Rare jam19872016 Posted January 31, 2023 #26 Share Posted January 31, 2023 On Celebration in December they offered to bring me Wasabi for the mashed potatoes. In January on Freedom I asked for it and was told no. The cheesecake had a new recipe also. It had the same flavor as before but the mousse like consistency of the buffet desserts. It was basically all frosting and crust no actual cheesecake. It was a disappointing meal especially since the included food on Freedom was actually much better than recent trips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobster smelled strongly of bleach, which means it was bad or on it's way. It also looked no different that Dining Room other than it was grilled. We were asked if we wanted another one and that would be a big fat NO! That is very disappointing to hear.🙁 I was hoping the quality of the Steakhouse food would not drop off the way that of the included food has. I thought the (recently increased) upcharge would keep it, within reason, from going downhill. I guess I was naive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn, yet another disappointment for me. The cheesecake is my go-to Steakhouse dessert.🙁 I'm a bit of a cheesecake snob - I make very good cheesecake.☺️ And the Steakhouse cheesecake used to be solidly decent IMO. Well, pooh. Not looking forward to my Steakhouse reservations as much as I was before this thread.🙁 I'm bringing my own wasabi, in case when I ask for it they don't have it. But I can't exactly bring my own cheesecake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even there, they no longer have the carrot cake... at least I have not seen it there my last few cruises. And those cupcakes --- all show and no go. 😞 I'm not trying to complain --- but when given good reason, I won't keep quiet ! Tom 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Crap, the carrot cake gone, too?😢 Well, I guess I can Pollyanna it by saying that all this is going to help me maintain my weight on my next cruise and not come home my typical 5 lbs heavier than I was on Embarkation Day.😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, there is no big difference in these two lobster types as they belong to the one species ‘Homarus Americanus’, that’s why when eating them or just looking at them, you will see no distinctive features.

You aren't going to get live lobster on Carnival or any other cruise line AFAIK. They are all frozen. How they are caught, handled, frozen, and cooked are all going to be bigger factors in taste and texture. A rock lobster could easily come out the winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rellersi Posted February 1, 2023 #39 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I'll be the odd one in this thread. I like the new menu. Food is still great. Do not do seafood so whatever lobster they have doesn't matter to me. Sides are all good, so were the appetizers. Did not like the bone marrow so did not miss it. Only item that could have been better, there did not seem to be as much sea salt on the sea salt rolls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMfan14 Posted February 1, 2023 #45 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Did the steakhouse back in October and everyone in the past posted about how large the portions were and to be honest I wasn't impressed. The portions were smaller just like what they serve now in the MDR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted February 1, 2023 #46 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I've said this before, and I'll say it again... I REALLY REALLY don't like the fact that they have your server now plating your steaks. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer that the cook plate the food - and arrange it as he (it seems that they're all males, probably some rare exceptions) sees fit. In the hands of some servers, it just appears as a clumsy process. Tom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I have an allergy to seafood and have caught them twice almost using the same serving tongs for my steak after touching seafood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted February 1, 2023 #49 Share Posted February 1, 2023 We enjoyed Steakhouse so much on Magic this January that we went three times total! My DH ordered Surf and Turf each time, he loved it that much. I didn't notice any bleach smell on my lobster. The cheesecake was tasty and I brought the rest back to our room. I agree, the mushroom side is yummy!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
