DonnaK Posted September 17, 2014 #26 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Just looked up the fisherman's platter. I'm not much of a red meat eater. Must get! I will need someone to remind of this You can ask for it without the red meat. I often do that and it's not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryano Posted September 17, 2014 #27 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Another vote for the lambshank, duck, and medium rare prime rib. I also love the cold fruit soups as well. All desserts I have found are just "meh" except for the cheesecake that use to be on the Chops menu. LOVE the savory bites!

skiiergirl Posted September 17, 2014 #28 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I really like the chicken Marsala DW. Always enjoys the lobster/fisher mans plate. The strawberry bisque is awesome. For dessert, try the sticky bread and butter pudding. Exactly what I was going to say. I would add the key lime pie! (regular not the sugar free). Mr Ski also likes the spinach dip (be sure to order extra chips). How is the lasagna on RCI? Most times very good although we did have it one week when it was a littler"off". Of course that would be the week I ad Ted everyone at the table in to ordering it. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjb317 Posted September 17, 2014 #29 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The dish I look forward to each cruise is the horse radish salmon (thanks for the picture!). The breads/rolls in the MDR are wonderful too. Dessert wise, I love the peach/blueberry crumble with ice cream, the carrot cake, and the sticky bread pudding. And for some reason (butter?:D) I LOVE the mashed potatoes! In real life, I never eat white potatoes or bread, so these items always taste really special on a cruise!:D Sherri:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christa Posted September 18, 2014 Author #30 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Oh wow! I can't wait! The photos of the salmon and strawberry dessert did me in- looks delicious! Thank you everyone for all the tips. My goal is to try as many of the suggested items as possible! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trev71 Posted September 18, 2014 #33 Share Posted September 18, 2014 How is the lasagna on RCI? Actually it was one of my favourites the last cruise. It was like it was melting in your mouth. also I like the beef sliders, and the spinach dip was nice too. I like all the desserts and I havent had one yet that I havent enjoyed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeW Posted September 18, 2014 #36 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Chicken marsala, prime rib, classics steaks, chicken cordon bleu, chocolate lava cake (night 5), mushroom and french onion soups, steak fries (ask for these). On Navigator for 14 nights earlier this month and only had one MDR dinner I didn't care for (chicken ceasar). Too much salad and chicken was more like jerky than chicken. OK, but wouldn't order again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellwingri Posted September 18, 2014 #37 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'm in the minority as the only meal I didn't enjoy on our last cruise was the lasagna. I wait for duck day on every cruise! I've always enjoyed it. I also love the salad bar in the MDR on sea days. And, like everyone else, I really miss the Vidalia Onion Tart. Based on other posts, I'm also in the minority because I think the food has improved over the years, not gotten worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted September 18, 2014 #38 Share Posted September 18, 2014 How is the lasagna on RCI? I found it improved quite a bit when the "new" menu was released. I think I first had it on my 7 day cruise in 2013. Meatier creamier sauce, not heavy on the ricotta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter1975 Posted September 18, 2014 #40 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Based on other posts, I'm also in the minority because I think the food has improved over the years, not gotten worse. You're only in the minority on cruise critic (haven for people who like to complain about everything). In reality, you're in the majority with people who actually love the food on the ship! (myself included). Don't feel bad or guilty for actually loving the food. Most people actually do. Here's a vote for the little-known side that I think comes with the duck: Potato croquettes. Yum!!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barb3246 Posted September 18, 2014 #41 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Really enjoying this thread. Are there any meals that in your opinion should be avoided? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryano Posted September 18, 2014 #42 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Really enjoying this thread. Are there any meals that in your opinion should be avoided? Personally, I would stay far far away from the included steak. I think it is now called the Manhattan Strip Steak. These included cuts are not of good quality IMO and most of the time shoe leather is more tender :o If you want a steak, I recommend Chops or purchasing the Chops filet in the MDR.

Clarea Posted September 18, 2014 #43 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Really enjoying this thread. Are there any meals that in your opinion should be avoided? I've not had better than a 50% success rate with the "free" steak in the MDR. I don't even try it anymore. Not the MDR but in the Solarium Cafe on Oasis and Allure, avoid the turkey bacon at all costs.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatSleepCruise Posted September 18, 2014 #44 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Second formal night lobster tails, of course! I was able to knock out 4 earlier this year when traveling on Independence of the Seas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuterMonkey Posted September 18, 2014 #45 Share Posted September 18, 2014 The chocolate souffle dessert was a hands-down winner at our table that night, with much jealous oggling by the non-orderers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising Forever! Posted September 19, 2014 #47 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I generally hate cold soups, but there was a banana-rum tahitian cream cold soup that was outstanding. Had this on the Sept 6 sailing of Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
