Yes -- Day 2 and Day 6 were Gala nights -- I should have mentioned that.

The always available "Signatures" were not listed on the menus and since we didn't eat in the dining room, I have no idea if you could still order them.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this!

 

 

You are welcome.

[Jolie_Cruiser]

Thank you so much for taking the time to type the menus. Much appreciated.:)

Yes and no. I didn't think strawberries in vinegar was appealing and I don't like soufflé so I asked if they had a crisp available and was told no. Generally they do have them nightly. I was able to get Caesar salad on gala night. Strangely enough I thought the lobster dinner the first week was excellent. The second week it was mediocre. That was the opinion of the folks I dined with that night as well.

 

KK, thanks for all the work on this. Since I ate at the tamarind often it's nice to see what I missed. I know menus were posted daily. I just didn't bother to check.

KK, thanks for posting. That was a lot of work but much appreciated. I find it strange that a lot of these dishes read better than they taste.

[2ptu/000]

Interesting the Prime Rib was on the third night instead of the first. It's my favorite meal.

[Lizzie68]

Thanks for doing this KK - it is much appreciated.

[kazu]

Thanks so much KK :)

[cruisingxpert]

Interesting the Prime Rib was on the third night instead of the first. It's my favorite meal.

 

My favorite also and I agree - I thought it was always on the first night.

 

In fact someone on the delayed Nieuw Amsterdam into Barcelona jokingly commented that they had enjoyed the Prime Rib that had been intended for the new arrivals.

[Krazy Kruizers]

DH is not a fussy eater, but he commented that he was glad that all our dinners were either in the Pinnacle or the Tamarind.

[Vict0riann]

Sounds yummy! Thanks for letting me know what I missed...

[cruz chic]

DH is not a fussy eater, but he commented that he was glad that all our dinners were either in the Pinnacle or the Tamarind.

 

The food for the most part was quite good actually in the MDR. The service varied from very good to glacially slow. I've had a lot of trouble with lack of wine service on many cruises but it was really good with the exception of one night. I think I ate at the tamarind 4 or 5 times and the Canaletto once out of 2 weeks so I was out of the MDR a fair bit.
