RoperDK Posted November 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Headed out on the Dream soon and have some questions..... 1. Guys Pig and Anchor - open on embarkation day? I've heard conflicting information. 2. Ordering $20 steak house options in the MDR. Are they worth it? Delivered properly cooked and in a timely manner? 3. Is the new steak house menu being served? If it is, do you feel it is an improvement over the old menu? Thanks in advance, Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbismith Posted November 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Hello Dawn, I have ten days until I board her. So I can not answer your questions. I have enjoyed several recent reviews on the Dream. YouTube also has some great! VLOGS from EECC Travels. When do you sail? Bobbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBCruiseLover Posted November 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 16, 2017 October 1st cruise - Pig & Anchor was NOT open on embarkation day. It was raining. That may have made a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watermelonqueen99 Posted November 16, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I do not recall it being open on embark day on the 10/29/17 sailing. However, be prepared for looooooooooooong lines when it is open. (Sea days.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDidly Posted November 16, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I do not recall it being open on embark day on the 10/29/17 sailing. However, be prepared for looooooooooooong lines when it is open. (Sea days.) The easy answer, be the first one in line ;) Check when it will be open in the fun times . As for when it will be open ,sea days . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Dawn I can't answer about the steakhouse questions (we don't spend extra on food), but the Pig and Anchor was not open on embarkation day last month. It is open on sea days. Just get in line early and the line moves fast. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wms99 Posted November 16, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 16, 2017 The P&A was only open on Sea Days when we were on the Dream Oct 29. First sea day the line wasn't that bad. Word spread and the lines grew each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athankfulheart Posted November 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I had lobster in the steak house one night and then later in the week I ordered it in the MDR from the steakhouse menu. Definately NOT comparable . Sent from my SM-N920V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPTNGirl Posted November 16, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 16, 2017 On our cruise in May on the Dream it was listed in the Fun Times that it would be open day of embarkation from 11:30-3:00. I didn't check to see but it was listed as being open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BalconyPrincess Posted November 16, 2017 #14 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Re #2 - DH tried the upcharge steak in the MDR on the Conquest. He asked for rare - it came out well-done. Sent it back, and the next one came back medium-well. He ate it because the other 5 of us at the table had finished our dinners and were ready for dessert, but it was definitely not worth it.

coevan Posted November 16, 2017 #15 Share Posted November 16, 2017 unless they are cooking the steak in the Steakhouse, it will not be the same. They have special high temp grills in the Steakhouse like Ruth's Chris. The MDR bakes their steaks in the oven, they are not individually cooked to order.

slybear Posted November 16, 2017 #16 Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Guys Pig & Anchor on Deck 5 outside is only open on sea days. The Guys Burger Place is open every day from about noon to 6pm. Edited November 16, 2017 by slybear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoperDK Posted November 16, 2017 Author #17 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Hello Dawn, I have ten days until I board her. So I can not answer your questions. I have enjoyed several recent reviews on the Dream. YouTube also has some great! VLOGS from EECC Travels. When do you sail? Bobbi Hi bobbismith! I hope you have a great cruise! We are cruising in January. We cruised on the Dream 2 years ago and had a wonderful time. I'm sorry to hear that it is leaving New Orleans. Please let me know how your cruise was when you return.

RoperDK Posted November 17, 2017 Author #18 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Thanks everyone for your responses. Sounds like ordering the $20 upcharge for steak house items is a no go. We may try to go to the steak house twice instead. For those who waited in line at Guys Pig and Anchor....was it worth it? What was your favorite dish? My DH loves BBQ and we are looking forward to giving it a try. Still curious if the Dream has the new steak house menu. My DH is wanting to try the waygu beef! Thanks!

Drose716 Posted November 17, 2017 #19 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I cannot comment on the upcharge menu or steakhouse because I'm not a red meat person. However Pig & Anchor was not open for our embarkation in August. I never did eat there because lines were long. And I typically am not bothered by a line on a cruise.

Dawn Food opinions are so subjective but all three of us in my group thought it was ok but not great. I will say however that we went about 15-20 minutes before they were supposed to be closing and yes there was still a short line. I am thinking we may not have loved it because we went so late. The meat was dry. The sides were hit or miss and we all had different opinions about each. I would certainly try it again but not wait so late and see if the meat was better.

slybear Posted November 17, 2017 #21 Share Posted November 17, 2017 There was NO Waygu beef at the Dream Staekhouse 2 weeks ago. Hubby says the line is worth it for the BBQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is not a meat eater either and absolutely loves the Steakhouse. They have several non meat options. My wife does eat fish and she loves the Lobster Bisque and the Sea Bass. The onion soup is cheesy and excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
