BUT We dined in Aqualina on Journey this week. We decided to approach it on the basis we had never been to Aqualina before but also we’d try only changed dishes. It was a huge success so we’ve booked again. Some of the dishes need their descriptions changing - like the Cornish Hen which has the (unmentioned) delicious duck confit worked through the pasta. The spaghetti bolognaise is so good I’m told and like nothing I’ve ever inflicted on DH I understand. The limoncello mousse dessert is a refreshing delight. So advice is forget you ever knew the old menu, go and stay on the new one You hopefully won’t be disappointed. Next visit I will try and remember to take photos Nice to read this. Looking forward to trying Tuesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted May 25, 2019 #78 Share Posted May 25, 2019 We have eaten three times in Aqualina on Pursuit and have really enjoyed it each time. The spaghetti Bolognaise is delicious as is the Cornish Hen. Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serendipity333 Posted May 30, 2019 #83 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hi, 1st time on Azamara Quest next week to Alaska. Was very happy to see vegan selections are available in MDR and specialty restaurants with no need to contact Azamara with dietary requirements. Previous sailings on NCL and HAL were a pain as meals for next day were chosen before leaving dining room after lunch and dinner. Trouble was the next day you didn't necessarily fancy what you'd ordered the day before but felt you had to eat it after the kitchen catered to you. Also if you were sharing a table or sitting close to others people would want to know why you were pre-ordering, which becomes tiring and repetitive. Happy we chose Azamara and looking forward to seeing the menu's and the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen a number of conflicting reports lately, it will be nice to have the opportunity to finally experience it first-hand. Maybe we will meet on-board and discuss our "First Timers" experience(s)? NRayH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter pan Posted June 2, 2019 #89 Share Posted June 2, 2019 We usually cruise Celebrity, but have decided to “move on” to something smaller and more personal. That said, we are taking our first Azamara cruise in August on the Journey. I have been reading the boards here in preparation and have found so much helpful information to help us plan for our trip. This particular conversation and the responses makes me think we have chosen well. We are looking forward to our cruise and are grateful for all the tips and comments we have found. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewPennCruiser Posted June 6, 2019 #93 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I have a funny story to share. We were on the first cruise to Alaska last week and had the opportunity to eat in Aqualina a few times. We tried something different each night and loved everything we ate. At least to us, we were very happy with the new menu. Except we did miss the Limoncello Soufflé. The new Hazelnut Soufflé is good but the Limoncello Mousse is a poor substitute. Fast forward to another evening in Prime C and after we placed our order we were told they had a special dessert that night and low and behold it was the Limoncello Soufflé. To our excitement we chose that and the waiter laughed and said so was everyone else. Maybe that will be a sign that it was a mistake to remove from the new menu. In any case it was as good as it always was in Aqualina! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordski Posted June 6, 2019 #94 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Had the Limoncello Soufflé this week in Prime C on Journey. i agree that it was terrific and also should be a regular offering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikan Posted June 6, 2019 #95 Share Posted June 6, 2019 We will soon be on Pursuit, sailing through the land of lemons - Amalfi, Sorrento, Capri, - and would be overjoyed to find Azamara's Limoncello Souffle back on the menu! Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottie A Posted June 6, 2019 #96 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I loved the old menu with a Grand Marnier Soufflé but the Limoncello one does sound delicious! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave We were on the Tokyo to Seward cruise and I commented to my husband in Aqualina - I wish they had the blue cheese souffle and the limoncello souffle still on the meno and hey presto the very next night we had both.....we came to the conclusion that 'Walls have ears', especially on a cruise ship....
