For dessert she has Grand Marnier Souffle while mine is apple pie ala mode. You are right about the lamb burger. Add mint sauce to the burger and wow!

I used to love the vianese cake on the main dining room menu. It was fantastic. I do love good chocolate 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second was jerked chicken from a Jamaican chef. Reminds me of a time I was seated next to an Indian couple who ordered Indian no meat as they were vegan and the man shared his meal with me which included spicy papadums and biryani rice. The entire meal was so delicious I had to get it on another cruise. Some of those Indian chefs are fabulous cooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someday we will get back to cruising so we can all enjoy the pampering at sea and getting our favorite meals. There is something for everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut head Posted May 28, 2020 #80 Share Posted May 28, 2020 My husband and I rarely eat in the MDR or at the buffet, but even so, my favorite meal(s) are all of them! The reason being? I don't have to prep, cook or clean up after the meal! Can't wait to get back on the high seas! Be well and safe everyone! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always found really good to great food onboard. I have not been to luminaire since I have no need to pay for a suite so I guess since I can’t get in there I’m part of the subject of classism to funny, Room is to sleep in n store clothes but that’s my opinion I know many enjoy the little extras. I know food well, went to culinary institute in ny and worked and ran hotels n restaurants for 25ish years. I like the main dining room and only once in all my cruises can I think of I didn’t enjoy it. Was mainly because of family that was traveling with us at that time. I enjoy the escargot and many of the other dishes on board. The only thing I truly did not like was last year on reflection on thanksgiving they made a terrible stuffing. It was just bad. LCG is one of my favs just because it’s food done simple n well. I always find great things in buffet n like the rotating themes there. Yeah, they don't always make food like grandma did! LOL I remember my first cruise in 1996 and they had "biscuits & gravy" at the Windjammer on the Monarch of the Seas. The biscuits were flat and the gravy was brown beef gravy....

begood2me Posted May 29, 2020 #89 Share Posted May 29, 2020 after eight mint chocolate chip ice cream used to be outstanding but it's lost something the last few years. That was always a must get and something to hope for the next day in oceanview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T I have had many excellent dishes on Celebrity, in the MDR as well as specialty restaurants, but I have to admit when I saw this thread, the first thing I thought of was the worst food I had on Celebrity - the meat loaf in Blu. We were toward the end of a transatlantic, and I should have said lets go to OVC and just have a salad, but dinner is our most looked forward to evening entertainment, so there we were and I tried the meat loaf - just say no to the meat loaf and have a different wonderful choice. The Indian food is great - if you like it or want to try something beyond the OVC offerings, they do an Indian multi-course dinner one evening in Sushi on Five. This was on Reflection, but I think they have done it on other ships as well. Favs I haven't seen mentioned are the lavash crackers at dinner, the bouillebaisse in Le Petit Chef and the pizza on Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike981 Posted May 29, 2020 #99 Share Posted May 29, 2020 The first thing that came to mind was the white chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies. I'm not a big sweet lover (just a big guy), but I loved them. They were very hard to find though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the chocolate tart also as well as the eclairs just wish it had real cream inside but I know that's asking too much. I'll sometimes bring them to my cabin to enjoy with a drink on the balcony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
