Is there any differnce on food on ship on Europe cruise?

[George C]

Just curious doing 1st RCCL Europe cruise in a few days on Brilliance is food the same in WJ and other restaurants? as a Caribbean cruise ( our normal cruise)

No free lobster on the second formal night.

The menus are the same, the meat & fish is sourced from the US, but the produce is local & so much more flavoursome.

Same food. There may be ship to ship differences (e.g. I was on Serenade this past July in the Baltics and they had shrimp cocktail, but from what I understand Jewel in Europe wasn't offering shrimp cocktail)

I thought the food offerings were slightly different. Lack of lobster on formal night comes to mind :).They offered some extra Greek dishes when we were sailing the Greek isles too.

We thought the quality in Windjammer on Jewel this summer in Europe was slightly better than when Jewel is in the US. Another little difference we noticed were the baked potatoes in Chops were much smaller in Europe than in the US.

Its not hard to slightly improve the quality of WJ

Thanks for answering this question since you were on the same itinerary that I'm going on!

Yes food is the same. You may find the food not as salty though as I have found the food on Caribbean cruises to be extremely salty.

My experiences are in Australia not Europe (Australia is one place most lines take food from rather than ship it in, but they do tend to have some regional dishes.

I haven’t sailed with RC in Europe for a couple of years now but they definitely used to have different food in the buffet sailing from the Med than on the standard Caribbean cruises. My favourite ever dessert was a Spanish Orange Cake in the Windjammer when we sailed from Malaga. Never seen it since sadly. :(

 

Sometimes in the MDR there would be a different menu we hadn’t seen before (possibly a less well used one from the longer 10-14 day cruises). And the prawn cocktail was served with the sauce we use for prawn cocktails in Britain – Marie Rose sauce. Breakfast would also cater more for Brits than the Caribbean cruises with our bacon and baked beans alongside the usuals.

 

So only little differences, which is a bit of a missed opportunity really, especially when sailing from the Med.
