Son of Anarchy Posted April 26, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2021 We have never been on a cruise when this special day comes around. Does the MDR have a special menu in the evening? Do the Speciality restaurants do something different to their usual rotation of menus? Just wondering as we're on Ventura next Valentine's. I had a brainwave of treating us to the Epicurean as we've never done that before. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowzz Posted April 26, 2021 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2021 We were on Oceana on Valentine's Night last year. Just looked in my diary - we ate in the MDR, table for two, but no mention of a special menu. The Epicurean would be a nice idea, but I suspect it would be packed out. Perhaps go the night before or after the 14th, and get better service, and eat in the MDR on the day itself with a bottle of Champagne? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silkworms Posted April 26, 2021 #3 Share Posted April 26, 2021 SOA. we were on Ventura Feb 2020 and booked Epicurian on 14th. It was fabulous, do go. But try and book as early as poss. We were on the 35 day New Orleans cruise which left on 11 Feb. But booked way before on board so was sure to get a table. Cannot recommend it enough. You can book it online on your cruise personaliser. Terri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Anarchy Posted April 26, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Thanks Wowzz & Silkworms. I did think that it may be a good idea to book in advance, thanks for confirming that that is the case. I'll watch out for when Cruise Personaliser allows booking and go for it. The Ole Lady will be very surprised!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete14 Posted April 26, 2021 #5 Share Posted April 26, 2021 If you have never eaten in the Epicurean before, you won’t need any special Valentines arrangements, the normal experience and the quality of the food will be special. Take the advice and book as early as you can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Windsurfboy Posted April 26, 2021 #6 Share Posted April 26, 2021 My view is have your Valentines meal in the Epicurean on the 13th, when things are quieter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle25 Posted April 26, 2021 #7 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Christmas Day on Azura in 2018 was a very poor show - the MDR food was average at best. Xmas eve food and Xmas lunch was much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was Epicurean on Ventura. Edited April 26, 2021 by grapau27 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
