Not excited for the American Table menu

[Aplmac]

Agreed that this fancy new American Table menu is nothing special.

They coulda left the old menu!

 

But worse than the menu

is the specially-chosen but bloody awful syncopated Jazz music

selected to go with American Table menu! :confused:

 

 

I learned this when I complained to the Maitre d' desk on my way out

when I was told that they can't change the dreadful dreary music

because it is themed with American Table. :eek:

 

Several of us --including the wait staff-- were wondering about this annoying choice of music

which does NOT 'gel' with Carnival's funnest Caribbean cruise!

 

 

What a shame that weird Syncopated Jazz

is the only American music Carnival could find to match-up with American Table?!

Someone thought of it as 'Sophisticated/Refined'

which they are clearly aiming for

judging by the hovering table service we got in the midships dining room.

Magic is scheduled to switch on May 31.

 

 

Thank you!! I thought I had read that somewhere but couldn't remember. I wouldn't mind trying the new menu sometime but some of the stuff off the old menu I have been craving!!!

1. What's wring with Applebee's ?

 

2. With any 7 day menu, there are several entrees I like but offered on the same night, and other nights that I can't get too excited about any of the options

The vegetarian options now consist of vegetable pies/tarts/biscuits without enough protein. If I wanted to eat unhealthy food I would choose fried chicken but that isn't available either . Of course every night there is an Indian option which I do like to have once on a 7 day cruise not every night.

Lack of protein would seem to be a hazard of being vegetarian. Looks like there are also a salad or three, a soup or three, vegetarian lasagna and other pasta dishes, spring rolls, besides the pies/tarts/biscuits and the pastry.

Almost all of the vegetarian dishes have cheese. Isn't that protein?

[Perez1992]

The poor vegans i don't know what they would be able to eat

[MrMileStoner]

Then there is always vegan protein powder you can sprinkle on everything.

I think both are likely big business. But everything in moderation. :p

There is a review floating around out there of someone who cruised on the Imagination and was a Vegan. The staff pretty much bent over backwards to accomodate her. I can't remember all the specifics of everything she got, but I know that they made her the chilled Strawberry Bisque with soy milk as opposed to cream. Things like that.

 

 

To everyone else, there is actually quite a bit of protein on these menus for vegetarians. Cheese, as mentioned. As well as beans/legumes, whole grains, and some vegetables. Eggs are readily available at breakfast and brunch.

I think Carnival generally does go above and beyond what they need to.
