Meraviglia MDR Dinner menus (7 day out of Brooklyn)

[Neotericisis]

Hi guys, 

 

Does anyone have  MDR dinner menus for the Meraviglia 7 day cruises out of Brooklyn?
 

I am sailing on March 24th and the ports are Port Canaveral, Ocean Cay, and Nassau Bahamas. 
 

I would like to book some specialty dining restaurants, but I want to do it on nights when the MDR menu isn’t the best. Its my understanding that day 2 is the elegant night, so we’ll definitely be in the MDR that day. I know its best to reserve dining as early as possible so knowing the menu ahead of time would greatly help.
 

I have a balcony Fantastica cabin on the 12th flr., so unfortunately I won’t have access to Aurea or YC perks. 
 

Thanks!!

Thanks for posting. I am curious to see the images of at least one of them since there seems to e some difference of opinion on social media on whether the $5 second entrée surcharge applies to all entrées or just some of them which are marked on the menu (on an earlier scan I saw, people were confusing the "item may be undercooked" asterisk with the second entrée surcharge flag). . But I can wait until Sunday.

[Frequent_Cruiser]

There is indeed a mentioning of “A surcharge of $5 for second entrée or more applies” on the menu after the regular entrees. It appears that the surcharge would apply to all additional regular entrees.

Thanks, that's the version I had seen, and the $5 footnote applies to the + on the Entrees header. The asterisks on individual items are the typical "Eating undercooked food may be unhealthy" warning.

Keep in mind that pasta (and most likely) entree salads can be ordered as starters without incurring the extra fee.  Did not try it with the salad, but the pastas were always the entree size.  Also no one has reported back if the fee is flat rate for any more than one entree or applies to each additional entree as the wording is ambiguous.

See you there.  I’ll be wearing my cold weather uniform of blue pants, long shirt and sweater jacket.  T minus 1d.

@MisterBill99 if you are outside, you are hardier stock than I.  I'm sticking to a window at the top sail.

@Hydrotx -  How was embarkation today?  What time did you arrive?  We sail next Sunday the 17th and have only sailed out of Manhattan.

Embark was fine.  Had to wait a bit for zero count.  Our scheduled time was 930, and we got there about 15 mins early.  No parking issues, plenty of spots.  

 

We sailed YC so we waiting for maybe up to 30 minutes while in YC lounge.

Thank you so much for posting the menus! I truly appreciate it. 2 more weeks to go. This has been a crazy week (death in the family etc.) so this has been a big help for me. I really need this getaway. 

[cumsta]

Hello all!  I was watching a youtube video of choices in main dining room (not YC), and there was Chateaubriand.  This was back in Nov.  Any now?

When I was on in December you could order the pasta in the "classic section" with no extra charge. Which I did a few nights as an extra appetizer, the pastas are good. All the other entrees are $5 extra as a second entree.

In September we were able to order the pasta or risotto from the nightly entree section as a starter with no extra fee.  The lasagna was huge and delicious.  The Bolognese from the classic section of the menu was also great.

The bolognese is really good. That's what I was doing, ordering it as a starter. I didn't try ordering the entree lasagna or risotto as a starter. I was actually on in January not December as I first posted.
