jencruzin Posted January 5, 2023 #178 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Apparently there are SIX different MDR menus. The others represent French, Italian, American, Caribbean, Mexican, nights. This is the 6th one, perhaps? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hungry, had a bite, and then tossed the rest. I agree. I've had both and Blue Bunny is awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guacamole MINUS the onion, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, garlic and salt is basically Crisco with an off taste. LOL Glad we all can have our own opinions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 99% of the complaints about the menu are the opposite of your situation. People afraid to try new things. After 5 years of the exact same menu, you'd think more regular sailors would be more like you where they want to see new things. My father is like that, he has been on so many cruises that he basically asks if they can prepare him anything off menu or has been trying more specialty dining just out of boredom of the same old menu on every cruise. Better to be bored of a menu than to be scared of it Yep there is definitely a difference between the two, and both are equally valid for an adult. I would LOVE someone to have the jewels to tell me in person what I should be willing to eat because someone else decided it was reasonable for other people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ret MP Posted January 5, 2023 #188 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Full disclosure: I really don't have a problem with changing a menu. In fact, change it often. What I object to is shrinking the menu or services, taking away time tested favorites, and then tinkle down my back and tell me it's raining, cut of my ear and tell me it was for my own good. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that Royal is not changing the menu because it's stale or repetitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I believe I know why they are changing it the way it's been reported that it is changing. I just can't wait for the news release/press release, emails, tweets, what evers, giving the glorious reasons for doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as RCCL admits the change is happening and someone in IT pushes the right button, they will populate fleetwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
