Looking for menus Zuiderdam Panama Canal

[Ellura]

Family is taking a trip in a few weeks and we cannot find the menus anywhere. Does anyone have the menus for the Zuiderdam Panama Canal trip?

[PathfinderEss]

Here is the nemu for various venues. Don't have anything on MDR menus because they are always changing, but this may give you some idea about food.
