Children eating off adult menu

[bama_girl1]

We sailed last year on Oasis and are planning another trip this summer. My 9 year old ordered off the kids menu each night. I am curious if it is allowed for them to order off of the adult menu on occasion. I didn't think about it at the time, but it would be nice for him to have more options than before.

Thanks!

They can have anything they want. So can you. People say that the brownie sundae on the children's menu is marvelous. :)

 

I assume that we are talking about the MDR.

Our eight year old granddaughter loves shrimp so one of her favorite parts of cruising is having a shrimp cocktail at dinner. So no rules, kids eat what they want.

Thank you! That is great news and opens many more doors for food choices! I would prefer he not live on the standard burger and fries for 7 days :'). I wish I would have asked while we were on the ship last year!

Mine weren't as young as yours when we started cruising, but it was on a cruise that they learned to love escargots. :)

Oh yes! My 14 year LOVED the escargot! He ordered and liked many new things that he had never had before!

When my kids were 9 they were both eating from the adult menu. Preferred the adult menu multiple times over to the kids menu

I can vouch for both statements, esp the brownie , my grandson had one every night. 12 night straight

People? ;););)

 

 

I haven’t ordered that, but I’ve gotten the linguini with marinara from kids menu when the adult vegetarian options have made me want to cry...

My family laughed when I first ordered the mini brownie madness...and then they saw it! Now, when nothing on the menu for dessert grabs us...that’s what we order! A waiter in October said, “That’s for kids.” I asked if I could have it anyway, and he brought it.

When my kids were 6, they were already eating off the adult menu mostly. But what helps is to ask for a plate of fries, or sometimes chicken nuggets. You can order as much as you want. We eat as a family (typical Asian-style), and we swop our dishes around.

My 11 year old son loves minestrone soup and caesar salad from the adult menu. Never a prolem.

My kids almost always ate from both menus. I also started a little game with them from age 5 onward to try something new every day. They didn't have to finish it, but very often they were pleasantly surprised and found a new dish they liked. My middle DD was especially picky...still is at 20 actually lol, but she liked some things that surprised us, and she's always looking for something different when we cruise. And if she didn't like it, the rest of the family would usually take a bite or two so it wasn't wasted food, and it didn't add to the bill like it would in a land based place.

Kids and adults can eat from either menu. The exception is the specialty restaurants. Some have a kids menu and if the kids eat from this it is cheaper. If they eat from the regular menu it is full adult price.

My daughter was 9 on her first cruise. I never even thought of the kids menu. She always ate from adulte menu.

The kids menu at the specialty restaurants are the same as in the free restaurants, so it is free to order off of them.

My kids have never had food from a childrens menu since they were like two.

 

"I don't know what that is so I'll have that"

 

I would have been sorely offended if that was not permitted. Make it half the amount if you want, but don't force my kid to eat mush and become picky.

 

ETA: I have no experience with kids on cruises - I just needed to vent :-)

Couple of years ago when our grand-daughter was about 11 or 12 on a family cruise, DH and I had dinner with just her in the MDR. I asked if she would like to see the children's menu, and she didn't even know such a thing existed. She had always eaten from the regular adult menu. That night she had mac and cheese and chicken fingers for dinner! Oh, and the brownie sundae for dessert. DH and I had the sundae as well and Merion Mom is right ...it is delicious. :D

every cruise my daughter has escargot and Caesar salad every night. she would have duck every night if she could.

I'll say that your assumption on that brownie sundae is 100% accurate. Ahhh-mazing.

Not true. Very small children can do this - I think up to age 5 - but for older children up to age 12, there is an abbreviated version of the adult menu for $10.

Anyone may eat off of any menu whenever they want!

[OCruisers]

Our children and now our grandchildren have always order from the Adult Menu!

No problem! :)

[constable145]

I've ordered off the kids menu.

 

Get the brownie.

Just another confirmation! My three year old loved fruit and with his Mac n cheese would also get a fruit appetizer.
