Florida_gal_50 Posted June 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) There have been a few threads about this. I actually like the “old” menu better. Here is a recent one Edited June 4, 2023 by Florida_gal_50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOPMan Posted June 4, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 4, 2023 It looks like its been cheapened substantially and they have reduced the level of effort and skill required by the food prep team. The removal of the lamb is saddening. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailingdutchy Posted June 4, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I believe a bad mistake is to scrap the delicious soup with the sea food they have had for years and years under a couple of different names for me that is bringing back the meal from 2 to 1 coarse with a little bit of appetizer ........... so maybe no more Canaletto for me ! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I love that seafood soup. It’s delicious. I really love the veggie risotto too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMattT Posted June 4, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 4, 2023 The lamb was the best thing on their menu. What a shame. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Mary229 Posted June 4, 2023 #10 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I am glad to see some revisions. What are the daily specials, anyone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Crew News Posted June 4, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I was on the Nieuw Amsterdam last month and was told by the Canaletto Manager that the new menu rollout was on hold due to supply issues. It is still not listed on my Navigator app for my next cruise. What ships are currently using the new menu? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Suzy Posted June 4, 2023 #12 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I have seen photos of menus for Wednesday (Escalope of Fresh Fish) and Saturday (Grilled Beef Tenderloin) in addition to the Seared Scallops on the un-named day in the above article. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they need to share information with other cruise lines within the ccl family that aren’t having these issues such as carnival and Princess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOPMan Posted June 4, 2023 #14 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Vegetarians have a substantial right to be angry. Pasta with pesto? that’s the best you can do, HA? So many opportunities with mushrooms and other vegetables to be creative, nutritious, and cost-efficient. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Haljo1935 Posted June 4, 2023 #15 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Eurodam April 29 - May 6 AK was new menu. I'll post it if I can find it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvertoGold Posted June 4, 2023 #16 Share Posted June 4, 2023 New menu is a big improvement for us, as we mostly had the meatballs, lamb and tiramisu, over and over. Now, lots of new items to try, much more to our liking! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I has a sad!!! This is a menu right from the Rotterdam so that’s as good as it gets. The gnocchi wasn’t good when I had it. I don’t think it should be doughy. It’s been a while since I had the lamb but it used to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted June 4, 2023 #20 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I thought the daily specials were going away with this remodel of the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SUESEABE Posted June 4, 2023 Author #22 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I was not a fan previously (subpar food & lacking atmosphere of a 'specialty' restaurant) and I am less so now with the roll out of this more limited menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvn2cruzzz Posted June 4, 2023 #23 Share Posted June 4, 2023 The best thing on the menu were the lamb chops and they have gone away just like so many other menu choices. Lamb is expensive so let's raise the price and get less.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
