Yes, the new menu has been being rolled out ship by ship for several months now.

Awesome! I cruise about once a year. I don't know how I could get tired of the menu I dine from once a year but I was. Looking forward to trying the new menu!! Does anyone have pictures of it?

menu.

Here's a link (it's not mine, unfortunately the pics of mine are dotted around the blog on the different days and I've not gotten around to sorting them out.....)

Thank you.

Also on the Dec 1 sailing of the Oasis the new menu was being 'tweaked'. The changes were on the printed menus but not on the interactive TV menus.

We just got off a B2B on The Navigator (Dec 1 - Dec 15th) and were told that the new menus for that ship will come out in January 2013.

The new menu was used on Allure this past October.

We just got off of the Brilliance and must say that the new menus, and food from the menus were good to very good. A nice step up, IMHO, from the last menus and food that came out of the galley!!:)

An observation on the new menu and food:

 

We liked many of the new menu offerings on our recent Explorer cruise. I didn't find the changes to be too dramatic, though (probably because I couldn't try everything).

 

I did like having the option of the shrimp cocktail nightly, as well as the "chocolate sensation". As always, the beef selections of prime rib and tenderloin were excellent, as were a grilled steak and salad dish--cooked very nicely, and DH loved the braised beef duo. Portofino remains excellent for us as well.

 

Interestingly, we spent less time than ever in the Windjammer, as we feel that while there was always something to find, the quality there has definitely gone down with each cruise we take. Room service for breakfast every morning (we are not big breakfast eaters) and a few excellent lunches and one dinner, and Royal Promenade for snacks.

We just got off Enchantment. New menus in MDR, and quality of food was excellent. Things were pretty much the same in WJ, except that there is no longer a 3-5pm snack. Park Cafe was open, but it felt like an upscale McDonalds to me.
