Table ready at 624. It sounds like they paged my mom to guest services. Hard to understand but going to check on that.

I always assumed broiled was American for grilled, but now I see broiled on the menu, grilled at a supplement. What is broiled exactly?

I'm not sure there is a difference in the way they are using it. Grilled to me is on a BBQ outside. They did not do that here 😆 

[jam19872016]

They remembered my mom's favorite waiter and got us in his section without us even needing to ask. 

 

Amazing!

Grilled is cooked from bottom heat, broiled is top heat.  Best I can do.

I just eat it, I have no idea how to make it. Glad you could explain it cause I had no clue 😆

No, when I use the grill in my stove it heats from above. But perhaps in the US?

Correct. @exlondoner  A broiler has combo of direct heat from top flame for a sear and heat within the oven to fully cook. Grilling, as mentioned, is cooking on an open flame with no oven heat, unless covered somehow. One can grill veggies but most often never broil veggies. Usually only thick cuts of meat and chops get broiled or maybe garlic bread/ baked pasta for a quick browning. 
The chef must be careful not to overcook food under a broiler.

Different over here.

Love that salmon. My last shot at it I don't think I've seen it on the new menus.

 

The calamari was good...almost too rubbery and could have been hotter. I got spoiled with hot food on Cunard.

 

Chicken parmesean and beef brisket 727.

I must say, I don't obviously know how it tastes but it looked far nicer on Cunard...

It was a little off. Presentation was definitely poor. The taste was ok but as I said a little off. But I suspect they have not taken on new provisions for this menu since before dry dock.

 

Should be fresher starting tomorrow. 

 

But even on their best day, food is not as good on here. Not bad, but Cunard was definitely better.

Tiramisu 745.

Was very good. Carnival doesn't have a lot of great desserts but that is one of my favorites. It's not usually such a generous portion. Quite happy with it 😊.

The Definition Of Broiling And GrillingBroiling and grilling do have a cooking process that's similar. However, grilling has a heat source that's below the food, and the heat source for broiling is above the food. Both types of cooking methods use direct heat.

New machines in the place of a nice place to sit and listen to the music 😞

 

 

 

Basically nowhere to sit and listen to the singer now, they might as well pull him out.

They did that on Glory too, it makes the Conquest Class more like the Sunrise/Radiance, I'm not a fan. I do love those wheel of fortune slots though, lol

Sorry, I have instructions on how to use my Zanussi oven, and the heat source for grilling definitely comes from above. I believe them. And I think that is the universal UK usage.

Is this going to be on the test?
