JPVENDING Posted July 6, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2005 We are leaving Sunday on EOS to the eastern carib and wonder what would be the best day to go to Chops. I've heard wednesday is because it is like carribean night or something. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks Jason Paul EOS July 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGI2014 Posted July 6, 2005 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2005 yes, carribean night is a good one for Chops or Portofino. Here is a link for a menu from last year - don't think they change that much - but you can see day 4 is not a good night for the restaurant. Day 2 and 6 are formal nights - therefore filet and lobster nights. http://home.carolina.rr.com/thekissingers/NewRCLMenus.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2forthesea Posted July 6, 2005 #3 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I've read this several times before. Why is Caribbean night a good night for Chops? Is it most people DON'T like what the dining room is offering, or most people DO like what Chops is offering that night? Just curious. Thanks.

Ocean Boy Posted July 6, 2005 #4 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Explorer does not have Chops. She only has Portofino's unless some renovation has gone on that I don't know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Kewlguy Posted July 6, 2005 #5 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I feel the first night is the best night to go to Chops or Portofino. Menu is never that great on the first night. Also we had open seating on a couple of our cruises the first night which is usually chaotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the menu I posted before your comment and you will see that on Day Four (Carribean Night) the menu is not the best. That is why people go to Chops or Portofino. I also happen to think day 1 and 3 are also good nights to skip the dining room and go to Chops or Portofino. BTW Portofino is to die for. It is fantastic and well worth the extra $20 pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Kewlguy Posted July 6, 2005 #8 Share Posted July 6, 2005 On the ships which have no alternative dining the food in the regular dining room is great. It seems on the ships with alternative dining the regular dining room menu seems to be lacking in quality except on formal nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW the menu for Portofino's was wonderful - much better than the main dining room. That's why you are paying $20 more pp. You get a five course meal that is 5 star.

Host Kewlguy Posted July 7, 2005 #11 Share Posted July 7, 2005 There was a time not too long ago when you didn't have to fork up an extra 20 bucks for the quality food. Seems my choice in the "regular" dining room (other than formal nights) comes down to pork chops or ravioli. I'm assuming peanut butter and jelly sandwiches will be making an appearance on the "regular" dining room menu shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2forthesea Posted July 7, 2005 #12 Share Posted July 7, 2005 It's funny, but some of the items on the Caribbean night menu in the DR are our favorites. So, we'll pick another night. Thanks for the menus, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanW Posted July 7, 2005 #13 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I thought this was going to be about "rough conditions" or "high seas". :o I could use a good drink though! :p Cheers, -Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
