The new menus are being rolled out in stages. Ships currently in Europe will thave their rollout when they return to the states.[/COLOR][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlesteelo Posted September 4, 2012 #332 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I just found out that the new menus will be on Independence for my cruise :D I wonder what the 14 night menus will be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Thunder Posted September 5, 2012 #333 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Just off the 8/26 cruise as well and our table of 6 vegetarians were very disappointed, very few veggie offerings unless you think pasta passes as a vegetarian option EVERY night. That is what RCI seems to think. We were very fortunate to know our Head Waiter from previous cruises and he hooked us up with the Indian specials that were being offered to the 400 Indian folks traveling with us. Otherwise we would have been in the Jammer every evening (went twice as it was). Not impressed with the new menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did everyone let the dining room know that they were vegetarans ahead of time? I know that, in the past, the staff has gone out of their way to accomodate.

Arubamoose Posted September 5, 2012 #336 Share Posted September 5, 2012 That does not bode well for me. I have one DD who is vegetarian and one DD who is vegan. I intend to write RCCL before hand. I hope that I fare better than the previous poster. I know when we were on the EPIC we had issues. She ate pasta marinara at least 4 times and got stuck with just steamed veggies the rest. We wound up going to the Asian fusion a few times and hit up the sushi bar a few times. At least on the Allure they can do sushi but they always look forward to the Indian food on the menu. RCCL makes a mean aloo gobi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The windjammer always has a large variety of fruits, vegetables, pastas, plus meatless Indian dishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erbunny Posted September 5, 2012 #341 Share Posted September 5, 2012 For those curious about new menu roll-outs on ships not already listed, you can e mail RCCL. Vision of the Seas is scheduled for March 18,2913. Too late for our January cruise, but no biggie. Al least the famous Vidalia Onion Tart should be available for those who crave it !

They did bring steamed veggies twice and raw vegetables once, but they did not appear again even though I had asked for the same every night. We did not complain, just not our way.

There's two sections on Royal Caribbean, one near the beginning and one near the end, where he describes some of the techniques and equipment that they use. He talks about the [URL="http://www.alto-shaam.com/product/cid/2.aspx"]Alto-Shaam combi ovens[/URL],[URL="http://www.elro.ch/elro-english/elro-products/pdf/ELRO_Pressure_Cookers_2300.pdf"] ELRO pressure cookers[/URL], and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sous-vide"]sous vide[/URL] meats.
