philpcruiser Posted October 11, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2017 We have been sailing DCL since 2012. So far have been on the Dream, Fantasy, and Magic (multiple times on each). It seems like the menus are somewhat similar on all of those ships and have not changed in all those years. Am I correct? Does DCL ever make a change?

Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted October 11, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 11, 2017 They have made minor changes in the past couple of years. But complete overhauls? Not so far. The summer cruises in Europe and Alaska sometimes get "regional inspirations" added on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted October 11, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 11, 2017 From 1998 to present, there have been some "major" changes. One, in particular, sticks in my mind because there were lots of complaints about the "new" menus. Since that time, most of the changes have been small--one or two items at a time. There have been at least 2 revisions of the Palo menu (again, keeping the most popular items), and Remy changes seasonally. We were on a cruise were the new executive pastry chef was on board. The "occasion" was his roll out of many reduced sugar munchies, changing over the treats from the Cove Cafe, etc. Frankly, the originals were better than his "new" creations.

gometros Posted October 17, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2017 The pirate menu has changed. I mention this, because a lot of people choose that night to schedule Palo or remy because they didn't like the pirate menu. I took a picture of it and will post it later.

alaska_planner Posted October 18, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 18, 2017 not really having anything to do with menus, but i just remembered a dining related thing from our cruise in august.. there is an ice cream shop on the disney dream (not free) called Vanellope's Sweets and Treats on the last night of our cruise, just when our dessert was being served, all of a sudden a guy delivered the most amazing sundae ever in this big plastic car (like what vanellope drives)... they made a big production of it being delivered, i can't remember, as it was such a surprise.. my daughter and son in law had bought it as a thank you for organizing the 'big trip' (3 weeks at WDW followed by the cruise for the entire family, us, 4 kids, 2 grandkids).. anyway as i said, the sundae was amazing and it was so cool that they delivered it to our table at dinner!! they had ordered it sometime earlier in the day.. we went to the shop after dinner as i wanted to thank the guy who'd delivered it... the staff in there were all so sweet and so excited over having had the order to deliver.. it was all lovely....and the ice cream was scrumptious!!! .

Probably more readable than the images I had. That “Boucanier” Smoked Saucisson, Baked Brie, Brioche and Honey with sliced Figs and Caramelized Orange caught our eyes and I must have mentioned it to our head server, since the next night he brought us two (we ate at Remy on Pirates night). It was delicious! Definitely, next time we're on a Dream class ship, we're doing Remy another night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
