They're still trying to come up with a way to tell us sheeple that it is better, more convenient, better quality, more sustainable in a way that we will believe them or accept their B.S. excuses. They have changed the menu a few times in the 14 years we've been cruising on Royal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We enjoyed both of these on the Symphony in December. We didn’t have any issues with the new menus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a regular sized burger and has been quite delicious. When I have not felt like a burger, the Spaghetti Bolognese from the kids menu was also very tasty. How embarrassing for Royal to have adults order from the kid's menu.🤪 One time I tried to order the sundae from the kid's menu, as I heard good things about it, and the waiters did not know what I was talking about. After my February Anthem sail and the selections are not to my expectations, I may get my revenge by voting at proxy time.😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 4 nights say, "VENUE CLOSED" ? They haven’t added our menu on the app yet. They didn’t update the January 2nd menu until that day. They still have the old menu so hopefully we will too. I’m hoping we aren’t the first trip with the new menu on Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more embarrassing for the adult to have the palate of an 8 year old. Every single day on the menus that were tested last month had a few "safe" options that a reasonable adult would enjoy as well as a couple more adventurous items (such as the indian selection). Maybe the type of "adult" who thinks applebees is fine dining should stick to the buffet 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted January 5, 2023 Author #118 Share Posted January 5, 2023 IMHO.. ..what I think is way more embarrassing and piggy (and should be for those types) ....are the pax that think they have to "eat their money's worth" at the WJ. They walk to their table with overflowing mountains of food and then leave half of it behind...perhaps to get a new selection for round #2. Terrible waste. Simple to try a just a few things, then if you are still hungry, go back for a bit more. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only got 15% of my pouch (Stomach). I carry a card in my wallet that identifies me as a gastric sleeve patient and asks restaurants, eating establishments, to allow me to order from the children's menu, if I so desire. There are lot's of valid reasons for people to order food from the children's menu, not just because of what's available on the main menu or not. However, it's nobody's business what I order or why I order it. To me, it's like wearing shorts or a hat to the MDR on "Formal" nights. Why someone wears shorts is nobody's business. It's possible that their luggage was lost and not found yet. It could be that the hat is covering a very visible medical condition and so on. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always with lesser choices. I remember the basket of breads that the asst waiter brought around with many varieties as compared to what they place in the breadbasket today. I'm not even mentioning the separate dessert menu with more selections than today. I just hope that I'll be able to order the savory bites each night😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple to try a just a few things, then if you are still hungry, go back for a bit more. Agree. This morning I had my car serviced. The dealership always has drinks and tempting snacks. Don't tell anyone but I had two Pop-Tarts untoasted of course and a small OJ in a carton. Now would that be consider "adventurous". BTW, no little kiddies were harmed or injured during my quest. 😂 Edited January 5, 2023 by davekathy 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better to see people eat little bites, than to pile wastes of food on their plates. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
