jhusemann Posted January 6, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I know that an adult can order from a kid's menu, but can a kid order from the adult menu? My 6 year old loves the adult selection more than what is listed on the kids menu. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acjahart Posted January 6, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Our daughter has regularly ordered from whatever menu she chose. Starting at age 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieBug28 Posted January 6, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 6, 2016 My DD2 loves soup, so she ordered from the adult menu every night. My DD6 also ordered several adult items like the various pastas, appetizers, etc. We actually didn't even use the kids menu the entire week. The waitstaff had absolutely no problem bringing them whatever they wanted. If your kiddo is excited for lobster night, order away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilMissScareAll Posted January 6, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I ordered off the "adult" menu for my 19 month old on our last cruise. He eats what we eat generally. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 6 year old loves the adult selection more than what is listed on the kids menu. TIA! They don't care who orders off what menu..well, maybe there might be a problem with a 6 yr old ordering off the Wine List... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCFTJCH2V Posted January 6, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I know that an adult can order from a kid's menu, but can a kid order from the adult menu? My 6 year old loves the adult selection more than what is listed on the kids menu. TIA! Absolutely. My kid was 5 on her second cruise on Carnival, and we ordered two meals for her every night, one from the kids menu and one from the adult menu. She was able to experiment with all the different epicurean delights, and by the end of the week was an avowed steak eater. Nas well as an assortment of other goodies.all while we stole the stuff off her kiddie plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieCharlotte Posted January 6, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 6, 2016 When they ask how many children's menus we need, we just politely smile and say, "None." My kids wouldn't want to cruise if they had to eat from the kids' menu for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havingfun2010 Posted January 6, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Remember this simple rule. On a Cruise, there are no such thing as kids, but only passengers. Each passenger pays the same price as regardless of age. No discount for a kid (3rd and 4th guest can be a kid, or adult, and still have a reduced price). Therefore the kid paid for the adult meal already, and the cruise line would love to serve some frozen chicken nuggets, instead of a Lobster tail, but a 6 year old still can love a lobster.

thistle1234 Posted January 6, 2016 #11 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Absolutely. My son has never ordered off the kid's menu on any of our cruises. He goes right for the steak every. single. time. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiTaiMary Posted January 6, 2016 #12 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Absolutely. :) that's one of my kids favorite parts of the cruise- trying new foods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakemeOnACruise Posted January 7, 2016 #14 Share Posted January 7, 2016 when we took my then 18 month old son on his first cruise, we ordered the grilled chicken selection of the adults menu almost every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 6 year old loves the adult selection more than what is listed on the kids menu. TIA! Anyone can order from any menu. The children's menus are only provided because children usually don't enjoy typical adult selections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LREcruise02 Posted January 7, 2016 #17 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yes on our last cruise my 7 year old daughter had everything from frog legs to prime rib! The 5 year old ate cheese pizza just about every night however. Ha! Great thing about cruising is you can let the little ones try new things if they are adventurous eaters and not be worried about the cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseonthebrain Posted January 7, 2016 #18 Share Posted January 7, 2016 It's funny- on a cruise a few years back my nine year old niece ordered lamb chops and seafood. My 12 year old niece would eat nothing but French fries and warm melting cake (good thing I am just the auntie), and my 55 year old aunt would eat nothing but pizza topping off the pizza from the Lido deck. You just never know:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A&Jfamily Posted January 8, 2016 #20 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Absolutely order off the adult menu - 2 or more if you are not sure the child will like it! My kids love the chilled soups - strawberry, mango and peach I believe as they are basically like melted ice cream! The fried shrimp are also popular with them. My youngest is a carnivore - like one of the other posters - and I think he had a flat iron or prime rib every night. And now with the AT menu it is even easier to order extra sides if you don't think they will like what comes with the entree. In fact, cruising is what got my kids eating "real" food - my now 17 year old started at 8, and the now 11 year old at 2. I just never gave them the option of the kids menu. And now the 17 year old eats the tropical fish dish, chicken or indian each night, with whatever asian inspired appetizer he can find.
