Thad409 Posted May 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I always have my go too orders from the MDR when were on a cruise, but I never pass up a chance at escargot. It's the only place I have ever had them and love them, so I'm sure there's land-based places that have better, but I'm happy with Carnivals. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve only ever had it on a cruise but IMO Carnival makes it better than Princess, NCL or Royal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank12 Posted May 9, 2023 #8 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Braised short ribs is one of my must have meals in the MDR. As others have mentioned, the escargot is good on CCL. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted May 9, 2023 #9 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I always get the escargot, too. Shrimp is something else I'll get frequently (such as the shrimp cocktail plus another app). DW is allergic to shellfish so I don't get to eat it too often. On our last cruise I stretched things a little and tried some different things. I would have to look at my notes but I do remember trying sea bass this time out. It was good but it was also just this side of being too dry, which is a common critic of that dish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebucks Posted May 9, 2023 #10 Share Posted May 9, 2023 The filet mignon. On my last cruise, it was actually better than most steakhouse steaks I paid over $50 for. I'll also usually get lobster, prime rib, and braised short rib when I can. I was on the Indian vegetarian kick for while. I am now sick of that dish.

mz-s Posted May 9, 2023 #12 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I like the beef tenderloin, the brisket, the lasagna, baked alaska, several other dishes. If I had to name just one I guess it would be the baked alaska. But honestly my wife and I eat in the MDR every night of every cruise normally, we prefer that experience. We will frequently go up to the buffet afterwards to snack but the MDR is where we eat supper. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of Iowa Posted May 9, 2023 #25 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Shrimp cocktail (daily); crab cake; several of the fish/shrimp dishes; the best beef dishes; Grand Marnier souffle; strawberry (peach, others) chilled soups. Many of the appetizers are delicious and I light up when I see them on the menu, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
