Luckysll Posted February 2, 2009 #26 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Definitely the stuffed mushroom appetizers. I never order two because I want to leave room for the main course and then always get mad because they were so good I should have ordered two :D. Love the prime rib and the lamb. Tried the cheese plate last time after dinner instead of a sweet dessert and it was very nice. I like to order things I would never order going to a restaurant at home.

jpg1747 Posted February 2, 2009 #27 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Some have already said the baby back ribs. My daughter ordered these on the last night and everybody at the table wished they had ordered them. She said it was the best offering of the entire week. She was laughing because every time she reached for a bone, the meat just fell off and she just had a bare bone in her hand. It came with fries and cole slaw. This is not something I would order on a cruise because almost every restaurant at home has ribs, but I will get them the next time. On my first Carnival 7 night cruise, I only saw the baby back ribs once on the dinner menu - the first night. I never saw them again at lunch or dinner. Can they be ordered "off the menu" on another night? They conflict with the sweet & sour shrimp the first night, which I love, but there's no way I can have both in one sitting.

skay Posted February 2, 2009 Author #28 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Yes. My husband likes their fish dishes a lot. What I have had off the Spa menu has been quite good, though I don't remember the specifics off hand.THAT memorable, huh? LOL. J/K. Thanks for your reply.

Is lobster the other thing that's only served once, while the steaks are served every night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiagolfer Posted February 2, 2009 #30 Share Posted February 2, 2009 So there are some things that are only on the menu one time, like the ribs, and others that are available every night? Is lobster the other thing that's only served once, while the steaks are served every night? Yes lobster is served only once, usually the 1st elegant night, and I have always seen steak of some type each night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessedwith12 Posted February 2, 2009 #31 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Does anyone know if they serve Lobster on the 5 day Holiday cruises out of Mobile? Thanks. Oh, by the way.

cruisecastle Posted February 2, 2009 #34 Share Posted February 2, 2009 We've pretty much been through the dining room dress code ins/outs, do's/donts, etc. Now, how about listing your favorites from the main dining room menu. :) Gazpacho soup Lobster Bisque All the lamb dishes Lobster Oysters Rockefeller chocolate melting cake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeinSA Posted February 2, 2009 #35 Share Posted February 2, 2009 jpg1747 We were on the Valor a couple of years ago and they had baby backs for lunch one day - I can't remember which day and they were just as good as the ones in the evening. If the Conquest has them for lunch one day in April I'll let you know what day it's going to be served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunyababy Posted February 2, 2009 #36 Share Posted February 2, 2009 The French Toast or Eggs Benedict for breakfast...HANDS DOWN! Dinner, we love the sweet and sour shrimp of course, and like many others I always try the chilled soups because I would more than likely not make that at home and very few restaurants that I go to serve it!

If I'm not mistaken (and this shows I have been on too many CCL cruises), the ribs are at lunch the 1st sea day on a 7 day cruise. Wow....I need to change lines. I have memorized the menus. blah.

buckirj1 Posted February 2, 2009 #39 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I always look forward to the pumpkin soup. Also, the steaks and salmon on the alternate menu are simply prepared and always very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeBrew Posted February 2, 2009 #42 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Prime Rib - 2 of them Lobster (3)- as well as a Steak or 2 on the same night . Needless to say I am not good for anything the rest of the night an into the morning . The Tiger Shrimp cocktails were very , very good , and large on the Sensation last Sept. The same can not be said of the size on the Liberty the past 2 years , they were more like salad shrimp size . And I love the omelettes (made to order) for breakfast, well done .

calicruise74 Posted February 3, 2009 #45 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Skay-My teen daughter had a salmon dish from the Spa menu...excellent! Large piece of salmon and broiled with a citrus sauce. Off of the "bad" menu- French Onion Soup Fried Shrimp App Stuffed Mushrooms Lobster! Choc Melting Cake Apple,Caramel tart..the sauce was the best part! Buttery and gooey caramel.

Grits53 Posted February 3, 2009 #46 Share Posted February 3, 2009 For lunch in the dining room, my favorite is Chicken Parmigiana. It's so tender and perfectly seasoned! I don't always see it offered, but a few times, I have had Veal Parmigiana for dinner. It is superb! I enjoy the lobster, too. Tasty desserts abound on any cruise, but my personal favorite is the strawberry cheesecake served at the coffee shop. Add a caramel latte to that, and I'm in heaven! :D And as others have said, anything served in the Supper Club is fabulous! Especially the prime rib chop. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolaAlive Posted February 3, 2009 #48 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Lobster is typically only one night per cruise, of any duration on Carnival. You may well see lobster bisque offered later. I pretty much like it all.. Here are some menus and food pics from last summer. As of early December, the menus had not changed other than a caveat that after dinner drinks may not be free - as in the ones with alcohol: Menus-8 day Menus-3 day Menus-12 day Food Porn 8 Day Food Porn 3 Day Food Porn 12 Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be a professional photographer! I didn't look through every album (yet), but in the ones I did, I noticed several menu items that I had wondered about but never ordered. Now, I know what to order when I'm not sure what it is! Thanks! Can't wait till my next cruise (March 22), when I can order some of the foods in your photos. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
