sheephugs Posted July 13, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Our family recently went on the Zuiderdam. My daughter doesn't eat beef (not a religious thing..she just loves cows) and the dinner entrees were mostly beef. She was wondering if the Zaandam served more variety? I know they always provide a vegetarian dish but she's twelve and won't touch tofu, hummus, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 13, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2004 :) Weren't there any veal, chicken, pasta or fish choices? We can't ever recall a menu on any HAL ship didn't offer any of the above. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheephugs Posted July 13, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Actually I was very surprised at the limited seafood offers (I think Carnival was better in seafood choices). Shrimp was usually limited to an appetizer. Didn't think to ask to have the surf and turf to be surf and surf, I guess you can do that. Unfortunately veal is baby cow.

Krazy Kruizers Posted July 13, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2004 :) So you can always have 3 or 4 appetizers ordered. Just tell your waiter that you want LOTS of shrimp. They will do it for you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 13, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 13, 2004 :) Oh yes, there were couple of times when I liked the appetizers better and had a couple of them for my main meal. It can be done. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted July 14, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 14, 2004 There is at least one fish entree offered every night. Peaches posted the seven days of menus for Maasdam and every evening had a fish dish. I am quite sure all the ships do that all the time. A young girl like her might be satisfied if she ordered an appetizer, soup and a salad, bread and butter ....perhaps add some vegetables which normally would be side dishes to the entree. Maybe that would be enough for her on a night she didn't see any pasta or fish she wanted. If she is truly on a path to becoming vegetarian, she will learn to find protein in soy sources etc But for the duration of her cruise, she should be able to manage fine.

sheephugs Posted July 16, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Thanks for the suggestions. I'm just too conventional..never thought to order just appetizers or side dishes by themselves (yeah, I'm the gal who refuses to toss the peanut shells on the floors at the steakhouses!). My new matra will be "there are no rules, eat like fools".:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
