CrusinGirl3 Posted August 11, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2004 My cruise is getting closer and I am just salivating at the thought of all the wonderful food. Do you all have any not to miss dishes that you'd recommend? I know that I don't ever want to miss out on Minestrone soup, Lobster tails...what else do you all suggest?

noodle Posted August 12, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2004 My husband and I went on a 7 night cruise in February. Things we loved: Lobster bisque, mushroom ragout (appetizer item) it was sautee'd mushrooms on a puff pastry that was sooo tasty, the lamb and beef dishes were fantastic. I didn't really care for any of the pasta dishes but loved the seafood and meat dishes. Cream of mushroom soup one night was really good also. Enjoy, we loved the food!

marvholly Posted August 13, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2004 DD and I were on Carnival 3/04 and I have sailed Carnival 12/99 and 12/01. For dinner we generally chose seafood (shrimp/lobster) or beef as these are things we seldom make at home. SS also was real happy with lamb and duck as these "are a few of her favorite things". Generally for desert I ate anything chocolate and she loved all the cheesecakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrusinGirl3 Posted August 13, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Thanks for the suggestions--keep them coming! I have so much to look for, now! I am so ready to try new things that I wouldn't normally have here at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted August 14, 2004 #6 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I love the variety of food Carnival offers. Appetizers - Escargots, Seared Ahi Tuna, MS Delta Prawns Cocktail (shrimp cocktail), Sauteed Langostino Soups - Chilled Strawberry, Fresh Mushroom (and I don't even like m'rooms!), Gazpacho Seafood - Delice of the Sea, Lobster tails, Chilean Sea Bass Beef - Chateaubriand, Beef Wellington, Filet Mignon The Long Island Duckling was good, as was the lamb. Breads - Everything in the basket is good, especially the sun-dried tomato bread. Desserts - Grand Marnier Souffle', Hazelnut Creme Brulee' Sorry, I have to stop now. I'm drooling!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirgandJim Posted August 17, 2004 #7 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I would agree with the previous post, the Chauteaubriand was out of this world and if you are watching your weight or diabetic (like I am) the diet banana cake is to die for! You cannot taste the difference and its a light way to finish off a meal but my advice - have 2 - they're small....lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Gran Posted August 18, 2004 #8 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Don't forget to try the pizza - it's great, my favourite was the goat's cheese. And on the sea days, afternoon tea is lovely. We travelled on to Italy after our Paradise cruise in May, and I made myself very unpopular by declaring Carnival pizza better than any I tried there. Have a great cruise !

DollyCruise Posted August 19, 2004 #9 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Is it possible to get the menu for the whole week once you board? I'd like to plan & try everything. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollyCruise Posted August 20, 2004 #10 Share Posted August 20, 2004 BUMP! I need answers! TIA!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted August 20, 2004 #11 Share Posted August 20, 2004 You could ask the Maitre d' (or the purser) and you might just get lucky. I know the menus are posted just outside the dining rooms on a daily basis, but I bet they'd give you the week's menu if you smiled and asked nicely....;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Gran Posted August 21, 2004 #12 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I got the whole week's menus from our wonderful waiter. He asked the assistant Maitre d' - who photocopied them for me. This was day 6 of the cruise, not sure if they would give them out earlier, but you can try. Did I mention the pizza ? Hilary T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseIsGood Posted April 3, 2005 #17 Share Posted April 3, 2005 The duck appetizer is tiny, but to DIE for. I always order two. It's the stand-out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
