markwfpb Posted June 13 #1 Share Posted June 13 (edited) Windstar made a splashy announcement in March 2023 with their "New Whole-Food, Plant-Based Menu in Partnership with the National Health Association".(their words). But the smattering of reviews since then have been less than stellar mentioning a lot of fake meat, limited options, repetition, etc. I do see some bright spots peppered in as well, just not many. So is it luck of the draw with who the chefs are on our particular ship? Or have things improved fleetwide? Thanks for any input (or menus!) that you may have.

I am vegetarian and have sailed with WS 11 times. Other then the veggie burger for lunch, I do not recall much in the way of "fake meat". I found the vegetarian meals to be wonderful, especially the few times our chef was Indian. You can meet with the chef at the beginning of the cruise to discuss your preferences/requirements. We always did that until they started offering the plant-based menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwfpb Posted June 15 Author #3 Share Posted June 15 Thanks for this. Are you ordering off the “new” menu or is the chef customizing for you? We’re fine with not making special requests if the menu reflects the one they promoted when it launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have always been very accommodating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
