MUST eats

[CanadianMAG]

What is the must haves when it comes to food on RCI and where can I get it. I know on HAL it was the baked alaska....

[klingoncruiser]

Royal Flourless Chocolate Cake!!!!!! DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!

 

P.S. A nice walk in Stanley Park right about now sounds great!

[ducklite]

I just spent a week on the Mariner, and there was not one food item that I would consider a "must have". A few things were better than others, but overall the food ranged from good (Portofino's and Chops) to lousy (Windjammer).

 

Temper your expectations on the food or you will be highly disappointed.

Is the seafood fresh??

 

I'm going to guess not since it is brought on board at the beginning of the trip and would get pretty rank after the second day.

[jebl]

The Grand Marnier souffle is to die for!!!:D

[chessie68]

Chocolate peanut butter pie served one day at lunch in the Windjammer was to die for and the key lime pie in the dining room was also the best I may have ever had.

[cruisin'gal]

I second the mushrooms in puff pastry, also the scallop risotto, escargot, fresh fruit and cheese plate from room service, yumm. Laura

I love all of these suggestions!! I especially love the chilled soup!!

[nerak]

Any chilled soup...and agree with Ericknow32, the white chocolate ??? except WITH the berries. It's usually served the first night on the Serenade...at least our last 3 cruises.

[skiiergirl]

Vidalia Onion Tart

Escargot

Key Lime Pie

Chilled soups....especially the strawberry!

Souffles

If you do Portofinos....the Tiramisu is a definite must! (We like Chops "food" better but go to Portofinos instead for the Tiramisu!)

I've read on these boards that if you like a specific food that is not provided in a particular restaurant that you can request it, and they will get it for you. For example, I've heard about people who have eaten in Chops but loved the Tiramisu from Portofinos. The waiters brought the Tiramisu from Portofinos to the diners in Chops. It sounds like the best of both worlds.

 

I plan on putting this to the test on my upcoming cruise. :p

[cheezwhiz]

Lunch in the Dining Room Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps were the best. Also for those on a diet or should not eat sugar. Sugar Free Key Lime Pie

[Jan_In_Maine]

Shrimp Cocktail

Shrimp Scampi

Spinach Salad

All the Cream Soups

Flourless Chocolate Cake

 

Most things are wonderful as I do not have to cook it. (Although I was not impressed with the lobster tail). Jan

[HappyFamilyNJ]

I'm laughing at all of the mentions of key lime pie; on my honeymoon cruise, 13 YEARS AGO, that was my favorite!!! I still have yet to have a better key lime pie. I guess RCCL was smart enough to keep the recipe.

 

FYI if they have a great dessert at dinner one night, look for it at the afternoon buffet the next day...

[Slam308]

Almost all the chilled soups!

Eggs Benedict

Chicken Philadelphia (my favorite!!)

[LLM]

Key lime pie and the chilled strawberry bisque were fantastic!!!!! I wish they had those every night!

One of my dad's favorite sayings is:

"There are those who eat to live and others who live to eat."

I, unfortunately, am of the latter. I definitely live to eat. This thread is making me realize this with a vengeance. :D

 

Definitely, the Grand Marnier Souffle

Flourless chocolate cake

French onion soup at Portofinos

and every thing else mentioned in the thread!!

[Snoopywy]

so worry about my weight after I eat all the food u suggest :eek:

will go to mariner of the sea on 30-oct !!!!

[Pixiedoodle]

I am soooo looking forward to the chilled strawberry soup

and tasty spring rolls.

 

My hub looooves their room service hamburgers (apparently they're made 'fresh').

 

And the room service fruit plate is always a good way to go for a light snack or late dessert. mmmmmm
