If you could show pictures and name the dish that would also be very helpful. Unfortunately I am unable to post pictures. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksuyen Posted January 18, 2023 #354 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Can someone confirm if Ovation already used the new menu in the current sail? Mine will be the next trip after the ship dock on Sydney at 24th Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! It's been hit and miss...but happily plenty of hits for me. Mostly the salads. I am trying to make myself try things I might never try. As a few that I can remember.....the Smoked Salmon salad was excellent (could make a meal out of that). The Buttermilk Calamari was terrible. The Vegan Butternut soup was good, but too salty. The Vegan Maple Soy Tofu and Avocado salad...also delicious! Had the Indian dish last night for dinner, Rustic Chicken Korma...wonderful! Once again...all according to personal taste. 😉 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, there are always plenty of selections to choose from, even when certain items show up every evening. Like Breakfast in the MDR. I remember when RC tried substituting scallops for snails. That didn't go over big with Kathy. She got shrimp cocktail instead. Now don't screw with my Mac n Cheese from the kids menu! 🤣 Is it like Kraft MacNCheese, or the baked kind? Not that either is bad, as long as it's not out of an industrial sized can! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piercetc4 Posted January 18, 2023 #361 Share Posted January 18, 2023 it would be nice if we knew in advance which night each theme night will fall so we can decide what night to possibly dine elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare HappyTexan44 Posted January 19, 2023 #366 Share Posted January 19, 2023 My only gripe now about the menu is that my favorite pasta, cheese tortellini is on lobster night. My cruise is 5-nights and I don't think the cruise before or after is any longer. So, they won't have that on the ship, I do still think I'll be modifying what I order.

I think it might be more accurate to say that ancient people often died for lack of lamb shanks and polenta -- snails and crawly things aren't particularly filling. I suspect none of us cruisers are in danger of starving, regardless of what menu set we favor. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the pdf document from suzyluvs2cruise about 17 posts earlier. In blue text it describes the order of how the menu works for various lengths and types of cruises. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=1293247&key=1aee828bd76e357f70a532fe72b9b344 Dan Edited January 19, 2023 by The Fun Researcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the new menu too but the Apps is currently showing the wrong menu. What I meant is, I am going for 11 nights but the Apps is showing 8 nights cruise menu (no second formal night / no complimentary lobster night). And I am sailing in the next 4 days, come on RCI, pull yourself together! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HappyTexan44 Posted January 19, 2023 #375 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Are there penalties for cancelling a reservation? Maybe book something for every night and then cancel once they update the menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
