die_hard Posted November 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I’ve been on several cruises for Thanksgiving but never ate dinner in a specialty restaurant on Thanksgiving night. Do they offer traditional Thanksgiving dinner in Chops or Giovanni’s that night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARandomTraveler Posted November 12, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Not sure if they do anything different in Chops or Jamies, but I had thanksgiving dinner in Izumi on Symphony last year and there was nothing different about the menu or the service.

PhillyFan33579 Posted November 12, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I have cruised on I think 10 Thanksgiving and Christmas cruises. From my experience the best place for a traditional dinner is the MDR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabethbp Posted November 12, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2023 We were on the Symphony Nov. 2019 for Thanksgiving and ate in Chops and they brought us Turkey from the main dining room as well as our ordered dishes. I am on the Anthem next week and am hoping for the same thing if I cannot get into Coastal Kitchen. ( I have a Jr. Suite). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time4u2go Posted November 13, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I can't imagine paying the price of a specialty restaurant to eat a turkey dinner but maybe that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not turkey in specialty. It is ordering off the restaurants usual menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not available though! You order off the specialty restaurant menu on Holiday reaervations. You might get lucky and have a waiter run to get you a turkey plate or 2 for your table like someone said above, but that is not typical or guaranteed.

I was just commenting that if it was (like the OP was asking about), I would not think it's worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texangal39 Posted November 16, 2023 #17 Share Posted November 16, 2023 My family has done Thanksgiving sailings for a really long time and we’ve dined in Chops, MDR, 150 Central Park, and Jamie’s. The only place we’ve had a traditional meal was in the MDR. Also, the best one was on HOS in 2018 because they served cornbread dressing and carved turkey with gravy. Last Thanksgiving we did Symphony and every meal in the MDR was superb, but Thanksgiving was not good because we are not fans of stuffing with chestnuts. I suppose it depends on who the Head Chef is for what is prepared, so it’s luck of the draw based upon your personal tastes. But, if I ever can find the chef from 2018 again, I’m on that ship for Thanksgiving even if I have to change my reservation! Now I’m wondering if there is a Head Chef thread….🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
