MDR menu

[shanni-shanni]

I am going on a 22 days reposition cruise, Panama Canal on the Oosterdam on April 7, 2017.

 

Does the MDR menu repeats itself sometime for the duration of the cruise?

 

Or is it different every night?

My experience on longer cruises is that they never repeat the entire menu but you will probably see some offerings repeated... such as they will have prime rib multiple times, lamb chops multiple times and some other dishes will be repeated.

 

To me, one of the benefits on a long cruise is that if you have favorites and get torn between good choices one night, they may have them again so you won't be disappointed.

 

Of course there are the "available every night" choices and they don't change: sirloin steak, chicken, salmon. m--

Exactly! A perfect summing up of this issue!

I agree as well. The menus are varied each night with some popular items repeated here and there. You can see the menus on our 30 day cruise for Hawaii, Tahiti Marquesas HERE

The OP's 22-day day cruise is in actuality an 18-day Tampa-to-San Diego cruise back-to-back with the 4-day Pacific Coastal cruise San Diego-to-Vancouver. Indeed, some folks boarding with the OP in Tampa are continuing on to Alaska before returning to Seattle. How much would the chef factor in the fact that B2B passengers are aboard?

The chef won't worry about the B2B cruisers.

He will choose and make the menus he wants to -- probably close to the first 4 days of the first segment.

Personally, I found the Coastal menus less appealing than the rest of the menus we had on our cruise. I had wisely booked a couple of Pinnacles on that segment. those cruises are at a discount, generally and sadly it seemed to me that the menu reflected it a couple of nights.
