coffeebean Posted February 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) I heard today from Tony of La Lido Loca that the classic menus in the MDR are being done away with. He said this is being rolled out fleet wide. How do you feel about this? No more shrimp cocktail available every night; as an example.

Rare vacationlover_mn Posted February 25, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 25, 2023 We just got back from a B2B. We did not have the UDP for the 2nd part. We didn’t find the new menus awful, but we did have issues finding food we wanted some nights. While the Caesar salad and steak were available all 4 nights, nothing else was repeated.

Rare orville99 Posted February 25, 2023 #8 Share Posted February 25, 2023 With the new menu system, the theme in the MDR is matched by the WJ on most evenings, so several of the MDR entries are also available in the WJ - and the prep in the WJ is usually better than the MDR. We look at the menus for both the MDR and WJ and decide on a night by night basis at which one we will dine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the WJ menus available in the app now? Leaving on Oasis tomorrow and some of the MDR menus don't look to be worth an hour and a half of my time.

But it was a complete and total revamp of the MDR menus. Did Tony tell you that your steward will only clean your room once a day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when you go to the MDR page, it will also tell you each nights theme. They almost always match - except for lobster (Royal) night. That one is usually Indian night in WJ. For example, last night was Italian in the MDR and Mangia Mangia (eat eat) night in WJ. The only items that were not offered in both places were the mushroom risotto and the fried risotto ball appetizer. Everything else on the MDR menu was also being served in the WJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MDR "themes" are incredibly dis-jointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
