LGW59 Posted January 11, 2023 #976 Share Posted January 11, 2023 How is it that if someone does not agree with a post and states that and explains their reason, they become a "hater"? I can't quite figure that out. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they use real LOBSTAH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that same trip in Niagara Falls Canada at our Hilton Hotel we had a grilled cheese sandwich that was described as an "Adult" version that was as good as the Mac and Cheese. Both used 3 or 4 kinds of gourmet cheeses and added locally smoked bacon and ham. You are not going get that on a cruise or restaurant, it usually looks like the Kraft stuff 🤮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sure hope OVC is still a good dinner option cause on our last cruise (Viking) we really enjoyed just picking out what we wanted. Looking at the MDR dinner menus on the app, there has been a significant change in menu choices than what I looked at 2 months ago…very lil beef for sure. We sure hope we have made the right choice! We usually do late traditional dining on X so occasionally stop at OVC for a pre-show snack. Never dinner. On our last VO sailing actually dined at the buffet 5 nights. Food was that good. Sushi, crab legs, peel & eat shrimp every night plus themed cook to order offerings and much of the mdr menu. Expecting similar from X, even before the recent changes, will leave you doomed to disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilbertsdaddy Posted January 11, 2023 #994 Share Posted January 11, 2023 18 hours ago, prmssk said: The MDR menus posted recently (at least the ones I saw) were for an Edge class ship and were incomplete as they left off the page with each dining room's specific options. These menus are not applicable to the Millennium. I haven't seen any confirmed changes to the M class MDR menus. If you want to see current menus, go to your app, click Select a Different Cruise and then at the bottom browse to your ship and one of the most current sailings. Thank you, very helpful. I just tried that and see that for an upcoming cruise on Millennium some of the entrees are still there and a few are not (beef wellington for example). What seems most concerning is what another poster mentioned about apps - mostly soup and salad, guess I'll be having Shrimp cocktail every night! There were some very interesting apps listed before that I was looking forward to. Maybe the differences I see are based on where the ship is (Caribbean vs. Alaska)?

Don't even look at it anymore other than selecting our check in time. We wait until we are on the ship with the menu in our hands before deciding on our selections.

If I saw slop like that in Luminae, I would be done with Celebrity forever. Bad enough the menu in Luminae has already been downgraded. On the Reflection last August Luminae had no fillet of beef or tenderloin on the first night, subbed with a 5oz sirloin, but I had the Branzino, and it was good. The beef we had the rest of the cruise was not the quality you would expect in Luminae. The traditional lobster roll on embarkation lunch was 75% chopped onions and celery with mayo, it was very hard to find any lobster. I sent it back and asked that some lobster meat be in my roll, and I got the same thing back, so I gave up and settled for the Luminae burger and fries. I wasn't the only complaint about the lobster roll and the beef on the rest of the cruise. One afternoon in Michaels Club we had a very lively discussion with other Retreat passengers about Luminae food quality.

Add the onions and peppers plus a lot of bacon and pork belly, then throw out the beans and serve it on a roll with melted Gouda cheese and I would eat it. 😋 Edited January 11, 2023 by terrydtx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
