JennaS90 Posted August 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2017 My Partner and I are massive foodies! :) We are wondering if it is possible to ask for MDR menus for all nights when we board Reflection on 21 Aug so that we can pick our Speciality Restaurant nights and book accordingly?

Kamloops50 Posted August 2, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2017 MDR menus are published daily not in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orator Posted August 2, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 2, 2017 You can ask the Restaurant Hostess if she has menus, but as said they may vary according to your cruise and there food supplies. They often change the normal menu order. You can always ask your waiter to see the menu for the next day. I do wish that they would place the menus for the cruise on the Interactive TV as it would make it much easier to decide on Specialty restaurants or going to the Buffet. Guess they don't want people complaining that what was on the TV was not accurate when the Chef makes a change in plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCruise Posted August 2, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Agreed. If you are looking for more than one day out, the menus likely won't be available, or, if they have them, tell you they may be changed. Nothing is locked in stone at the beginning of a cruise. They may, as mentioned, shuffle around days. They may (and do) add or eliminate items based on availability. Just go with the flow. Never really had anything on a Celebrity ship that would drive a "foodie" agog save perhaps the Beef Cheeks or the Pork and Beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't worried about any food driving us agog but we'd rather pick a Speciality night if the MDR menu isn't to our taste and likewise don't want to miss out certain key dishes from MDR. We were impressed with Speciality dining last Sept, MDR was hit or miss with quite a few duff meals, so I reckon we will do Speciality more often than not.

dutchclogs Posted August 2, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 2, 2017 We had day 1 to 7 menus on the interactive tv for our 12 night Silhouette cruise just past. Then the last couple of days. The first 7 days was not entirely accurate (some days were indeed swapped, some dishes differed ) but it did give an idea. Definitely worth checking out!

Mr. Click Posted August 2, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I know they have copies for the maitre'd and his assistants. On our last cruise on the Millennium to help deal with DW's food allergies our assistant maitre'd brought a copy of the next day's menu to our table to make sure there were things she could eat and enjoy. They do make changes from time to time due to supplier shortages, especially in the more remote areas they sail too. I am sure if you ask to see the week's menus so you can plan your other specialty dining they will be glad to pull them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shayelle Posted August 2, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Someone in our group would usually get them in the morning. About 7 of the 10 days, but the time dinner came, something on the menu had changed. I don't think you can guarantee they won't make changes, although it wouldn't be massive changes.

Melissa at Mohair Meadows Posted August 2, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I'm not sure this is true, but I've read you can go to the Purser's desk (help desk) and they can show you the menus for the week. I'm going to try it, in order to schedule Specialty dining also. Melissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerelmx Posted August 2, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 2, 2017 There are many internet sites with MDR Menus, risk of change always exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted August 2, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 2, 2017 If this is really important to you, ask the Maître d' at the beginning of the cruise if he/she can obtain them for you. As said, they may be tweaked but should give you a general idea. You can expect fancier/better food options on Elegant Chic nights as a general rule.

Dunmore2 Posted August 3, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 3, 2017 We asked our waiter to look at the upcoming menus to help us plan the nights we wished to go to speciality restaurants ( avoiding certain nights where we knew from experience we didn't care for the choices) and were given copies of all 12 MDR menus to keep.

The Fun Researcher Posted August 3, 2017 #15 Share Posted August 3, 2017 You can find examples of the MDR menus by googling. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MVPinBoynton Posted August 3, 2017 #16 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I have all the MDR menus for the cruises we have taken on our website, that is linked to in my signature. The days can get mixed up sometimes; but I would bet big money that the first day is always the same with prime rib. It has been on all of our 22 Celebrity cruises.

We have sailed many times with Celebrity, 1st night is always home style pork chop and my fav the prime rib! We often ask for the menu for the following night to look at after dinner.

Your thoroughness is appreciated. Thanks so much. I am so glad it has helped you. We were in Calgary, Banff and Jasper in June and just fell in love with your part of the world. It is an amazing place. I am so glad that we finally got to experience it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunmore2 Posted August 4, 2017 #23 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I read that! I laughed at your search for a bear sighting. We had relatives from Denmark and that was all they wanted to see. On that trip, none could be found. On all our previous and past trips, they were everywhere! You'll have to return when it's not the 150th anniversary, not nearly the crowds in the parks.

The Fun Researcher Posted August 15, 2017 #25 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Just chiming in to confirm that all 7 nights of dining room menus were available on day 1 of our Aug 6th sailing on the Equinox. They were available on the TV's menu system. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
