crusinpeg Posted May 23, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I just read a recent review of the Freedom of the Seas and they said that escargot was no longer on the menu. They were told the cruise line couldn't get it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffinater Posted May 23, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2012 There was a world wide shortage no ships had it. I believe I read a review today that indicated it was back on the ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted May 23, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 23, 2012 All the mainstream cruiselines had to take it off their menu because of the worldwide shortage. Many landbased restaurants are affected too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetdriver787 Posted May 24, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Seems like it is slowly sliding back on to the menu, although the shortage may mean having to shell out a few more bucks for it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briarpatchlane Posted May 24, 2012 #7 Share Posted May 24, 2012 We just returned from a Norwegian fjord cruise on Brilliance of the Seas. Escargot was on the menu one night and another night a similar dish with the same type sauce and mussels was served. Both were delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lglancy Posted May 28, 2012 #11 Share Posted May 28, 2012 On Voyager on March, escargot was replaced by scallops au gratin, which was served in the little escargot dish. It was absolutely delicious, and I would love for it to be a regular menu addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was absolutely delicious, and I would love for it to be a regular menu addition. We just returned from a cruise on Celebrity, with the same problem. They said it had something to do with a tsunami in the Far East. I don't eat escargot anyway, so DH was the sad puppy at the table that night! Celebrity used their escargot dishes to serve crab-stuffed mushrooms -- delicious, but it took quite a while for them to cool down enough to eat! Scallops au gratin sounds like a great alternative, too. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiiergirl Posted July 11, 2012 #23 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Have been too busy working to keep up with all,of the news here on CC. So we were surprised and disappointed this week when there was no escargot at dinner. They did serve the scallops in a sauce similar to the escargot sauce. Mr Ski is allergic to scallops though so he missed out. It is a good thing that the sauce is the reason I get it though....because the scallops were smaller than a baby aspirin....and I am not exaggerating.

sailingawaysoon Posted July 11, 2012 #24 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I never cared for this dish. I'll be glad to share mine if they bring them back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyal2RCCL Posted July 11, 2012 #25 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I was on the Jewel Baltic itinerary last month and they served Escargot on 2 nights and they were excellent. I'm not sure where/how they were able to source these given the shortage. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
