AZDCruiser Posted February 15, 2007 #56 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I agree with the previous poster...the pizza is horrible on RCI (we tried Carnival's last week and it was very good though)..... I love the onion tart, escargot, and the flourless choc cake..the key lime pie is great too. I like all the chilled fruit soups. My husband loves the escargot as well. He also liked the lamb shank, but I've never had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept trying to get the recipe and the head waiter kept hedging ... finally after about 5 nights he told me the awful truth. I couldn't believe it so I repeated the request on the next cruise. Same thing. And the ones I got from SYSCO taste exactly the same....so it must be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zwanzig Posted February 15, 2007 #59 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I'm glad to see so many others who enjoyed the first night's Vidalia Onion Tart, served with red pepper sauce. I had this on the Mariner last year and it was one of my favorite things that I had all week! I hope it's still on the menu come August... Some other faves? Cherries Jubilee, Grand Marnier soufflé, the Shanghai Chicken Noodle soup, and the banana bread they serve on Caribbean night!! They have served that banana bread for as long as I can remember, and I look forward to it every time. Mmm mmm! I'm hungry now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn the Cruiser Posted February 15, 2007 #60 Share Posted February 15, 2007 The SF white coconut cake is to die for. I've been thinking about it for 8 months now and they better have it on the Explorer in June. I think I will eat about 4 pieces in a row!!! I also loved the sweet potato soup.

misand Posted February 16, 2007 Author #66 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Alright I have already had dinner but am now starving! The onion tart is definitely on my list! Has anyone had the Free range chicken? What does escargot taste like? Is the windjammer any good or should I go to the dining room for lunch? Do they have hashbrowns, homefries or patties? I know I will gain 10 pounds, because I have on the last two cruises! I always love the chilled fruit soups too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruzerci Posted February 16, 2007 #68 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I don't think I really have a RCI favorite... I like pretty much anything. I love lobster, even though Royal Caribbean's isn't the greatest. I loved the creamy garlic soup on Mariner and Navigator, but I thought it was terrible on Jewel and Voyager. Food has so much to do with your head waiter. Am I the only Royal Caribbean person that finds the Windjammer's eggs terrible at breakfast?? They always seem so watery and hard :eek: .

KillaFee Posted February 16, 2007 #70 Share Posted February 16, 2007 The onion tart for sure. Last week on the Serenade I was tempted to order 5 but just had one and enjoyed every little bite of it. Also, this time around, one night they had a tofu main course (usually RCI doesn't venture into tofu land) and it was to die for! I'm not big on tofu, I'd rather eat whole veggies & grains or soy fake me@t, but this was the best meal ever! Even my carnivore fiance loved it! It was saturated in this really yummy asain veggie mix & sauce and in a stack.... Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misand Posted February 16, 2007 Author #71 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I am so glad you said the tofu was great. I mentioned it to my husband since neither one of us has ever had it and we both said it would be the perfect time to taste it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea-cruise Posted February 16, 2007 #72 Share Posted February 16, 2007 What does escargot taste like? ! It tastes like garlic in melted butter, and has a rubbery consistency like a thick mushroom has. There is a slight hint of a smokey flavour as well.

phill369 Posted February 17, 2007 #74 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I like TOO much food. My last cruise was on the Explorer, and I loved the key lime pie, chilled fruit soups, the artichoke & spinach dip appetizer and always the caesar salad! There's probably 20 more things I can't think of at this current moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phill369 Posted February 17, 2007 #75 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Oh, and to comment on the lamb.....never tried it, but my parents & aunt & uncle all tried it on the Navigator a few years back. They said it was horrible, so now the family joke when we see it on the menu is oh, "damb lamb!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
