dahirsh Posted January 8, 2023 #51 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I say this as someone who has never ordered an entree from the classics section and will probably have no problem with the new menus. I find it difficult to believe there have been more people ordering Indian "off menu" than any of the classic options. It just doesn't make sense that they aren't offering a simple option for all of the pickier eaters out there. It will be interesting to hear as they roll out the menus if it perhaps is possible to order a simple, unsauced chicken breast for example even if it's not on the menu. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph2017China Posted January 8, 2023 #55 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Well, I never ate the classic items. The new menu, is good. The old menu was old and tired, and around way too long. There is no such thing as a "good" menu when you serve that many people, but I always find it good. I'm pretty sure, this "new" menu is not so new, but rather a rebirth of an old menu with the ideas of different theme nights. Yes, maybe some of it was changed, but this is not all that new. A picky eater is just a person, not exposed to foods from multiple cultures. But the ship does have the windjammer. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Deeliteful Posted January 8, 2023 #57 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Think they look great. I’m sure I won’t starve. The only thing I would take exception to is the fillet of fish - what fish? I need to know what fish it is before I order. Only thing I can complain about, otherwise looks good to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the ship does have the windjammer. That's quite an attitude to take. As a person who eats almost anything, love spice and variety and has extremely picky children, this just doesn't ring true. Some people are super tasters. Some people have allergies. I am adventurous with food, but it's very important when developing menus that feed thousands of people weekly to have a path for those with limited diets....for whatever reason. On a separate note, do we know if they're reformulating any of the specialty dining menus? I'll confess I was just a little bored on our last sailing and would love to see changes. Our Chef's table meal had the exact same menu in 2022 as it did in 2017 (had photos of the menu to compare). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHawk63 Posted January 8, 2023 #61 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I think everyone in our party will be able to find something to eat, but NO banana split anymore on the kids menu?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittnh Posted January 9, 2023 #62 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I really liked the old menu from previous cruise but willing to give this a chance (what choice do I have except to pay for a dining package, lol). Doesn't look bad at all but "Italian" night looks a little underwhelming. That would be the one I'm least looking forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have tried this before though so it is nothing new just a recycled idea! Bringing back a salad entree would be good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad the Indian alternative has been listed again (as it used to). Agree the menu titles are pretty meaningless but then so were the “herb” series. I guess someone in marketing has to show some creativity from time to time. They could call them Day 1, Day 2 etc. Edited January 9, 2023 by c-leg5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
