hankandteri Posted August 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2023 . . . or has Celebrity been quietly slipping some more imaginative/less bland options into the MDR dinner menus over the last few days? For our upcoming cruise, the appetizers mostly look as dull and repetitive as they have since the recent menu shift, but the mains now include something I’d want to order on most nights. Could it be that they are listening? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElmaLee Posted August 30, 2023 #5 Share Posted August 30, 2023 We were on Edge at start of August. We ate in MDRs every night. We found there to be plenty of options and we usually had two or three dishes we were very keen on. Each MRD had 3 or 4 special starters, mains and desserts plus the permanent standbys and other choices, so there were over a dozen different options for each course. We never went hungry! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More fish and shellfish dishes (beyond the everyday salmon) along with more interesting poultry and red meat offerings. Looks like one or two new offerings every day have been added to the menus on the app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be that they are listening? I don't trust anything further out than what is happening onboard right now. So I took a look at this week's menu for the Constellation - no improvement noted there. I keep hoping, though, and will check their next sailing embarking Sep 4th. I've noticed Silhouette and E-class menus do look better than the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted August 30, 2023 #10 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I think Celebrity has gone down hill big time in one year. When they start returning to "modern luxury" instead of "modern rip off", then I'll sail with them again. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like one or two new offerings every day have been added to the menus on the app. I'd love more fish and shellfish but it's also the protein that easiest to destroy by overcooking. I've had very few fish dishes on the ship in the MDR that I would consider ordering again. It's sad because I'm not really a big red meat eater either so there are nights I struggle to piece together a meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the current sailing to get an idea of what will be offered when you sail. Are the items you are interested in available on the current sailing? If not, you're bound to be disappointed.

I will be living on Crème Brulé Crème Brulé on the Celebrity ships is as good as it is here. A second order tastes as good as the first ! A third order---- only if you are by yourself. Otherwise the " don't ya know it's got tooooo much etc etc ". The " But I'm on vacation " doesn't work in these parts !! As an aside--- we never look at the menus prior to the cruise-- no point in case there is a change and I wouldn't embarrass myself complaining about it. "Hey, get a load of that guy at table 134 -- he's upset that we don't have no round tomatoes and is gonna post it on Cruise Critics ". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure I’m missing the obvious here but how do we view menus for current sailings? I’ve looked ahead at what they have online for my sailing (in four weeks) and have booked Tuscan Grille for the evening that looks the least appealing. Maybe I’ve been too hasty? I must admit, the apparent abundance of soups and mashed potatoes is not filling me with optimism… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnktodhunter Posted August 31, 2023 #19 Share Posted August 31, 2023 You may be right, I've just looked at our 11th October sailing on the Silhouette and it definitely feels like there are more items on the menu and some that I would order! I was starting to think about contingency plans when I looked last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
