Celebrity Eclipse dining question

[LUV THE SEA]

Did I make a mistake? I am sailing in the Eclipse in July and I need advice We will be on a cruise with My daughter and I booked Murano for dinner on her Birthday on the first full

sea day (her actual birthday) I think that it is a chic night…. I can’t find the menu for that chic night in the main dining room —-is the menu upscale for that night …I am  spending neatly $300 for 4 adults should I wait for another night-please any advice or menus would be of great help

The MDR Menu follows a standard 14 day rotation and is not impacted by which nights are designated as chic nights.

[cruisestitch]

Not quite true.  There are 14 menus.  They can be served in any order.  So on your cruise you might find #6, #2, #1, #3, and so forth….  

 

 They generally serve the menu with the lobster tail on a chic night.

Thank you but I thought on the dress nights they had more specialty items??? That is what I read on other posts. The menu rotates but the better dinners on the 6th and 2nd night

That's been my experience.

I don't know what you mean by specialty items in the MDR's. Usually the lobster is served on the second "chic" night.

Thanks still looking for 1st night

Are you doing a Bermuda sailing?  If so check in the app for the Eclipse Bermuda  sailing that starts tomorrow.  That will most likely be the same menus you will have.

The rotation is set before the cruise begins.  No assurance that the lobster has been scheduled to occur on a chic night - seems to be a bit hit and miss ... not that the lobster is really that good these days on X.  Would swear some of them have been Langostinos.

First chic night might be beef Wellington. It’s good, but I’d rather a special dinner in Murano any day

@LUV THE SEA

I hope that there is a lunch offered in Murano on one of the sea days on our Eclipse cruise! The price is less than dinner but the experience is similar- at least it was when we enjoyed it on the Eclipse pre-covid. Granted the menu is not as extensive, but in some ways it's more intimate than at dinner time. We were even serenaded by a string duo!

If you can book lunch that may take the MDR lobster out of the worry as to when it will be served. Also if you change Murano to one of your Bermuda port days, it is unlikely to be lobster night in the MDR.

Enjoy her birthday in Murano!

We don't schedule around chic nights...just enjoy a fabulous dinner!

It might even  be less crowded on a chic night.

[Northern Aurora]

The Murano experience will be much better than any evening chic night dinner.  Just keep the Murano booking.

[REEtired]

I absolutely agree!  Keep Murano.

We had an odd schedule last week on Solstice.  Second chic night was actually the night before disembarkation—I’ve never seen that before.  Lobster was the night before but that was NOT a chic night.

That is odd/strange as folks pack up luggage prior to dinner on the last evening.  Did you have a lot of folks come to dinner in shorts?  🤣

[cruisestitch]

No.  None at all that I saw.  This was in Alaska so shorts weren’t seen much at all.

We are on Eclipse in July and the MDR menus are already posted in the app for our cruise.

[Alakegirl]

You might be close enough that what they have posted won’t’ change.  Yet do not be surprised if they do

[LUV THE SEA]

Thanks everyone:)

[LUV THE SEA]

You were so helpful I never knew you could see the actual menu on the dining app for each night for the main dining room. That was a great help!!! I do appreciate all of your replies, can’t wait to sail in July

We celebrated my wife's special birthday on May 27 (Monday) on Eclipse to Bermuda.
Murano > MDR and particularly for the birthday celebration.
Also, remind the Maitre d of the birthday prior to your dinner.
