I was excited to see the fish curry last week and joyfully said so to the server who was from India. He apologized and said it might be different from what I’d had before because they had been told that passengers had complained about spicy food. I took some and he was correct. It was so bland and I was so sad. They shouldn’t label it as fish curry - it was a bland fish stew. There is plenty of non-spicy food in the World Cafe. Please, Viking, bring back spicy curry. I hope Viking is not heading toward nursing home food. Oh No! The spicy curries were SO good! Too many people these days have been conditioned to liking just bland food. We are the opposite - love that kick! I will make sure on our upcoming trip to inquire as to if things are spicy or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us - it was the Reuben Sandwich. Unbelievable! Wish I had thought to take a picture of it like Clay does. Next time I will try to photograph the food!! For breakfast we learned NOT to order any kind of toasted bread. Instead we get several slices of the baguette bread. Anything toasted doesn't work by the time they get it to your room. The Omelettes were our standby for Room Service Breakfast! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitchly Posted February 21, 2022 #79 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Has anyone ever tried to order a Mamsen’s waffle from room service? That is the very first thing I want to have when we board next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still traumatised from the time I witnessed a bloke insisting on having tartare sauce to go on his helping of fish curry (nice but a mild type) Edited February 21, 2022 by KBs mum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaFej Posted February 21, 2022 #81 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I cannot digest spicy food, and I firmly believe that it should be available to everyone who wants it. Choices are good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pear and prosciutto salad is incredible for example. And another FYI, in our experience at least - (pre-Covid) - you weren't actually limited just to what was on the room service menu. A few times, we ordered items that were available on the regular Restaurant menu for that evening but not on the room service menu, and no one batted an eye. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, we don't have any RV trips planned down to California at present, since I'm still waiting for my new truck. Judi's Escape just can't tow 16,500 lbs☹️ For the World Cruise, we still haven't decided if we will arrive a day early. In addition to the WC, we have booked the TA from Barcelona to Ft Lauderdale on Neptune and then the UK/Scandinavia, also on Neptune after the WC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggtuary Posted April 10, 2022 Author #86 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I’m back from my two weeks in Europe. Thanks to the advice in this thread, I felt like I ate like a king on vacation … and yet I lost a pound! This outcoome helps me tremendously as I start back to the “real world” this week, knowing that I haven’t put myself further behind on my weight target. Thanks again! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jersey Tamater Posted April 11, 2022 #88 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Going on the Venus on July 15. Has anyone opted for low sodium food in their preferences? Is it edible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare knoxclone Posted April 11, 2022 #89 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Yes, very much so! I am on a cardiac sodium restricted diet and Viking was excellent in making sure I had options available, and they were excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband typically will lose a pound or two. As others have said we found the WC to be really great. Their seafood choices make it easy to eat healthy, yet enjoy a lovely meal. I love the different assortment of side dishes, and being able to take just a bit of them, not dealing with large portions. However one word of caution....do not order eggs benedict. I would have lost weight also if it hadn't been for those. I heard another passenger state that as well. They are dangerous, don't get started. This is really funny….I just LOVE eggs Benedict….I could eat them three meals a day… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Tamater Posted April 12, 2022 #91 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Thanks, Knoxclone. I planned to just limit my portions but that would be hard after seeing so many delicious sounding foods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
