Theme dinners on Inside Passage Alaska Cruise

[CarChick]

I'm sailing on the Ruby in May on the 7 day Inside Passage cruise. Does anyone have MDR menus for each night? Or do you know when the "theme" dinners fall during the week? I'm trying to figure out when to schedule a night at one of the specialty restaurants, but I don't want to miss any of my favorites (king crab legs, lobster, escargot, etc) in the MDR. Yeah, I know, cruise snob foodie problems. lol

I'm doing that same cruise on May 6th! I understand that the Formal Nights in the MDR are on Sunday and Thursday (sea day and Ketchikan day). Usually special things like escargot and lobster are available on the formal nights.

Have fun on the 6th! I hope they do my favorites on the formal nights, as I prefer to be in the MDR on those nights anyway. I figure I will hunt down the Maitre D' as soon as we get on board and get the week's menus from him. I can find a night when the MDR menu doesn't thrill me, and book the Crown Grille that night. Maybe Italian night. Hopefully, it won't be full already.

That is exactly what we plan to do.
