babygirll22 Posted April 11, 2007 #1 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I recently got my impatient little hands on the dinner menus from the 4 night Majesty sailing. Everything looks so good! I'm definitely a foodie and also one of those people who takes forever to make up their mind when ordering....too many times I haven't been able to decide and end up ordering a couple things and taking home a plethora of doggie bags! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could recommend the really not-to-be-missed items on the Majesty's menu? And before you tell me, I know I can order more than one thing...but this is my first cruise and while my cousin and future cruisemate is all too familiar with my idiosyncrasies I'm not sure yet if I feel like sharing them with a group of strangers at the table!:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jablbabl Posted April 11, 2007 #2 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Sorry, I haven't been on this cruise yet, I am going on May 28th. I saw your post and I couldn't help myself, where did you get a copy of the menus? I'd love to see them before I go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd probably bring you two different entrees if you asked also! The Vidalia Onion Tart was very good. Escargot the best I've ever had. Wish I had taken our waitress up on bringing out a second one. Risotto & scallops were delicious The lobster bisque, clam chowder and tuscan tomato soup were different than what I am used to, but still good. Onion soup was disappointing Prime rib was good Lamb shank was so tender, did not need a knife. I've had the duck on two cruises. this past time on the Majesty it was a bit overdone. We found the grilled NY strip steak better than the black angus top sirloin We were very disappointed with desserts (my favorites usually) with the exception of the baked alaska - excellent. LOVED the sourdough rolls!!! Especially dipped into the leftover butter from the escargot yum yum The first night we ordered a bottle of wine and she held it for us til the second night. That was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtwisconsin Posted April 11, 2007 #4 Share Posted April 11, 2007 We thought the Escargot and the baked alaska were very good as well. I enjoyed both the NY strip and the Angus top sirloin. A great piece of advice we received from friends who have cruised many times is to try something you wouldn't normally order. My 10-year old son tried salmon for the first time, and didn't really like it. Our waiter gladly brought him another dish instead. And by all means order two appetizers if you wish.

I saw your post and I couldn't help myself, where did you get a copy of the menus? I'd love to see them before I go! From two very thoughtful cruise critic members! Angiegal3 scanned them in I believe and Grandeur emailed them to me...if you pm me with your email address I'd be happy to pass it on... Also, I saw some Freedom of the Seas menus here, and it looks like the menus for "Dinner is Served", "Captain's Gala", "Venetian Feast" and "Feast of Nations" are the exact same as the menus for the 4 night Majesty.

babygirll22 Posted April 11, 2007 Author #6 Share Posted April 11, 2007 And by all means order two appetizers if you wish. Yeah...um...what do you do when 4 of 'em look good to you ? I'm not that bold! Probably I'll have my cousin do two and I'll do two and we'll have our own tasting session! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also heard wonderful things about the strawberry soup, did you try it? That's sad about the desserts...my cuz is a dessert fiend, she'll be very disappointed...i heard rumors about a midnight dessert buffet though???

cb at sea Posted April 11, 2007 #8 Share Posted April 11, 2007 If you can't make up your mind, order 2 things! They don't mind! Unfortunately, on our last cruise, the desserts weren't as "special" as they had been in the past--a few nights, I never ordered any! But, I have been known to eat several in one sitting--all brought to me by my ever-attendant waiter--without asking!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wineguy68 Posted April 11, 2007 #12 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hey gang, Heading out on the Majesty shortly. As a classically trained chef and devoted foodie/cork dork, I appreciate the info. I'll take some notes and update your already useful information. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MammaCass Posted April 11, 2007 #13 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Didn't have time to compare the menus for the 4 day to the 7 day but will share some thoughts: -Truffled Wild Mushroom Linguine Alfredo was excellent (my husband is Italian and a wonderful cook...he raved about it) -I'm not fond of Scallops so asked if they could put shrimp on the scallop risotto (was an appetizer that I asked to have as my entree)...was very good -I also had them put the Grilled chicken breast (one of the nightly options and very good) on the Risotto primavera and it was wonderful (yes, I am a risotto fanatic) -I thought the mahi mahi was too fishy -The Shrimp Ravioli was excellent -Really enjoyed the herb crusted atlantic cod -Agree that the escargot were outstanding as is the vidalia onion tart and the mushroom in puff pastry -Favorite desserts include key lime pie, creme brulee and the grand marnier souffle Getting very hungry!!! Enjoy and don't be afraid to ask for 2 appetizers, 2 entrees or 2 desserts. Often we would order extras to share with the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they serve that type of duck anymore but it was my first time having duck and I thought it was fantastic. Plus, who could ever say no to STEAK! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommabean Posted April 13, 2007 #23 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I always like the duck. They do a surprisingly good job with it. The skin isn't quit as crispy as I'd like it but I like it nearly burnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
