11 nights in Luminae

[twins_to_alaska]

Thank you so much for posting all those pictures! Will be dining there in August. :-)

The staff is more than happy to bring a salad at any meal. You can even request what you'd like in it, if available. Every dinner we had a side of steamed vegetables. At lunch, they easily put together a grilled chicken salad. Enjoy!

Yes and some of it was even better

Yum! I'm hungry all over again after seeing your photo's and recently spent 15 days on Infinity - dined mostly in Luminae. We did occasionally order salad or other items from the MDR menu too.

Thanks, Patty, for the amazing pictures! They bring back wonderful memories, though you had many things we didn't choose so it was good to see pictures of what we missed. The chocolate desserts were superb in Luminae, but that almond cake was my favorite!

 

Looking forward to 14 days of Luminae on our next cruise - looks like we will have some new favorites!

Thanks Patty1955. Really appreciate you making the time to take and post the photos of the menus and food. I am looking forward to trying Luminae again this fall.

Thanks for the pictures, we are going on the Summit Sept 4 in a SS. Looking forward to it.

Everything was excellent. It's all perfectly cooked and very tasty. We learned pretty quickly to leave off the sauce, otherwise it was just too rich.

The ribs were really good and the octopus. My husband loved the crab cakes. Every night, there was an amuse bouche before the appetizer and a palate cleanser before dessert. They were actually some of my favorite things.

The only thing I didn't like was the scallops. Scallops are my favorite food and they just didn't taste good. They weren't old or turned, they just didn't taste like scallops

Thanks Patty, the pics looks really great, I tried to reach into your pics to grab a bite, i guess I'll have to wait for my cruise.

You'll notice that some of the dishes have a bite taken from them when the picture was taken. One dish disappeared so quickly, I had to ask our neighbors if I could take a picture of theirs.

I understand. We took very few pictures. We just gobbled.....

Thanks for the pictures, they bring back great memories.

Last cruise was our first in Blu - and I swore I wouldn't like it -- LOVED IT. Next cruise is 15 nights in Luminae - and looking at these photos - I swear I won't like it. Guess I know that I'll have Blu for a back up. ;)

PAD THAI NOODLES Stir Fried Vegetables/Peanuts/Mint/ Man Pla

They all looked good, but none knocked my socks off. I remember the Queens Grill on the QM2. You could go off menu any time. I would hope Luminae offers that as well.

Thanks for taking the time to post these great pictures. I don't think we will ever have the opportunity to book a suite so this gave me a "taste" for Luminae which I otherwise wouldn't have experienced.

[SuiteTraveler]

Wow the food looks great and I'm excited about all the sashimi preparations!

That makes me just plain sad. I hope they are awesome when we cruise!

 

Awesome pictures OP.:)

Nice photos! Thanks.

Nice photos! Thanks.

Thank you!

Loved loved loved your pics!! even though I will not be one of the ones who gets to experience this place on our upcoming cruise on Silhouette. Gives me an idea though (I hope) of what we might experience food-wise, although to a lesser degree I'm sure.

[Milhouse]

I just happened upon this thread today.

Nice photo document of the dishes. I probably would ordered most of the same items! :)

[Momma Rene]

I noticed that the menu is quite small although the food looks beautiful! Is there any way that you can order large tossed salads or just plain steak, chicken or fish? I'm thinking that some evenings I may want something plain rather than fussy.

[TXHappyCruiser]

I am traveling with a vegetarian friend. Does anyone know if they have a separate vegetarian menu? I see options but wondering if there is more than one choice available.

I've heard that you can order plainer food but I don't have any experience with that. The sauces are offered separately so you can leave your food plainer. We started leaving the sauces off after the rich food started to get to be a bit much.

You can also eat in the MDR or Blu if you prefer.
