cindivan Posted December 21, 2017 #101 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Thanks so much for posting. We are on the allure next week and I’m guessing the new menus will be there. I’m with skiiergirl, the menus needed some updating. Some old and seems like some new. We shall see! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtranger11 Posted December 31, 2017 #102 Share Posted December 31, 2017 If I go to a restaurant, most places have the dessert menu at the table or its on the main menu. I like knowing what I have to look forward to. Plus, I don't want to have to spend 3hrs of my day at dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmerelda Posted December 31, 2017 #103 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I am extremely happy that everything is on the menu at one time. There are 2 issues this will solve for me. First, we don’t have to wait forever to order coffee and/or dessert. Many nights, it’s an extra 45 minutes just for dessert. The second issue is, I will know whether or not I will have room for dessert. Many times in the past, we are just to full for dessert but still like coffee. I think this a huge improvement. I do agree with someone else that mentioned there are no more chilled soups. I think that’s one of the best appetizers. Oh well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flonightey Posted January 1, 2018 #104 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Any updates on if these new menus are on Allure? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2150 Posted January 2, 2018 #105 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Does anyone know if these new menus are on Freedom? I'll be on board next month and as a vegetarian the old menus looked a little more promising with things I could eat. If all else failed I was gonna get the linguini. These new menus seem to have less options. Plus I don't eat cheese and so many vegetarian options have cheese 😣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were able to special order a few things to fit the kids' tastes. Hopefully there will be easy options and your waiter will be helpful in getting you things you want.

uncleboo Posted February 23, 2018 #110 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I think they are always looking to change things put and they wa t to save $ I do not like that yo have to pay for xtra in the main dining room to get a steak that is tacky They are cutting back in choices As they want to save $$$$ I do The menu that is always there every night so you know you can always get the salmon the chicken baked potato usual. If they don’t have it I like to eat I will just tell them all I want and I asked look at the menu for the next night to make sure there something that I will like the main problem I usually have is that the food is cold that is my main complaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RCLcruiser2012 Posted February 23, 2018 #111 Share Posted February 23, 2018 WOW! Jealous! Your menu looks so much better than our last 5- night cruise. They didn't even offer the choc lava cake. So, maybe you do get better quality food with the newer ships. :( Not sure how I feel about the new menu layout.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CatLadyFemme Posted February 25, 2018 #112 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Noticed escargot as a starter on all the menus-- our last cruise, (4.5 years ago), escargot wasn't available-- some kind of harvesting issue. My DH was disappointed, since a running joke in our family from when my girls were young & would ask about dinner, our reply was "snails on toast" & we wanted to order it at least once to make them try it. However, if I'm reading the menu correctly, that was not one of the gluten free options, & one DD needs to be gluten free. Can you tell me what made it that way? Did it come with bread or a bread crumb topping? Thanks!! Not sure if this is helpful, but I am GF (celiac) and vegetarian. I often asked about the markings; somethings weren't marked as veggie or GF (like chilled fruit soup) and totally were, and one night, there was a shrimp dish marked as veggie (clearly it is not). Check with your MDR waiter and let them know she is GF; they may tell you it is already GF, or they will often be able to make it for you GF (in my case, leaving the croutons off a salad one night, or leaving the bacon off of something to make it vegetarian). The earlier you are able to let them know, the more effective they can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosby99 Posted February 25, 2018 #113 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Looks interesting. Our next cruise is Oasis so will be interested to try these menus. However, do you now have to order dessert at the same time? I don't like that at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crosby99 Posted February 25, 2018 #115 Share Posted February 25, 2018 That seems to be the major change with the newest menu. Oh dear...we are sailing with my parents too. My father is not going to like this at all. Might have to tell him in advance to stop 1st night complaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegoal100 Posted February 25, 2018 #117 Share Posted February 25, 2018 We were on Freedom OTS 1/28/18 to 2/17/18 and yes, the new menus were there. Generally do not like them because they tend to lower the quality of the food offered. My best example would be the night there are 3 dishes ending in "loin" on 1 menu...c'mon Royal you can do better than that! The ship is sailing out of Florida now with mostly Americans aboard...when do we ever see "loin" on a restaurant menu... The ordering of dessert with starter and main course is intended to cut time in MDR to 1.5 hours...hope that doesn't mean the goal is to have 3 dining times in MDR. There also appears to be a plan to move My Time Dining from deck 5 (smallest floor space) to deck 3 (largest floor space) in the works on Freedom.

Guest Posted February 27, 2018 #122 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I wonder if this will be rolled out across ships in Europe. I am sailing on the Symphony in May! I remember seeing on Harmony posts from the Europe itineraries that Lobster was available. I also recall on my Med sailing on the Adventure that there was lobster and steak on formal night. I am not a lobster fan myself, but this will be my boyfriends first cruise, and i have been raving to him about the food!!! We have Wonderland booked for one night, but may venture to the Windjammer if there is nothing special!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrcards Posted February 28, 2018 #125 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Does anyone know if they offer the tuti salad bar on Oasis Sent from my iPhone using Forums Yes. In the MDR on sea days. Also saw a sign in the WJ for Tutti salad but saw no salad setup when I went to the designated area. But it was toward the end of lunch and might have been taken away.
