It was the exact same menu that the MDR offers every day for lunch when I was on in December - January. 3 of them - exactly the same - nothing special at all.

Sharon in AZ Posted April 27, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Jacqui @kazu is correct, same lunch menu every sea day including embarkation day. However, they have started adding two “Daily Specials”. Here is today’s menu. I can’t download the menu from embarkation day, internet is too slow right now. But this will give you an idea. IIRC a Ruben sandwich was one of the specials. They repeated it yesterday and I ordered a half sandwich. It was delicious and I’m picky about Rubens. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouisCruisers Posted April 27, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I'm glad they are adding two specials each day now. The same menu everyday is too much! I fondly remember when the menus were different each day, even if they repeated them on the longer cruises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BetsyS. Posted April 27, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Lobster roll at $13 is a bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted April 27, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Yes, considering that we paid $25 for a roll in Boston several years ago! 😯 Thank you for the DR lunch menu. I think I will go ahead and decide what I will have on embarkation day. 😁 I would love to try the Reuben. I am also picky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband thought the Rueben at the NY Pizza and Deli was very good. I loved the pizza and salads. It is out of the way so perhaps “undiscovered” on embarkation day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was several years ago. Its good that the koningsdam is opening the MDR for lunch. It was closed for all my cruises and yes I physically checked.

I thought that the Ruben in the MDR for lunch was 100% better than the Ruben I’ve had on the Pinnacle ships at the NY Deli. I ordered a half sandwich with fries and extra sauce. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in AZ Posted April 27, 2023 #14 Share Posted April 27, 2023 BTW, here is today’s MDR lunch menu. I was going to order the tuna melt but when I saw it at the table next to decided not to. Too much bread. So I got the fish of the day—flounder and it was delicious. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BetsyS. Posted April 27, 2023 #15 Share Posted April 27, 2023 0106 - Years ago the Red Sox had a catcher Jason Varitek. He lived in a Boston suburb. He went to a deli and ordered a Rueben to go before the game every time there was a home game at Fenway Park. I guess he thought it brought him good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like I always end up ordering the "catch of the day" for MDR lunch and I don't ever remember being disappointed. It's nice that there is variety there, too -- not the same every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted April 27, 2023 #17 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Glad that you pointed out the Catch of the Day offering. I skipped it over. I'll have to ask about that each time we visit. DH loves fish dishes on the cruises. I like most of it, but my favorite is the lox for breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've subbed in salmon for the fish of the day as well. Had the tuna melt and it was on a normal slice of bread, not a loaf of bread. It was the best special I had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Haljo1935 Posted April 28, 2023 #19 Share Posted April 28, 2023 The street tacos are surprisingly good; I don't eat seafood, so I can't comment on the shrimp, but the beef and chicken are good. With that said, they've always been served in double soft tortillas (as they should be) except for Feb on Nieuw Amsterdam where they came in hard crispy shells. Maybe they were out of tortillas and that's all they could get, didn't ask, but it was strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
