MaiTaiMary Posted February 12, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I've read in numerous threads that the eggs benedict in the buffet isn't very good. What about the MDR? Eggs benedict is my vacation splurge! Not something I eat on a regular basis at home. I'd love to have it on my cruise! :D Somebody tell me it's good in the MDR, please!!

NanCan Posted February 12, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 12, 2010 It's not bad... it will satisfy the eggs benedict craving well enough... I always get it at least once in the MDR during a cruise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted February 12, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I dont think its ever served in the buffet, only in the MDR. Not very saucy, and if you like the eggs kinda well done its good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiTaiMary Posted February 12, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Hmm.. well maybe I misunderstood. I thought people were referring to the buffet. OK, well then let's talk MDR eggs benedict! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&Jfamily Posted February 12, 2010 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Ok - I have some serious expertise in this field - afterall, it is high calorie food here! The muffin and canadian bacon are fine. The eggs, well, lets just say they are more the consistency of hard boiled (maybe with some gooey yolk). The hollindaise sauce is quite yummy - but ask for extra on the side. The dish seems to sit under the heat lamps and the butter starts to brown. I think the way around the eggs is to order 2 poached eggs on the side - I'd have to ask DH if that gets the eggs more runny as he has ordered them poached- which is the way I prefer it. It is far easier on the wait staff to order extra of stuff than it is for them the get the chef to prepare it specially for you. All in all, I like it. Ususally get it 2-3 times on a 7 day cruise!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbay-eh Posted February 12, 2010 #7 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Never have been able to get it at a buffet anywhere - must order in MDR. I personally think is smells like baby barf. I will order poached eggs, English muffin, side of Canadian Bacon, cheddar cheese and make my own with out the sauce. My husband loves it though and will order all the time.

dande123 Posted February 12, 2010 #8 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Did not see Eggs Benedict on Carnival Liberty buffet a fews years ago but both times I was on Norwegian they had it on their breakfast buffet a couple of mornings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted February 12, 2010 #9 Share Posted February 12, 2010 IMO it's not bad. I too ask for extra sauce, add that to what comes with the E.B., and then it's really GOOD. Give it a shot. You'll like it! "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted February 12, 2010 #10 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I agree -- it is RARE to have Eggs Benedict on Carnival where the sauce has not fully congealed and the egg yolk turned (basically) firm thanks to too much time under a heat lamp. We cruise on Carnival a few times a year, and I make a point to go to the MDR for breakfast at least once per sailing. In the last year (OR TWO) it is how I described above. I like the idea of putting one together on your own... why didn't I think of that? :D - really though, if they can't deliver the dish the way it's intended to be - they should GIVE UP... of course, I would wager that a fair % of people are not aware of the proper "textbook" presentation/condition. OK... NOW I AM GETTING HUNGRY!! :eek: Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL In the MDR it was very good. Eggs were cooked perfectly for us every day. If your eggs are overcooked I would send it back and get a good one or have something else. Not worth the calories for hard poached eggs! We also showed up when the MDR opened whcih might have had something to do with it! ;) Extra hollandaise is a brilliant suggestion by other posters!

SkyMaster Posted February 12, 2010 #14 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Damn,,,that DOES look good, doesn't it? Now I'm gonna have to book a cruise much closer to the present date, than the one I've got booked. It's all your fault! :D "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel girl23 Posted February 12, 2010 #16 Share Posted February 12, 2010 On our Jan. 16 cruise on the Triumph, DH had Eggs Benedict every morning in the MDR. It is his very favorite and he had no complaints. Didn't leave a crumb! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&Jfamily Posted February 12, 2010 #17 Share Posted February 12, 2010 So for all you eggs benedict fans - what do you think about the Dream brunch eggs benedict - on cranberry brioche? I would be willing to give it a go. But then again, you could cover just about anything in holandaise and I might be willing to try it....:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nannersmom Posted February 12, 2010 #18 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Cousins Husband said the eggs bennie wasn't the greatest when we were on the Ecstasy but did say he LOVED the Bagels and Locs... I did not eat breakfast in the MDR. Tend to sleep in on vacations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladycaveat Posted February 12, 2010 #19 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I've had eggs benedict in the dining room and . . . on my Dream cruise last month, on the buffet. Unfortunately . . . they were horrible. Eggs were hard and the sauce was no existant . . . looked like it had been put on and then put in a microwave. As much as I love eggs benedict . . . don't think I'll ever have them on one of my Carvival cruises again . . . :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Tee Posted February 12, 2010 #20 Share Posted February 12, 2010 The eggs, well, lets just say they are more the consistency of hard boiled (maybe with some gooey yolk). Just the way I like em :) never been a runny egg fan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simkoreb Posted February 13, 2010 #22 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I got them every morning on the Valor in the MDR...they were sitting under the heat light for a little too long, and the eggs were overcooked almost every day. The last night some lady was sitting with us, and they recognized her and treated her like royalty...she got a fresh one made just for her, and it looked awesome!! This is one of my fav bfast foods, and I have had much better making it myself at home than what they serve. (but I did still eat them!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Our experience, Carnival always overcooks them, instead of poached, they are more like petrified eggs. Just got off Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas last week, and NCL Jewel in early December, both of those lines know how to make eggs benedict. Unfortunately, multiple Carnival ships, and locations (buffet and MDR) have all produced poor results. We are trying again 4/10/10 on the Liberty, but we are not hopeful.

Dawn125408 Posted February 13, 2010 #25 Share Posted February 13, 2010 When we were on the Legend a couple of years ago the eggs benedict were AWESOME!!! Served in the mdr, and I had them about 3-4 times in that week (and I'm not much of a breakfast eater). Can't wait to go back again in September. And the egg yolks were runny.
