Simbar Posted April 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Reviews of the steakhouse have piqued my interest and I was thinking about trying for reservations on our upcoming cruise. I have one question though. I see it's $10 for kids and I know the kids menu has a filet on it. My daughter is a great eater, will try anything, but I was wondering if the junior filet doesn't peak her interest that night, can she order off the adult menu?

Jgatts0212 Posted April 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 29, 2018 She can, but it will be $35 instead of $10. We have done this with my son, when he was 9 and 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted April 29, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Why not have her share in the dinner of the rest of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simbar Posted April 29, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted April 29, 2018 seriously? Seriously to what....towards my original question. Someone above informed me that if my daughter ordered off the adult menu it was $35 or whatever the adult charge is. Yes, I wondered about that because all I see for kids is the $10 charge. I asked, and understand that if she were to order off the adult menu we would be charged that. Sorry that my child is a foodie, will try anything (her fave veggies are asparagus and cauliflower) and a great eater. She does not do your typical kids menu items like hot dogs, Mac n cheese, chicken tenders, hamburgers, etc......even now she orders adult meals for the variety they provide. She's also 10 in the gifted program last night and understood the answers I gave to her that I received. She's okay with sticking to the kids menu if she has to (hubs and I are still deciding on booking the Steakhouse), but admits something on the adult menu may tempt her (again, great eater and adventurous foodie).

coevan Posted April 29, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 29, 2018 no, sharing a meal, was not talking to you but Micah's Dad, who knows you can not share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simbar Posted April 29, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) no, sharing a meal, was not talking to you but Micah's Dad, who knows you can not share. Oh okay. :D Yeah, the portions are small enough, so sharing with her would be an issue. Although, on land we do often share adult meals since portion sizes are ample and it saves us $. But she's very excited to be able to have 2 entrees in the MDR. :hearteyes: Edited April 29, 2018 by Simbar typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgatts0212 Posted April 30, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I would definitely recommend it. My son loves it, and have also taken our daughter, who loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I understand where your coming from. If she has to stick to the kid's menu in the steakhouse, she can always make up for it on the other nights in the MDR, lots of chances there to be adventurous and try new stuff and get as much food as her heart's desires! We loved getting one of the "Rare Finds" apps to share and get a chance to try something we'd most likely never order in a restaurant back home. I really hope y'all enjoy your cruise and culinary adventures! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted April 30, 2018 #10 Share Posted April 30, 2018 no, sharing a meal, was not talking to you but Micah's Dad, who knows you can not share. Let me clarify. she orders the ten dollar meal and if still hungry shares with her parents who probably cannot finish their meal anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacruise804 Posted April 30, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 30, 2018 no, sharing a meal, was not talking to you but Micah's Dad, who knows you can not share. Is the prohibition on sharing just that multiple people cannot share one meal - each passenger needs to order either a child's meal ($10) or regular meal ($35)? My husband and I like to sometimes each order something different but then split the meal so we can try more than one thing. Would it be acceptable for him to get steak and I order seafood and we each have some of the other's entree (or app, dessert, etc)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH and I will share, we each get our own app and we get a 3rd to share to try something new, we've traded bites of each others entree, deserts, etc. Never had a problem with it in the MDR.

coevan Posted April 30, 2018 #15 Share Posted April 30, 2018 yes, of course you taste each other's food, but Pacruise, I think you're missing the point. You can go to a US restaurant and share a meal. You can not go to Red Lobster on all the crab you can eat night and share a plate. The Steakhouse like the Chef's table is a per person deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenoNanaOz Posted April 30, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Our experience with our 8 year old Granddaughter. She had the Fish and Chips off the Children's menu and ate it all. I was unable to finish my Steak and Lobster and shared it with her. No problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it wasn't an issue in MDR but that sometimes Specialty Restaurants have different rules yes, of course you taste each other's food, but Pacruise, I think you're missing the point. You can go to a US restaurant and share a meal. You can not go to Red Lobster on all the crab you can eat night and share a plate. The Steakhouse like the Chef's table is a per person deal I was seeking to clarify the point - which is why I asked about both scenarios. "Sharing isn't allowed" can be interpreted differently depending on where you live and what the context is. All you can eat meals are typically no sharing allowed (some exceptions for young children), but I have also seen restaurants that prohibit any sharing or charge an extra fee for split plates of a single entree. Two people can go to Red Lobster and share an Admiral's Feast or similar single serving dish - the same individuals would have to order their own Shrimp Lover's meal (I do miss the old days of all you can eat crab legs - haven't seen that in over 15 years). So sometimes, it's per person and sometimes not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sometimes, it's per person and sometimes not. Well, I think if you've both paid the $35 fee, y'all can share with no problem. I think what they said about no sharing meant if only one of y'all ordered a meal and the other ate half of it and only expected to pay one $35, then it would be a problem. So, if you both pay, share away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
