dbali Posted April 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2023 How often are menus changed on a world cruise? While I know the menus in Compass Rose are rotated out, do they ever change entirely? Maybe by region? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwn Posted April 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 28, 2023 As I recall the rotation was about 14 days maybe a little less. The menus were not changed out completely but things were mixed up some so the menu didn’t look the same ever second Tues. There were special dishes and regional deck buffets that were fun.

dbali Posted April 28, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Thanks, CWN. We will look forward to the regional deck buffets. Now the real question is, can we go for months without eating real Tex-Mex! Haha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlevin Posted April 28, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 28, 2023 The rotation is actually 28 days. Problem is that they usually start at day 1 at start of segment. Sometimes they realize they should start farther down the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrlevin Posted April 28, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Instead of stating a segment on Day 1 they would start it on Day 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mexican buffets made by Asian cooks are a source of amusement rather than taste. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBWC Posted April 28, 2023 #8 Share Posted April 28, 2023 On this year’s WC, Regent is actually doing a great job on mixing things up in Compass Rose. There have been many destination dishes, and we have had a number of guest chefs come in and add different menu items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here about first stop after a Regent cruise. However, we’ve often overheard others saying they like the Tex Mex buffet 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I saw cruise ship tamales I thought they were short corn dogs with no sticks (years ago on NCL). 🤣 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeflies Posted April 28, 2023 #13 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Will the Chartreuse menu change on the WC, or has it changed on the current WC? I asked this question of the exec chef on voyager last Nov and he said it doesn't change at all. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwn Posted April 28, 2023 #14 Share Posted April 28, 2023 In the two cruises we did on the Splendor in Dec there was no change in the menu. The chartreuse restaurant manager said the menu was fixed. We enjoyed several items on that menu so ate there a number of times. If it is like Prime 7 and Sette Mare have been over the years there has been little change in those menus from year to year…..just some up dating based on what is currently available and maybe a slightly different preparation or maybe a special. Are you worried that you will get tired of the food? We really have not on the WC and Grand Voyages on the Mariner and the Navigator. Compass Rose has so many options, the nightly specials, the always available mix and match, plus we would order a family favorite ahead of time off and on. Then you have the 2/3 other restaurants plus room service to mix it up. We also try to eat lunch or dinner, if in port late, off the ship. It’s culturally fun and mixes things up even more.

irishwitchy Posted April 29, 2023 #15 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I have to say, I was on the ship for 32 days and found the menus boring after 20 days. We also ate dinner off the ship when we in port overnight. Normally that was fish, such as a wonderful deep fried whole fish for two, another whole fish for two covered in curry sauce and a seafood tower that had the local seafood, which was MiA on the ship, big disappointment.

BBWC Posted April 29, 2023 #16 Share Posted April 29, 2023 There are no changes to Chartreuse or Prime 7 menus on the WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidebite Posted April 30, 2023 #17 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I found the Compass Rose menu on our Voyager TA cruise to be generally quite good. There was almost always a change on the new daily menu that I liked. If not defaulted to an always available favourite for supper. Now, when it was tex mex day at the pool grill, that was a day we had lunch in CR lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
