There have been a few threads about this.  I actually like the “old” menu better.  Here is a recent one

It looks like its been cheapened substantially and they have reduced the level of effort and skill required by the food prep team.

 

The removal of the lamb is saddening.

I believe a bad mistake is to scrap the delicious soup with the sea food they have had for years and years under a couple of different names for me that is bringing back the meal from 2 to 1 coarse with a little bit of appetizer ........... so maybe no more Canaletto for me !

I agree.  I love that seafood soup.  It’s delicious.  I really love the veggie risotto too.

It sure seems like that.  Raised the price too on top of it.

The lamb was the best thing on their menu. What a shame.

I went last March was disappointed i loved antipasto, steal

k .lamb all gone now …did not care for tamarind eitherv

sel de mer was very expensive and disappointing

I am glad to see some revisions.   What are the daily specials, anyone?

I was on the Nieuw Amsterdam last month and was told by the Canaletto Manager that the new menu rollout was on hold due to supply issues.  It is still not listed on my Navigator app for my next cruise.

 

What ships are currently using the new menu?

I have seen photos of menus for Wednesday (Escalope of Fresh Fish) and Saturday (Grilled Beef Tenderloin) in addition to the Seared Scallops on the un-named day in the above article.

I think it’s only the Rotterdam.  Oh those supply chain issues 😛.  Maybe they need to share information with other cruise lines within the ccl family that aren’t having these issues such as carnival and Princess

 Vegetarians have a substantial right to be angry. Pasta with pesto? that’s the best you can do, HA? So many opportunities with mushrooms and other vegetables to be creative, nutritious, and cost-efficient.

Eurodam April 29 - May 6 AK was new menu. I'll post it if I can find it.

[SilvertoGold]

New menu is a big improvement for us, as we mostly had the meatballs, lamb and tiramisu, over and over.  Now, lots of new items to try, much more to our liking!

This is a menu right from the Rotterdam so that’s as good as it gets.  The gnocchi wasn’t good when I had it.  I don’t think it should be doughy.  It’s been a while since I had the lamb but it used to be good.

[CruiserBruce]

I thought the daily specials were going away with this remodel of the menu.

Wasn't good on Westerdam either. Very heavy. If such a word exists, "glue-y" comes to mind...

I was not a fan previously (subpar food & lacking atmosphere of a 'specialty' restaurant) and I am less so now with the roll out of this more limited menu.

[luvn2cruzzz]

The best thing on the menu were the lamb chops and they have gone away just like so many other menu choices.  Lamb is expensive so let's raise the price and get less....

What?!  No more Beef Carpaccio!  😠

falls into the categories of “expensive” ingredients and skills in preparation.
