Newest American Table Menus


PinaCarada
 Share

Recommended Posts

Below are the newest examples of the American Table/American Feast Menus.

 

These menus debuted on the Breeze in early February 2015. I've compiled them directly from John Heald's posts and edited them slightly to make for easier, more organized viewing. I arranged them in the best chronological order that I could, based on John's comments and the dates he posted each menu. I apologize in advance about some of the weird spacing – I copied directly from John’s posts, and I tried to space things out as coherently as I could. I started closing the spaces between capital letters in some of the dish headlines, but stopped because I decided I would rather poke my eyes out with a blunt object than continue.

 

Posts from earlier today (quoting a Q&A session with Arnold Donald, CEO) state that the menu will be rolled out fleet-wide before the end of the year.

 

Without further ado:

Thanks for posting. I look forward to trying the new menus one day. While I had a few favorites, I did get tired of the old menus. Just to eat something different is one of the reasons we are trying Royal Caribbean instead this year.

Outstanding!! I am very excited about the new menus. Every night has some new item I can't wait to order.

 

Really excited to see some of those items listed and wasn't expecting it! I could eat Beef Carpaccio every night, excited to see it on the menu!

 

We leave on the Breeze on the 14th (OMG 10 days!!!!) and I will report back on what I think.

:0 No Escargot!!

*Edit* I looked up Escargot in my browser searcher (Ctrl. + 4) and it didn't find it, which is why I posted that. But searching over it again, I found it spaced apart. I am happy now.

Thanks for posting! We enjoyed these menus on the Liberty last year, and for the life of me, I can't understand why some people are upset over them. Most of the old favorites are still available.

I know they will be rolling out the new menus to all ships, but do we know for a fact that the menus John posted for the Breeze are the exact same menus that will be rolled out? Just curious. I know he posted these each day, has anyone confirmed that these are the final menus that will be rolled out?

We had these menus on Liberty in September and loved them. I wish these menus were available now on all ships. As another poster mentioned, I don't understand why people don't like these. The new menus are so much better than the old ones.

Thanks for sharing these! If I could change one thing about my Pride cruise (2/22/15), it would have been to be able to try the new menus.

 

Also, at one point, I thought they were serving certain appetizers “for the table” style, but then they went back to just serving everything individually. Can anyone clarify on that?
