eandj Posted October 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I can't remember ...Does Celebrity offer cheese plates on the daily MDR dinner menu? DH has favorite lines for their premium offerings every night. But we can't remember after being away for 3 years, if X offers them. If not, where can he get premium cheeses? I'm not talking sliced processed cheeses offered at lunch buffets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick in Falls Church Posted October 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yes- but I didn't think it was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_tchr Posted October 4, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The buffet has always had quality cheese when we visited, never anything processed. Brie, Gouda, Swiss, Edam, Ementhaler and the rest. They cut you a piece from a chunk of cheese. Agree the cheese plate in MDR, average with cheese always warm and too soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solon Posted October 4, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The best cheese on this ship is always in Murano. You have to dine there for your fine European cheeses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Lagoon Posted October 4, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 4, 2015 MDR has a cheese plate in their dessert selection. Actually, I will start with the cheese plate as an appetizer by mid-cruise. It is accompanied with dried fruit and water crackers.:) At lunch in the buffet, there is not a decent cracker to be seen. Saltines are presented next to the cheese. :eek: I thought they were married to soup!! There is water crackers to be had if you flag a staff member down (maitre d') and if you are prepared to wait. I just point to the cupboard where I know they are hidden.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WALKER1313 Posted October 4, 2015 #7 Share Posted October 4, 2015 If no good crackers at lunch, I order more at dinner and save until next lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Got2Cruise Posted October 5, 2015 #9 Share Posted October 5, 2015 You can also order the cheese plate off the dessert room service menu on the TV. Remember that it's free until 11:00 pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacrum43 Posted October 6, 2015 #11 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) I see people excited about the cheese on cruises a lot. I know Celebrity charges extra for room service gourmet cheese plate. I don't really understand what people are so excited about - is it the quantity of free cheese available? Personally, I can drive down to my local supermarket and easily buy cheese to serve on a plate at home (and I do - my favorite currently is triple cream brie served on sourdough with pepper jelly). I get more excited by the hot dishes which would be a lot more work to fix myself at home. Edited October 6, 2015 by tacrum43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare villauk Posted October 6, 2015 #12 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Just ask your waiter. Our friend often has a cheeseboard with a selection of Blue, Stilton cheeses etc., she just asks the waiter when we're ordering desserts ;). No problem :).

LuckiePuris Posted October 6, 2015 #13 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Celebrity has two cheese plates on the room service menu. A complimentary cheese plate which is pretty standard cheese and crackers, it's ok. They also offer an Artisan cheese plate for a charge of $15 which features a selection of cheeses from Murano, with grapes and crackers. This artisan cheese plate is quite nice and worth the charge, however the full cheese selection when you dine in Murano is amazing! You can order the cheese plates to have in your room, or we would order and take with us to Cellsrmasters for a pre dinner drink. Pic below of the artisan room service plate.

cle-guy Posted October 6, 2015 #14 Share Posted October 6, 2015 A cheese plate is part of the standard MDR dessert menu, Just order it off the menu, no special requests needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
