Did you end up trying the Indian out? Did it work out for you on Miracle the same way it did for us on Spirit? Thanks for reminding me to report back on this. Should have done this 6 weeks ago when fresher in my mind. I did get it one night on the cruise. Choice was veg or chicken and I picked the chicken. Ordered regular apps and than the Indian stuff came out. There was about 5 dishes of which some I had no clue what they were. Was dishes of chicken in some sort of sauce, vegetable stew of some sort, curry, rice and do not remember the other one. The problem was everything was way to spicy for me so I did not have too much of it. Found out later that I could have asked for mild. Luckily for me our waiter ordered me an e xtra lamb entre and after a few bites of each dish gave up on it. Several other people at our table tasted what I had and all thought it was too spicy. I will try this again but I will definitely order as mild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMSACE6 Posted March 21, 2011 #55 Share Posted March 21, 2011 thanks for that report about the Indian food, I love it, but dont like it so hot/spicy that I dont taste the food. So I will remember that I can order mild next time on Carnival, and I definitely will try that option next Carnival cruise.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofycruiser Posted March 21, 2011 #56 Share Posted March 21, 2011 My husband and I had the Indian dinner on the Miracle last month. It was so good! We were served 4 small bowls each, one of rice, one of some lentil dish, a chicken dish and a lamb dish. It was spicy but not too spicy. We had to give 24 hr. notice and the only choice we were given was vegetarian or meat. We had the regular appetizer and were too full for dessert. We would do this again too.

It's nice that you can order it mild if you like. That's a nice tip for people reading this thread to keep in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raylene5 Posted March 22, 2011 #59 Share Posted March 22, 2011 We just got back from the 9-day Spirit and had the vegetarian Indian dish from the MDR on night 1 and it was simply AMAZING...one of my very favorite meals from the entire cruise. My vegetarian friend was very disappointed to have missed it. It was very authentic and a nice assortment of different things. I could have had it every night! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosefloater Posted April 1, 2011 #60 Share Posted April 1, 2011 We had YTD and it was no problem. You don't have to let them know what time you will arrive, although the chef may appreciate the info. That's good to know. I want to order the Indian Meal, but wasn't sure if I could with YTD. Did you have to inform the waiter that you ordered the Indian meal? And that's a good idea to give them a heads up about what time I will be dining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceleven Posted April 1, 2011 #62 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I had the Indian lunches as often as I could while on our Dream cruise this last January. I absolutely LOVED it but found most dishes slightly more salty than I would prefer. Now that I know we can have Indian choices for dinner, I will probably order them every evening on future cruises. I find the regular food mostly disappointing and bland in the MDR to the point of actually considering not cruising with Carnival again. This is really good news!

geojarvis Posted April 1, 2011 #63 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Wow this is really great information!! I love Indian food and always enjoy the one dish that is usually offered. I leave for the Dream tomorrow so I will most defiantly try this out!! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rottweiler Puppy Posted April 1, 2011 #64 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) I really enjoyed my Indian dish on the Liberty! It was delicious:) They do Indian food on the Liberty? Awesome. I sail on her in a few weeks. I needs me some Chicken Tikka, some vindaloo, some butter chicken, some chana masala, etc. Oh man I am going to love this cruise from the food alone I think. Please tell me it isnt tones down Americanized stuff. I want my forehead to get a little moist from it.

Liffey Posted April 2, 2011 #65 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Anyone following this thread may be in interested in responding to one of John Heald's questions on Facebook today. He asked if people would be interested in having the Indian Vegetarian Dinner from the first night available every night. Perhaps if people show more support for Indian there ("the beards are listening"), who knows what will happen? :) Isn't it Princess that has a different Indian option on the main menu every night? (Hopefully it's Princess - I don't want to out myself for being disloyal recently and looking at other cruise line menus - lol.) Anyway, I said heck yes to John's question. That same old - usually solitary - option for vegetarians in the MDR has really been getting me down. I think this next cruise - back on Splendor, because no one in this price range has a great spa that is also fully co-ed so I can enjoy it with my husband - I'm special ordering Indian every night we're not in the steakhouse. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iminla Posted April 19, 2011 #66 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Question for folks who have had Indian Food in MDR - do they serve Naan or Roti with their entrees or only rice?? Someone please answer :-))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominichunter Posted April 19, 2011 #68 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Question for folks who have had Indian Food in MDR - do they serve Naan or Roti with their entrees or only rice?? Someone please answer :-))) If Naan,Roti is similar to peta bread, the answer is no. Our meal came w/rice. They have different entrees each night which they might have it. You would have to ask.

SJ Posted April 20, 2011 #72 Share Posted April 20, 2011 How do you give 24 hour notice for day 1 on the 7 day menu? I really would like to try the chicken tikka offerred on the first night. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stargate fan Posted April 20, 2011 #74 Share Posted April 20, 2011 How I wish I had known this before our Carnival Splendor cruise a couple of weeks ago. Something to look forward to on our Carnival Dream cruise next April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofycruiser Posted April 20, 2011 #75 Share Posted April 20, 2011 We had the Indian option in Feb. on the Miracle. I don't think you get a choice of what they serve you. We just ordered the Indian food and got a variety of dishes, all of which were delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
