Freedom MDR question?

I know I have seen the answer to this question on another thread. In what order are dinners served of Freedom of the seas. (western sailing)

 

Thanks

I've been researching this myself, and I'm pretty sure Freedom western follows this order:

 

Mojo, Saffron (formal), ****ake, Pimiento, Basil (likely 2nd formal), Jasmine, Pomodoro.

 

The review I got this order from, which was a Spring 2014 sailing, wondered if Days 3 and 4 were switched on their cruise. I have had Pimiento on Day 3 of my cruises, so I wonder, too.

How humorous - CC automatically **** the first part of the s-h-i-t-a-k-e menu name. Seriously.

I asked the same question a while ago:

 

Freedom Western - order of MDR menus?

We're sailing on Freedom on the Western Caribbean itinerary and I'm trying to determine which nights are the best for booking the specialty restaurants.

 

I have looked at old threads re menus and I have downloaded the MDR menus from RCI press centre page. The menus are printed in the following order:

Mojo

Saffron

Shiitake

Pimiento

Basil (with the filet mignon)

Jasmine (with the Fisherman's Plate)

Pomodoro

 

As I understand it, the 2nd formal night on the Western itinerary is Day 5 (not 6 as per the menus :confused:). Hence my question as to whether the order of printing bears any relevance to which menu on which evening.

 

Any ideas anyone - I would hate to book the specialty restaurants for nights that turn out to be the more preferable MDR menus (or indeed vice versa).

The conclusion I got from replies to my post was that the menus follow the order above except Basil & Jasmine are reversed. Everything I look at says on Western Itinerary the 2nd formal night is Day 5 (Grand Cayman)...

 

Now I'm not sure if this is correct - grateful for any further advice anyone.

This is correct. I sailed the western itinerary this past April and have been on FOS five times in the past four years. Jasmine (lobster night) is day 5 because of being in Cozumel so late on day 6.

It doesn't when you spell it shiitake.

Great - thank you for this :D. Glad to have it clear in my mind, now I can plan my specialty restaurant nights etc better.

 

Thanks again

My eyes must have been really tired :)

 

Anyway, everything I have read about the western is that formal night is night 5, so if lobster is on the Jasmine, then it makes sense for them to switch it. But a recent FOS western review with the pictures of the menus did have Jasmine on night 6.

MattInFLL,

We'll be getting off FOS as you arrive. I'll try to leave you some lobster.

BTW, just curious. Your handle is FLL (Ft Lauderdale) but your hometown says Miami Beach. I lived in Weston for 23 yrs.

Now that we have the Western, does anyone know the Eastern or are they the same?

[MattInFLL]

Smokey - yes, when I first moved to Florida I lived in Lauderdale. I moved to Miami a few years ago but changing the handle is a pain :)

 

Debitoo - they should be the same menus, except that on eastern, formal night is, I think, Night 6, and therefore Jasmine is on Night 6.
