Warm Breezes Posted November 1, 2013 #26 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Before my first NCL cruise I'd heard nothing but raves about the lobster ravioli in La Cucina. I was so excited to try it. I was very let down! lol But the escargot in La Bistro lived up to the hype. And I loved the Lamb that was in Cagney's (not sure if it's still on the new menu) That's what I had there too. I was not impressed. It had a bitter taste to me that I didn't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warm Breezes Posted November 1, 2013 #27 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Wow. We haven't cruised in a few years. I don't remembered pretzel rolls on the Gem (in 2010). Is it true the chilled soups are gone? We had chilled banana soup on the Jewel last week at the BBQ by the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opalinem Posted November 1, 2013 #28 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Cinnamon rolls at breakfast, scones in the afternoon and crepes at dinner. Lol, I guess I have a sweet tooth :o My husband loves their cold fruit soups. I also love their mini sandwiches. But truthfully, lots of yummy food on their ships.

cruisecritiquer Posted November 1, 2013 #32 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I'm sorry, but how does what I like...in any way, shape, or form...affect what YOU will/will not like? I'm sure that if you took each and every menu item SOMEBODY would say that it is their favorite. Just eat what appeals to YOU. Eh, there's no harm in asking for suggestions on food to try if you've never been there. People do that all the time. Occasionally when eating out I might even ask the waiter/waitress what he/she suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kjquilts Posted November 2, 2013 #45 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Oh wow!!! I had totally forgotten about the chocolate croissants!! Thanks for the reminder :D. I can't wait!!! On our June 3rd Alaska cruise on the Sun we hung our room service breakfast menu on the door each night. Four glasses of orange juice, two pots coffee (one decaf, one not), two bran muffins and FOUR chocolate croissants (they are small). The four of us would enjoy our prebreakfast and the beauty of Alaska. Later we'd head to the smaller buffet area and get oatmeal, fruit, a couple sausage links, a few country potatoes and possibly another chocolate croissant :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medtech2 Posted November 2, 2013 #46 Share Posted November 2, 2013 The Muesli at the buffet! Please, does someone know how I can make this at home? YUM! The Spring Rolls, so spicy cold and refreshingingly crisp. The coconut ice cream, you can't get that in your local freezer section. The crepes, especially on the Sun, where they also had a fondue station with it. Crepes made with the chocolate fondue sauce are to die for. Sadly, the Breakaway had no fondue sauce. The lamb I had in a specialty restaurant, finger lickin' good. The Breakaway's Sabrett hotdog cart. Anything Indian. The apple margarita at the Margarita tasting...

karoo Posted November 2, 2013 #49 Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) MDR-mushroom quesadillas, cheesecake, crabcakes, empanadas, potroast, steak, prime rib, lobster tails, roast turkey, lemon meringue pie, pecan pie, coconut soufflé with mango coulis, ice cream etc etc Le Bistro -duck, coq au Vin, crème brulee, a yummy chocolate dessert I had last time. I eat at the buffet for breakfast and lunch-the variety of breads (non white-I only eat what I call 'bread with substance', the chewier the better, once I travelled to Europe I've never eaten white tasteless bread since), choice of fresh salads, hot meats, the ham and cheese bratwursts and ice cream! ice cream! ice cream! Soft serve or hard. I'm not fussy. he crepes are good too. Some of the desserts they have for lunch-definitely not the non-sugared variety. For breakfast the buffet-the fruits, variety of great breads to toast (non white) the poached egg and Canadian bacon I take off the soggy/soft muffin to put on the great toast I've cooked. The chocolate brownie sundae from the 24 hour fast food restaurant. Plus I always manage to eat other stuff too. Unfortunately there's never a shortage of food I like to eat on board.
