crusinpeg Posted March 31, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I have been noticing lately alot of mention of special food requests that have been made (not necessarily heath or diet related) and was curious as to what are some of your favorites might be? The most adventureous I've been is to order mixed berries for breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockymountainsparky Posted March 31, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2011 We requested and received escargot at dinner every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted March 31, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2011 We were told that there were no more mixed berries, only strawberries, on our recent Emerald cruises (over 3 months, so it wasn't a one-time thing). Too sad. But, to answer your question, our only special request ever was DH requesting the breakfast steak menu item several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymue Posted March 31, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 31, 2011 My husband has gotten shrimp cocktail everynight. One night I asked for their Fetticine Alfredo in a Cheese Bowel (Amazing!) when it wasn't on the menu. Not only did I get it, but they gave me one every night after....and I didn't even ask :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure traditional waitstaff must be more accommodating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted March 31, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 31, 2011 The first night we walk to our head waiter and request a crudite every evening. It is there waiting when we arrive (TD). We get it with diet salad dressing and sahear with our table mates. We find it is nice to have a low calorie snack to start the meal and kill some of the hunger.

Seabreeze8 Posted March 31, 2011 #7 Share Posted March 31, 2011 You can also request special food by giving them 24 hour notice. Doesn't matter whether it's traditional dining or anytime dining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam in CA Posted April 1, 2011 #9 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I've ordered eggs Benedict for breakfast in the dining room, hazelnut ice cream for dessert, chef's salad for my entree at night, coconut crusted shrimp for an appetizer, and some other things. My sister has ordered short ribs when not on the menu and on our last cruise, we had specially-prepared pasta and chocolate soufflé when they weren't on the menu.

caribill Posted April 2, 2011 #15 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Did you have anytime or traditional dining? I don't see how could they do this with anytime dining In anytime the headwaiter will take your request and note your cabin number. The next evening, just tell your server what you had pre-ordered and what your cabin number is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted April 2, 2011 #16 Share Posted April 2, 2011 When I get salad (which is usually at every lunch and dinner), I asked for it without dressing, but with lemon slices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
