Probably always give their kids what they want because they can. It would be interesting to find out something about the families traveling with children. If I have to guess, they pretty much never tell them no, unfortunately. That menu looks pretty good. As the late great W.C. Fields would say, "“Get away from me kid, You bother me." 😁 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though he does make a great spaghetti sauce when I let him into my kitchen. ☺️ I personally designed my kitchen to make it into my "woman cave" when we remodeled it. 🙂 He loves the little garage as his personal domain. 😄 Edited December 24, 2023 by island lady 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was indeed very yummy! And this coming from one that buys "Impossible Veggie Burgers" to grill out at home. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uggh...indeed that stuff they mix in a giant blender and form into a blob in a bag when they boil it.

Indeed, not even sure if I have had it..but if I did, had to be years ago. Always fun to try new things. 🥰 Yes, I’m pretty sure it’s on the 150 menu but I’ve never ordered it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn’t be swimming in gravy. Typically the sauce is either just a fancy drizzle on the plate, or served to the side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azamara Journey: 10 night TA, no ports (as scheduled). Quantum: 8 night TA, no ports (as scheduled), but we did have a med evac in The Azores. Anthem: 8 night TA, no ports (as scheduled). Oasis: 14 night TA, 9 consecutive seas days (as scheduled). Many other TAs with 5, 6, or more consecutive seas days. Yes, on Trans Atlantic we'd plan 6+ Sea Days straight on Cruise. Me, Love my Seas Days and only do longer 10+ niters long Carb and Repos myself(SOLO) with 5 to 5, 4 to 6, 5 to 6, 5 to 8, Port Days and Sea Days. But for my Daughter and Grand Daughter on their first Cruise longer then 10niter this 16n ended up being 12 Sea Days as we lost 3 Port Days.

Did work on Jewel the last time we were on board that ship, but does not work here (of which there seems to be more than one thing that does not work on Serenade 😞 ). Drink enough it still spins... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I always go to Wind Jammer on Thanksgiving they have always had whole Turkeys at Carving Station on my Sailings. Better then that Turkey in Main Dining. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time she asks for dark meat in the MDR they give her Banquet dinner “dark” meat turkey roll. On Serenade at Thanksgiving, we went to the MDR, fiddled with what they served for a while and then went to the WJ for real turkey.

That's disappointing then if that is the case when even 2 or 3 days out the menu on the app isn't up to date since someone deciding to go to the dining room that evening for a certain main entree is looking at the current app and it isn't there. I hope that is not the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we decide what our five courses will be for that evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyZolt Posted December 24, 2023 #946 Share Posted December 24, 2023 And the chef seems to have a "special entree" item that isn't listed on the menu and you only learn about it if you go to the MDR. There have been some interesting ones so far. We'll see if there's a special item tonight when we head to the MDR in an hour or so. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We havre been on RCL cruises recently where the menus changed between the time we boarded the ship and the time we went to the MDR. Theme night rotations switched, theme nights being completely replaced, and menu items missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
