dcbiker97 Posted November 19, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) If you want a change of pace and something different it is. I usually don’t ever do speciality restaurants unless I have OBC to burn through. Edited November 19, 2023 by dcbiker97 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Millennium) We will normally eat at least one night in the Tuscan grill. It's usually a night when the meal in Luminae does not appeal to us, on our last sailing it was the Day 5 menu.

The carbonara that they did sucked big time. So bad that I couldn't finish. Sorry for the bad picture. Later I went to luminae and ordered the prime rib from MDR. It was so much better. Seems that the X has stopped skimping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look at the menu's for the entire cruise and determine which meals we are willing to dine elsewhere. Did not book Tuscan until we were onboard though. Just had the Retreat Concierge book the table for the date and time we wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zitsky Posted November 19, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) I went and booked Tuscan on Eclipse, with friends, all of us eating in Blu. Then we decide about Millie, in Luminae, if we like it. I LOVE macaroni and cheese, if it’s good. I wish they had Murano on Millie. Although I’ve not tried it yet.

(Millennium) I found the ribeye in Tuscan on Millie to be the best steak I've had on a cruise ship. The short rib pappardelle is also one of my favorites. To answer your question more specifically and truthfully, if I have OBC to spend, Tuscan is an excellent way to spend it. If not, I'd probably just stick with Luminae. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have not tried it on any ship, and it's available, try it. Excellent menu, French service, very relaxing atmosphere, etc. As good as any upscale restaurant where I'm from. It's the best of all the Specialty restaurants---( IMO ). ( While we are not suite passengers, I think that suite passengers are permitted to eat there at no extra cost, but, I'm not sure ).

39august Posted November 19, 2023 #12 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) You can order mac and cheese in Luminae from the children's menu any time you wish. It is a fairly large portion. We will not pay the current ridiculous price for Tuscan. ALso, there is a pasta dish every night in Luminae, some better than others. No, suite pax pay the same for specialty restaurants as everyone else. Edited November 19, 2023 by 39august Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted November 19, 2023 #13 Share Posted November 19, 2023 We love Tuscan Grille. Eat there at least once a trip no matter what restaurant is our main. In fact, there are often days where nothing in Luminae appeals to me. Just FYI, on M class ships (and S class ships) you can also order off the main dining room menu when eating in Luminae as the restaurants are together. Sometimes what is on the MDR menu appeals to me more than the Luminae menu which often is a bit too 'fancy' for me. We think Tuscan has very good pastas, a great filet mignon, better salad and appetizer selections than Luminae and their pistachio creme Brule is great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islabahia Posted November 19, 2023 #14 Share Posted November 19, 2023 We are not fans of Luminae and on our past cruise we skipped Luminae altogether. Tuscan on Summit was outstanding! Perfectly prepared filet mignon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goofysmom99 Posted November 20, 2023 #20 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I have had many good and not so good dinners in Tuscan. On a B2B cruises: 1st cruise, best prepared rare tuna I've had in years; 2nd cruise 2 nights later, the worst tuna ever. Chef changed. Currently on Constellation and there's an excellent chef who has made two surprise meals that were fantastic. All depends on the chef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coloradocruiser01 Posted November 21, 2023 #22 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I have eaten at the Tuscan Grille twice on the Reflection and found it was the best meal I ate on the entire cruise. The entree meats were excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Millennium) We had a bunch of OBC to burn on our Transpacific cruise in September and ended up having 2 meals in Tuscan Grill. My filet (both nights) was the best steak I ate the entire cruise. We were in Luminae for the sailing and I just looked at the menus and picked a couple of nights that the Luminae menu didn't excite me. You can usually make a same day reservation atTuscan Grill as it's never very busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare zgscl Posted November 22, 2023 #25 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I usually look through the menus for Luminae and MDR as soon as I connect to ships WiFi. There is always one or two nights both Luminae and MDR menus don’t excite me and I will book specialty those nights onboard. I do like Tuscan and went quite a few times on Constellation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
