haha steerage class -does that get you a cabin:D -I think that's how my family came accross the pond. Guess it wouldnt hurt to ask - You never know, you just might have a waiter who allows it:)

[tweety33]

Thank you for the time it took you to post the menus, I was excited to see them, I'm sure they will be basically the same when we go in March.

Yes, all the Mediterranea caribbean sailings should have the same menu.

[G.M.T.]

On the Europa NO cabins. You get a seat and an oar, the suite passengers have it better, they beat the drum. :(

[InAShoeBox]

thanks so much for taking the time to post this, made me start salivating just reading it! :)

[velvetred]

Thanks to the OP for the menu posting. Does anyone know if the same menus are used on the Western route?

[velvetred]

Does anyone know if the menus are the same for the Western route of the Med? Thanks.

[njs]

I think the menus are the same fleetwide for Caribbean sailings and for sure the same ship will have the same menus (same chef and staff for the season) There might be a slight variation with the Christmas dinner maybe b/c it was a holiday cruise

[racingraysswimmom]

If anyone can please post Day 1 Dinner and Day 4 Dinner ( not Christmas dinner) for the Mediterranea, it would be very much appreciated.

 

Also looking for breakfast menu.

Do you mean room service brfst menu for suites(dining room menu) or for regular rooms

[abitaturbodog]

I started another thread with the menu for Day 1 and the regular menu for Day 4.

 

Sorry, I don't have any menus for breakfast, but I do have one for lunch in the dining room. I guess I'll post it on the new thread too.

[racingraysswimmom]

NJS, I meant regular rooms not the suites for the breakfast menu's. Thanks to all who contributed to these threads. We appreciate all your time.
