JimandStan Posted June 11, 2011 #153 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Nobody has mentioned the baby lamb chops yet- Exquisite with the warmed figs at breakfast! Wow, I need to get back on an Oceania Cruise! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burm Posted June 11, 2011 #154 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I agreeI wish they served it more often Maybe on a bun for lunch ...OMG I am drooling :eek: Lyn They should just add schnitzel to the Waves menu. :D:D:D I was really excited about trying the baby lamb chops for breakfast, but was rather disappointed in them. Very bland. I do love the lamb they serve in the DR and in the Polo Grill. They don't quibble about giving me lamb with my lobster for Surf n Turf in the PG, either.

pier Posted June 11, 2011 #156 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I am hoping to be on the Nautica in August... just a couple of foodie questions.The food was so good on Azamara, does it compare? We cruised on Azamara last year and found the found disappointing. We've never been disappointed on Oceania. There is an Italian chocolate cake (that's the name Oeiania gives it) that is served only at afternoon tea and only once or twice during a cruise that's the best chocolate dessert I've ever had, and I always order chocolate desserts! I hope you all get lucky and find it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CintiPam Posted June 29, 2011 #158 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Where are the chocolate croissants? :) Just back from my Baltic cruise on Marina (and about four scrumptious Marina chocolate croissants later) and see that this question has been answered. However, Marina now has sticky buns available every morning right across from the breakfast grill (only occassionally available when I sailed on Nautica and Regatta), so I switched my morning carbs to the fabulous sticky buns, deserting the pan chocolat so more for everyone else!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunnedinva Posted June 29, 2011 #159 Share Posted June 29, 2011 One of my favorite things about cruising is enjoying the cuisine. Since my first Oceania cruise is coming up in two months, I was wondering... For those who have cruised Oceania before, what are your favorite foods onboard? What dishes are "must do's" to you? Thanks in advance for all of your yummy answers. ;) Cassis sorbet (with chocolate syrup)! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinycat Posted July 4, 2011 #160 Share Posted July 4, 2011 There is a Thai kind of coconut, lemon grass seafood soup that is out of this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riversidecruiser Posted July 4, 2011 #161 Share Posted July 4, 2011 The thing we talk about the most in between Oceania cruises are the French Fries at Waves: crisp on the outside and soft inside. Some of the best we've had. With a burger on the side, of course ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skigrams Posted July 4, 2011 #162 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I especially love the cinnamon ice cream and the cocoa sorbet!! Those are just two of my favorites. If I started making a list, it would run clear to the next page. But I will say that everything is more than likely the most wonderful tasting food you have ever eaten. The chefs are fantastic and the pastry chef on any of the ships, is pure genius. The tea dansant is by far a sheer spectacular event. Everything is so pretty that you don't want to eat it!! Not! You don't know what to try first. Hope you are on a sailing that has one of these festive occasions. Bobi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les221b Posted July 4, 2011 #163 Share Posted July 4, 2011 This won't be applicable to most cruises, but if it affects you, don't miss the opportunity to take advantage of it. If you get Dave Peterson as your cruise director, on his daily broadcast towards the end of the cruise (during the last three days or so), he will announce that he will prepare the milk shakes for one hour around noontime that day. It won't appear in Currents, so you've got to catch it on his TV broadcast. His milk shakes are extremely rich and delicious (not to say extra fattening). It's worth skipping a meal to be able to afford it. Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potterhill Posted July 5, 2011 #164 Share Posted July 5, 2011 The tea dansant is like a feeding trough. Never saw such abysmal behavior in my life. You'd think these people had been starving for weeks as opposed to eating glorious food 3 or more times daily. We went twice and left in disgust. Never again.

winegirl Posted July 5, 2011 #165 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Just reading this thread brought back pleasant memories of the excellent cuisine on our Oceania cruise last summer. Oceania did not disappoint us. In addition to all the wonderful items mentioned previously, I recall that the ethnic dishes, in particular those with an Indonesian flair, were some of the most memorable to me. Since the staff is international and the ship has to feed them as well, I liked seeing some of the more unusual dishes that reflected the backgrounds of the staff. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us that are lucky enough to live in cities with large Chinese populations (like Bay Area, Vancouver, Toronto, NYC and others) are spoiled for choices and quality of Chinese food. Once this was discovered, I tended to avoid them as they would usually disappoint. No worries, there are always plenty of good alternatives :) Excellent food is one of the hallmarks of Oceania.

JBVols Posted July 6, 2011 #169 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I know this is not for everyone but we recently returned from a Nautica cruise and the GDR served grilled milk feed baby veal liver. The best liver I ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skigrams Posted July 6, 2011 #170 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I vote for the liver also. Served with a raspberry reduction. Best I have ever eaten. I think I had it on the Regatta also. But I always try to look a the dining room menu before deciding to make a reservation at Polo or Toscana. If the dining room has liver, then I want to be there!!

lynadyj Posted July 6, 2011 #171 Share Posted July 6, 2011 My husband loves liver and we have never seen it on the menu. Obviously we are not looking hard enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimandStan Posted July 6, 2011 #172 Share Posted July 6, 2011 My husband loves liver and we have never seen it on the menu. Obviously we are not looking hard enough. If you notice any type of sweetbreads on the menu, ask about liver and the chef will rustle some up for you. ;) On our last Marina cruise, Jacques had sweetbreads on their "special" menu, almost every night. It was heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TERRIER1 Posted July 6, 2011 #174 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I thought sweetbreads were different than liver. I saw sweetbreads on the menu at Jacques but never considered it to be liver. Is it the same? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
