ekatiel Posted August 12, 2012 #52 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Thanks so much for posting the menus! Which evenings were formal nights? --Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandian Posted August 12, 2012 #53 Share Posted August 12, 2012 snap - my only question as a first time cruiser - is it actually an improvement on the existing menu (as was suggested) or simply a new menu? I never found anything wrong with the food, but it's nice to have a change. I think they have made more of an effort with the menu, so looking forward to trying it out. You are cruising before us so will hopefully be trying it first. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futrmd Posted August 12, 2012 #54 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The hotel director said the new menus will come out very soon on Oasis and Allure. Not sure of the order on the other ships. Soon has to mean less than a month, right!? *fingers crossed* I sail on Allure 09/09/12. I don't eat most things on the menu (no beef, no pork, seafood allergy) but I LOVE living vicariously through my BF and tablemates. Don't take things so literally. Not sure why "we" think it's OK to be rude to people. It's OK to not know something or not understand and ask a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louhun88 Posted August 12, 2012 #59 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Im quite disapointed with the menus, don't fancy eating much on them at all and i loved the food on my last RCI cruise :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamett Posted August 12, 2012 Author #60 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I also am surprised the Vidalia Onion Tart is no longer. Also, I didn't see the Scallop Rissoto on the list anymore. :( We enjoyed both of those. :confused: Those two were my favorites also. I made a comment on the Comment Card to bring back the Vidalia Onion Tart. But the Pan Seared Sea Scallops on Saturday night made up for the lask of Scallop Rissoto. I ordered a second one because it was so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyVictoria Posted August 12, 2012 #61 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I never order more than one item per course, but I anticipate trying two appetizers or desserts on my first cruise with the new menu :D We love cruising and especially love cruising on RCI, but one of our deciding factors when booking cruises on other lines has been, "Different food!".

Clamett Posted August 12, 2012 Author #62 Share Posted August 12, 2012 There were some menu items that were always available: Shrimp Cocktail Escargot Caesar Salad Linguini Pomodoro Angus Beef Sliders Broiled Atlantic Cod Marinated Grilled Chicken Breast Aged Manhattan Strip Steak BBB Creme Brulee Chocolate Sensation Cheese Plate Main Lobster 24.95 Surf and Turf 34.95 Chops Steak 14.95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamett Posted August 12, 2012 Author #63 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I like the look of those menus. OP, did you happen to try the warm chocolate cake? I'm wondering if its like Carnival's warm chocolate melting cake or is it like the flourless chocolate cake RCI offers. I've never had Carnival's cake but this one was very rich and tasty not at all like the flourless chocolate cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summersigh Posted August 12, 2012 #64 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Im quite disapointed with the menus, don't fancy eating much on them at all and i loved the food on my last RCI cruise :( We've only seen perhaps 1/3 of the possible menu items. I understand each of the 3 MDRs tested different menus and gave feedback - I think the final product will most likely be delicious and based on what the clients rave about. Perhaps the Vidalia Onion Tart was/is an old favorite and didn't need trials? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sue d. miller Posted August 12, 2012 #66 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Maybe I took it wrong but I understood the food menu is the same but were trying different menu presentations, ie, what the menu is in. singular, two fold or triple fold.

Angelsea57 Posted August 12, 2012 #67 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Thank you , thank you, for taking your time to post this. There were a lot of us waiting to hear the news. The new menus are wonderful. Can't wait to cruise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are correct. Same menu, just different format. It will be interesting to see what they do on longer cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clamett Posted August 12, 2012 Author #73 Share Posted August 12, 2012 If someone could suggest an easy way for me to post the 43 pictures of the menus and food pictures, I would be much appreciative. Then you could see more details about each item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05mak05 Posted August 12, 2012 #74 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Let me join the chorus of "thank you's" for taking the time to share this information with us. I'm so happy to see crab cakes have survived one more round of changes in the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyal2RCCL Posted August 12, 2012 #75 Share Posted August 12, 2012 If someone could suggest an easy way for me to post the 43 pictures of the menus and food pictures, I would be much appreciative. Then you could see more details about each item. The easist way would be to upload all of them into an album on a photo hosting site such as webshots, photobucket etc and then just post the link to that album here.
