Food on B2B cruises

From people who have done this before, do the menus in the main dining room repeat for the second leg of the cruise or are the offerings different?

exactly the same...

There's some good in that they repeat: If you really liked something you can have it again. If you had trouble deciding you get to try a different dish from the same menu. Our b2bs had different length legs so there were a few variations. m--

For the Caribbean cruises that have a different itinerary the second week, the MDR menus change slightly so that numerous B@B passengers (445 on the NA in Dec) do not have the same meals.

Eastern Caribbean menus (first week Dec 2014):

Western Caribbean menus (second week Dec 2014):

For Alaska itineraries that are the same each week and few B2B (4 in Alaska 2014) passengers, the menus are identical.

If they are truly back to back cruises, that is, they are not a Collectors' Cruise, or linked in some fashion, the menus may very well be the same. They will be different if that is normal on that route.

But if it's deemed a Collectors' Cruise, then the menus will be different. The same foods will appear, but never in the same combination on any given menu as a whole.

What's a collector cruise? We sail this weekend on the Eurodam, 7 days east and then 7 days west Caribbean. Is that a collector cruise?

What itinerary are you looking at? We did a Western Caribbean, 7 Day - followed by a week long Western Caribbean, and the menus varied. Look at the ones Roger Jett posted.

A Collector's Cruise is two short (7-10 day) cruises that can be booked as one long cruise. EM

Thank you everyone for your replies. I guess we are on a collector cruise where people get on and off mid-way. As someone stated, if the menu repeats, it's the opportunity to try something different from the first go or eat again one that you really liked. Cruisfan

If you have 1 booking number (confirmation number) -- then you are on a Collectors Cruise.

We have done quite a few 10 and 11 day cruises that were put together to form a 21 day Collector's Cruise.

Did a collector's 21-day cruise late Nov / early Dec and the menus were a bit different on each segment. There were the usual repeats, i.e. prime rib, surf and turf plus the items that are available every day but there were also new items on the menu each day.
