Rare island lady Posted July 7, 2016 #26 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Looks yummy to me! :) Thanks for posting and sharing! Though I will miss that first night horseradish crusted salmon. That was always our favorite, and the reason we never did BOGO in one of the specialty restaurants on the first night. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksoe Posted July 7, 2016 Author #27 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Is there a fee for the "Local Influence" menu - it states a la carte, so I'm assuming yes. Anyone know the fee? Thanks so much for sharing the menu pictures! 16 Days to go for me!! Nope, the local influence is actually included. Not sure why they designed the menu to show it all the way down there. Usually those options were the better tasting ones. We were on the same cruise and were very disappointed that the cold fruit soups are GONE!!!! Note that some of the entree's don't show the sides - our waiters didn't know the menu and weren't much help - so we got side surprises!!!! Yeah thats about how it went for us. It seems the Waiter's didn't get trained on the menu. It was hard for them to even suggest something. Thanks! I'm assuming the numbers in the top right mean the day? Yes, it SHOULD. We got the days out of order for a few days. We were given "Day 6" on day 5, and vice versa. Nobody knew why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenR122 Posted July 7, 2016 #28 Share Posted July 7, 2016 We were on that cruise as well and the food in the MDR was the worst I have ever encountered. It was really not good. two nights I left not eating an entree and went to have pizza. Another night I ordered from the kids menu and the rest of the nights, I ate but the meals were bland and not great. The only thing I liked was the coconut shrimp as an app one night. I am not a picky eater and go into all my cruises with the expectation that the dining room food is diner quality and this cruise sorely disappointed. We had a group of about 25 and not one of us enjoyed the dining room food. We were on the Anthem in Feb and the food was 100% better. That being said we ate at Sabor one evening and it was wonderful.

Queen of Oakville Posted July 7, 2016 #29 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Yikes! Love the new menu, but too many things that I like each night :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinyork Posted July 7, 2016 #30 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Seems to me to be a combination of the previous menu with some dishes from Celebrity's menus. Like that they are updating them and hope the end result is sorted for our Oasis cruise next Feb. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud_nine Posted July 7, 2016 #31 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Wow, these new menus do not give vegetarians a lot of choice! Two nights without a vegetarian starter and two nights where the only option for veggies is mushroom risotto. Not a big risotto lover but even if I was, I wouldn't want it on two separate nights! Hope these are just a trial and will not be launching fleet wide or I will need to start looking at different ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdlord Posted July 7, 2016 #32 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Confused by the Local Influence selections as it states served ala carte. So, if you order one of these selections and then ask for a side of *whatever* and they provide it to you without additional fee, why serve these selections ala carte to begin with? I guess I'm missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was very well said and I couldn't agree more. It honestly doesnt seem like they know what they're doing with this new menu yet.

So, if you order one of these selections and then ask for a side of *whatever* and they provide it to you without additional fee, why serve these selections ala carte to begin with? I guess I'm missing something. So, think of the local influence items as just an extension of the normal menu. There is one 'starter', one 'entree', and one dessert. The dessert one is located on the dessert menu for the night, as well. You can order it like you order anything else without an additional fee on the menu.

just4kixx Posted July 7, 2016 #37 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Thanks for posting. Does anyone know if there are vegetarian entrees besides the token 1-2 items nightly? I have listed in my dietary restrictions that I am vegetarian, but I don't know if that actually means or does anything... Thanks Annette~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Annette~ Celebrity have a separate vegetarian nightly menu in addition to the main menu. It's one of the reasons we prefer Celebrity over Royal for dining. Plus look at Chops, Sabor, Portafino, 150, etc on Royal and you will struggle to find anything vegetarian.

I also noted the every day escargots that you see on X. Also the apple pie and crème brulee. Can anyone report on whether or not there are raisins (ick!) in the apple pie?

suzyluvs2cruise Posted July 7, 2016 #48 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Thanks for posting the menus from Oasis MDR. Hope to see more changes fleetwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco85 Posted July 7, 2016 #49 Share Posted July 7, 2016 new menus look pretty good, though I am also disappointed to see the cold soups being eliminated. hopefully they roll these out to the Allure and reconsider adding some cold soups back in!

Russ Lomas Posted July 7, 2016 #50 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I agree about the missing cold soups being a let down, but am excited to finally see RCCL trying some new menus in the MDR after over 3 years with the current ones. Looking forward to trying many of the dishes that sound excellent. Hopefully, they execute them well, but we have always found something to our liking every evening in the MDR. Just keep ordering til you get something you like.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
