Jumbo shrimp, the tenderloins in cracked pepper, and I never turn down Tiramisu.

[Cruising-along]

I'd like to start with the Lemon Drop, then

Apple pear cucumber salad

Glazed duck breast

Tiramisu

Thanks!

[nw gardener]

Yeah!  let's get back to the important stuff on what's for dinner,  😋.  I'll have a lemon drop to start, shrimp cocktail,  duck breast and the rose wine with my main, chocolate lava cake.

Escargots, shrimp cocktail and the apple pear cucumber salad.  I’ll see if I have room for dessert 😉 

[Dismomx5]

I'll have the yuzu margarita to start my evening, with lots of their fresh buns, followed by sunchoke soup (hot please!) and the grilled asparagus. For the main, I'll have tenderloin (hubby isn't fussy on steak, so I get it while I can). Could I please have just a taste of the cauliflower steak? I've never had it, but I'd like to get a sense of what it is. Thanks. to the kitchen staff! For desert, I'll have the cheese plate, a Baileys and pot Sleepytime tea!

Omg, I am patient but not that patient.  I’d be at the podium speaking to the maitre de after I sent a message on the Navigator app.  You’ve paid for CO and deserve outstanding service.

[LAFFNVEGAS]

Dinner was actually excellent tonight and great service as well.

We had a mixture of appetizers at our table tonight, Tom and I had Shrimp Cocktails, Marcia had the escargot. Entree Tom and I each had the Peppercorn Filet Marcia had the Duck and dessert Tom had the Chocolate Lava Cake her sister Teresa had the Tiramisu. Marcia, her Mom and brother in-law and myself all had Orange Sorbet.

We are now waiting for tonight’s show Tyler Bryce.

What a positive attitude, I guess as long as your glasses were full😊

I wonder if the Ocean Bar still does 2 for 1 Happy Hours?  Those were the days!

[Haljo1935]

Tonight let's go w/a lemon drop (maybe 2), apple pear cucumber salad w/basalmic vinaigrette, roasted chicken add green beans, lava cake and cappuccino. Thanks - I'll be over here drooling into my napkin 😏

Now that you mention it, it does bring on flashbacks of the As You Wish dining rollout.  I was sailing on the Oosterdam for it's inaugural implementation.  Ugh!  My worst cruise ever.

[lazey1]

Late again, here's what I would order.  White Zinfandel, Escargo, Peppercorn Filet and Chocolate Lava Cake with Decaf Coffee.

 

[albingirl]

I'll just have what you're having. Love the thread. 

[LAFFNVEGAS]

Enjoying the Music Walk tonight, the Band at a Rolling Stone Lounge is very good. 
Enjoyed my first went Weng Weng in at least 10 years , forgot how good they are are although strong 😂 Getting ready to order a second

 

[canadianbear]

I haven’t had a Weng Weng but the first time I had a Long Island Ice Tea at BBKings and I thought it was super strong but good!   Took our daughter on a partial Panama cruise & we both ordered them & she said it wasn’t strong-I’m a cheap date as I could only have one & waited until the ice melted in it.  
 

I’ve put the Weng Weng on my list to try in February! 

[LAFFNVEGAS]

It was a fun night, latest I have stayed up in a long time , we gain an hour tonight and we go back to Eastern time. 
We are really rocking and rolling tonight so few people were out dancing despite the lounge being full and the band excellent.

We stayed for their last set. Got my money’s worth of the drink package  or at least broke even tonight 😂

[cccole]

Oh yum...I would like a lemon drop martini, escargot, cracked pepper tenderloin, and dulce de leche  and coconut tart, please.  Great menu.  Our cruise is not about to end is it?  Cherie
