It wasn't shown as a breakfast option in the dailies posted for the shakedown cruise, but that doesn't necessarily mean the revenue cruises will be the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like we may be on the same cruise on Encore (7th through 14th). I was checking the Test Run Dailies (in another post) for this week on the Encore and they didn't list the breakfast option for American Diner like they did with the Joy. However they do list breakfast in the Explorer Lounge and I don't recall that option when on the Joy, but that could just be my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explorers Lounge is on Princess so I assume you meant the Observation Lounge? Yes, breakfast was available in the Observation Lounge on my Joy and Bliss sailings, and was my go-to for breakfast. Well, let's be honest, for my first breakfast of the day... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, yes, the Observation Lounge. Loved it so much we made sure our cabin was very close. And yes, we eat like Hobbits do. 1st breakfast, 2nd breakfast, tea time, early lunch, lunch. etc etc. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were the Embarkation MDR lunch menus today on the Encore test cruise. (These are not from me, but I thought I'd share over here. Robbie if you're on CC, thanks!) This looks the same as my cruise in February 2020. It's a good menu though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefchick Posted August 8, 2021 #110 Share Posted August 8, 2021 These new changes are great, (except no cheesesteak on the MDR lunch menu 😔). but let’s be honest, the specialty dining has always been pretty good. My question is….have they changed any of the MDR dinner menus? I feel like I’ve seen the same menus in the same rotation for what feels like a million years 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they changed the MDR lunch I would guess there are some changes to the Dinner MDR menus. I was excited to see the Monte Cristo sandwich on the lunch MDR.

(Isn't it great to have a live BirdTravels report!) It looked very similar to embarkation lunches we had before. I do recall that the MDRs seemed to rotate between two lunch menus so perhaps they are both going to be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerooveride Posted August 8, 2021 #117 Share Posted August 8, 2021 On POA back in 2017 they had a Grouper Sandwich on a pretzel roll that was delicious on the Embarkation day MDR lunch menu. Was kinda hoping it was still there! Ohh well, time to try something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new desserts look fabulous, though. And hey, the 4-mushroom soup is still on the menu so it's all good. I always order the sole. Delicious! And I second the opinion on the loss of the profiteroles, my favorite dish on NCL. But replacing that with "assorted ice cream"? Pretty sad, IMO.
