Those Venezia diners are going to learn how to navigate a buffet line if it kills 'em, lol 😆 😂 I’d take the MDR over the buffet with either the old or the new menus. Not a fan of the buffet… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I am excited about that. First, the new menu isn’t grabbing me so much. And second, being the Guinea pig for their very first time! Has anyone else sailed on the first sailing with the new menu? Would love to hear some thoughts. My Wife and I were talking about this last night. I was so excited and she's like..."Great, it may be awesome..or it may be a ***** show!" First night, new menus...Planning on long service times. Hopefully the food quality doesn't suffer.

Here's the timeline: He mentioned in his post that the Luminosa and Splendor are scheduled to get it at the start of 2024. Thanks for posting! Where is Pride on the list?🤷♀️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not familiar, you may want to google the flat iron. Some beef lovers will find it interesting reading how this cut was "discovered". We're hoping the flat iron will also be served with the steak and eggs entrée at the seaday brunch. Sorry to resurrect an oldish thread but has anyone seen the flat iron return? My last carnival cruise was October 23 and it wasn't back then. Next one is August 24 so just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like being on the water, but I don't recite the mantra of just being happy to be on a ship. Cruising isn't my only vacation of choice. I love flying, train travel, bus travel, large city exploration, conventions, and theme parks. I love travel in general, not just cruising. That's what I did when I was still willing to go to the dining room each night. Most appetizers and entrees had onions, peppers, and other things I don't like. I also don't eat any beef other than hamburgers, any pork other than bacon, ribs, boneless thighs cut into chunks, and occasionally a small piece of sliced ham, and any chicken other than fried chicken(wings, legs, and tenders), rotisserie chicken(any part), and my mom's baked gizzards. Most of the time the items I despise are unlisted. Several of the desserts either have alcohol, coffee, meringue, or fruit flavors I don't like. I don't like the melting cake. I can only tolerate one of the cheeses on the cheese plate once. Fruit plates and banana splits get old fast. I decided after my fourth cruise in a row(Freedom 1/22, Radiance 8/22, Glory 11/22, and Glory 2/23) with really crappy service at supper in the dining room, I would only go to the dining room for the strawberry soup and then leave. Before I could do that, they changed the menus and removed the strawberry soup. My next cruise is the 14 day cruise on the Glory in December. My attendance will be entirely dependent on there being something I want to eat without having to think about it. If there is any doubt, I won't go. Service at breakfast, sea day brunch, Seuss breakfast, and tea time are great. Lunch hasn't been an option on any of my cruises since May 2017 on an Alaska cruise. Service at supper was good in June 2002 and from February 2016 through December 2021. My mom and I have just had too many bad experiences to have any enthusiasm about the main dining room for supper. I'm not saying this to be rude or throwing shade in any way, but why not try other lines? As you can see by my signature I've traveled across various lines so I'm not particularly devoted to any. Each line has it's own menus and preparation methods. I would be really disappointed if I couldn't find something I liked on the dinner menus. The dining adds so much to the cruise.

Based on the poster's extensive list of things they won't eat, I am not sure that any cruise line is going to have a menu that is going to make them happy.
