Menus???

[Mr. Baloo]

After reading the favorite foods thread, are the menus the same for most ships from most ports? This is our first time cruising RCL and would like to plan out chops and not miss a good meal in the MDR.

 

could you also post a link to the menus... have not been able to find them.

 

Thanks!!!

Thanks Albert.

I must say it dosen't inspire me, apart from the Italian Night.

And the British night, I'm 56 and never even heard of some of the stuff they're serving never mind eaten it.
