2.0 Menus For "Regular Restuarants" On The Sky?

[eddeb]

Hello folks,

Goin' on the Sky soon and wanted to know if anyone

has the menus for the Restaurants not charging extra.

We will probably do Cagneys but would really like to

see what the others are offering...

Does anyone know when the special dinner nights

are? ie: Steak and Lobby, etc....

So glad we don't have to bring our own port a potty

and box fans... LOL

Glad to hear so many good reviews...

we can't wait.

Also, any good Hotels near South Beach?

Where to park. etc?

Thanks.

I'd rather be a Cruzin' than a workin'

 

May your Seas Be flat,

And Your Tummies be fat... :)

We will be on the Sky 8/25 and have wondered the same thing. What menus do they offer on the 4-night cruise? If we knew in advance, it would make planning for a specialty restaurant easier.

 

I have read that the 2nd night is the optional formal night and the night they serve lobster. We'll definitely stay in the dining room that night, but aren't planning to dress up.

What is 2.0? I am going on the Jewel for New Years.

We're just off the Jewel Baltic sailing. 2.0 was an improvement, but we saw little change in the main dining rooms and ate most of our meals in the "extra pay" restaurants. The lobster addition in the main dining rooms was nothing to rave about - overcooked and dried out. We paid the extra to get really good meals.
