PJDH4 Posted July 20 #1 Share Posted July 20 I have been obsessing over the menus since we booked our cruise. Picking out all the things I want to try is part of the fun of planning for me! But, how easy is it to make small substitutions to items? For example, at Extra Virgin, I've been eyeing the eggplant parmesan, but wouldn't want the vegan cheese. Could I ask for it to be replaced with the regular mozzarella that is served on the meatballs? Thank you for your insight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found that the restaurants have been more accommodating than on other lines, as the food is cooked to order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted July 20 #3 Share Posted July 20 In Razzle Dazzle I was able to get the fried green tomatoes without the okra. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cantgetin Posted July 20 #4 Share Posted July 20 Provided the restaurant has the ingredients needed for the substitution, yes. Most of the food is cooked to order, so unless it involves something like a sauce that is made in advance, no problem. In that case, you can skip the sauce or possibly substitute a different sort of sauce. Another hint--you can swap pastas and sauces in Extra Virgin. For example, the sauce on te gnocchi is exceptional while the pasta is often overcooked and mushy. Just choose a different pasta and ask for the sauce from the gnocchi. It is odd as the gnocchi at The Galley is usually quite good. You can almost always leave something off. Adding or substituting is usually possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGarrett5oh Posted July 21 #5 Share Posted July 21 Slightly off-topic, but our experience in the restaurants was to ask the waiter their opinion on the menu choices. When we took their suggestions, we were delighted, and when we didn’t, we were disappointed. In almost every case it was more steering away from certain items and less about the waiter’s subjective palate. It might’ve been just our one off experience, but when we board this time we’re going to try the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianCruiser21 Posted July 21 #6 Share Posted July 21 You can always ask. I am quite particular and they were able to accommodate most of the time. A few dishes were a bit more pre-prepared, but overall, they were really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
