cruise wizard Posted January 13, 2023 #326 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I am on Jewel now and was told that the new menu starts on Saturday. We are on the B2B and will have our first encounter with the revised menu on Saturday evening. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do like a lot of shrimp (just about any style, as long as it doesn't smell fishy, not fresh) and some lobster. I must say, that looks great! Except for the coconut part. : ) They do seem to have shrimp on the menu often, and not just the cocktail. That was what tipped me over into thinking the new menus were a positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted January 14, 2023 Author #328 Share Posted January 14, 2023 As Gary just said...we will be official Guinea Pigs for first roll out of new menu here on Jewel. Was surprised at the Chef's announcement, and looking forward to when the app updates to see the new items. First leg last week was old menu...this will be nice for a change in food offerings for second leg! 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going down to 30 degrees tonight here in PC, and in the low 50s for a high, with a lot of cold wind out of the NW right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted January 15, 2023 Author #339 Share Posted January 15, 2023 New menu report. First night, of new menu on Jewel. (Welcome aboard menu). Recommended crab cakes for appetizer. Crispy tasty and a bit spicy. New spinach and artichoke dip. Stale corn chips, watery soup like tasteless dip. Fried Chicken (same as old menu). Crispy tasty. Stuffed Portobello with spinach and red sauce. Too much sauce and piled with tasteless Panko. Dessert: Old menu Key lime pie (delicious) and I had the SF chocolate custard (wonderful).

Looking forward to further reviews and especially the lobster as to the size and quality. Note: IMO, your reviews should be as a topic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We as well....but there were so many things he did or didn't do that other hosts for TAD do so much better. I think he just did not have much training on the procedure.

Assuming I don't bore fellow CC members to tears. 😳 But then again, that other thread about the menus that is running...is probably covering that. I guess no need to add to the subject.

I think a "Live From Jewel of the Seas with the "New" Menus would be a great thread. If you could show pictures and name the dish that would also be very helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa at Mohair Meadows Posted January 16, 2023 #346 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I am on Odyssey next month. Wondering if the order of the menus corresponds with the order they are shown on RCL blog. Is French second night? What night is Caribbean jerk? I need to schedule some specialty dinners for the nights I don't care for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BND Posted January 16, 2023 #348 Share Posted January 16, 2023 New menus are on the app for our 8 Apr 12 night EN cruise. Menus are repeated to fill the 12 nights. I'm betting they will add a few more menus over time, so we shall see. At least by the time we board, they'll have had a couple of months of feedback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaredgold33 Posted January 16, 2023 #349 Share Posted January 16, 2023 On a 3 day Freedom shortly and the app keeps switching menus. Order was Welcome Aboard, Caribbean, Italian. Now it shows Welcome Aboard, Caribbean, French, and oddly enough Italian on the non-existent 4th night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
