Rare uktog Posted Thursday at 03:56 PM #3 Share Posted Thursday at 03:56 PM No one has really given feedback on these items being needed so I doubt it’s on her radar. Chilled soups are so last century according to the food writers 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have cruised on 20 different cruiselines since 2004, and a good number offered neither of these items in the MDR. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can talk about that from a good chat to the restaurant manager on Onward. It has been noted high up that the most popular dish on the Aqualina menu has been removed and I'm told they are going to do something about it. Yes, some will tell you that you can still order it by arrangement, but that's not the point. Fingers crossed there will be some adjustments made.

KirkNC Posted Thursday at 07:11 PM #9 Share Posted Thursday at 07:11 PM I don’t find the surf and turf served on cruise lines all that good. Particularly the lobster which is often over cooked.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they use warm water tails which if not overcooked are not bad but never as good as a Maine lobster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you also have the flexibility of ordering anything you feel like eating, cooked to order and at temperature, such as surf and turf. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamrag Posted 16 hours ago #17 Share Posted 16 hours ago To quote, albeit a little amended, an overused phrase....surf & turf is now so much last decade, and anyway you don't really get the best of either being a mixed dish! Menus have evolved to the extent that there are so many better quality options out there. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully she will make a change. Maybe you are on the wrong forum. Surf and turf and chilled soups are so 1980’s. Oceania have an 88 year old consultant chef working for them, so might get them onboard their ships, as from previous experience a lot of their food is in a time warp. Azamara, and I know it’s not to everyone’s tastes, have been rolling out new menus exploring tastes and culinary adventures from around the world. Some of the newer dishes have a lot more spice than before, that suits me, but not everyone agrees. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
