A chef friend recommended serving it with grilled peaches which is glorious. And other fruits off season. You are killing me…😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted December 6, 2021 #102 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I have thought about this question for quite some time. It's difficult to answer. But, maybe I have a possible one. A post today from a current Seabourn Ovation cruiser commenting about his experiences with the food and comparing them with other experienced Seabourn cruisers aboard confirms what I have thought for some time. It's the Executive Chef in the Galley that determines a guest's satisfaction with the cuisine. On the Ovation, the guest has been disappointed as other experienced Seabourn cruisers. That's what I have found during my cruises on HAL and Princess. Fettuccine Alfredo, just as an example, is a Princess menu staple. On Royal Princess (the new one), it was a watery, cheese-less mess. On other Princess cruises, it's delicious! The same type of situation is what I have found on HAL ships. I have learned that Executive Chefs have the freedom to "tweak" Corporate Recipes. Some don't, some do very successfully, some try with various degrees of success. It isn't the cruise line that consistently has the best food, I don't think. It's who is in charge of the Galley.

A great point and very accurate. I’ll go one step further and say that it is the entire culinary team which is led by the Executive Chef. When the entire team is hitting on all 12 cylinders everything is great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbtan Posted April 15, 2022 #106 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Still stand by Oceania. We should base this by Main Dining room & not by "specialty" rest. Specialties on Oceania are outstanding, but so are those on Celebrity(Edge & Solstice class) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, nothing more than good. Tuscan Grille and Murano: my experiences there exceeded my MDR experience. One dinner in Murano: very good, but, the ambiance and presentation was a bit more pretentious than needed. One dinner and one lunch in Tuscan Grille: both were excellent with my lunch being the best of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
