CntPAcruiser Posted December 29, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 29, 2023 It was hinted to us on our October/November 2023 cruise that once the COVID debt was paid off, menus on Royal would improve again. Let's see if that ever happens!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfaeric Posted December 29, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Given the time between regular menu changes, no. Maybe another year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a set time between changes - at the whim of someone at RCI likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted December 29, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 29, 2023 They've already tweaked the menus. I wouldn't think they'd drastically change anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet that when they set new menus, they have to sign long term contracts with the suppliers to make sure that they get the supplies regularly and all over the world. So they have to at least let the contracts run out or re-negotiate them. But things never happen instantly- this new menu isn't that old, and it takes a while to completely redo it.

I was hoping Royal would follow Celebrity in introducing the favorite entrees every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long would it take to line up the suppliers to add those favorites every night? For every ship. I agree with you, but it's not as easy as just saying "add them". Not sure how many people here are bourbon drinkers, but I really think Royal adding Buffalo Trace products is one of the reasons Blantons got so very hard to get- they have so many ships that they need to supply every single week, many more than once a week, all over the world. On a daily basis, they are feeding over 100,000 people- that's a lot of food to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunonfire Posted December 29, 2023 #11 Share Posted December 29, 2023 What is the current limits or costs for appetizers, main course, and desserts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can order multiple apps and desserts. On occasions, I have requested and got multiple entrees, especially at lobster night. Specialty restaurants you can get mutiple apps and desserts. Only one entree. Prior to pandemic it was $10 for 2nd entrees--not sure what the cost is these days, especially with the current pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bretts173 Posted December 29, 2023 #15 Share Posted December 29, 2023 People really should have a close look at a menu from 2018 and see not much has really changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoperDK Posted December 29, 2023 #16 Share Posted December 29, 2023 All I want is for them to bring back the everyday items. Celebrity did. You can still get the everyday items at Coastal Kitchen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They brought the fruit and cheese plate back, and added another two nights with salmon as one of the entrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet that 99% of the grocery list is the same regardless of what is listed on the menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was prepared to say, "Nah, not this soon", but I opened up the app and looked at menus for our upcoming cruise ... and some evening's menus are now gone. I know they were published earlier. What does this mean? I dunno. Just reporting what I see. On 12/29/2023 at 10:58 AM, proposal said: I know 2023 brought a major menu change, but has anyone noticed any minor changes since then? Yes, some of those classics have snuck back in ... though they're not in a marked section, and they're not the same every night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But less entrees to select on a nightly basis especially with the addition of the vegan and Indian dish. Remember, Vegans had their own menu, although limited. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
