Tananda Posted June 13, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Everyone here is so helpful! I am trying to decide which nights to book specialty restaurants on our NA cruise. Is there Anywhere in particular you would suggest I look for MDR menus? DH is a picky eater so want to book when there isn't so much he likes in the menu. Thanks in advance!

Tananda Posted June 13, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Thanks, Boatdrill. I didn't knpw aboit this site, but this shows the menus in no particular order. They are also from 2014. I was hoping to see in order. I had found a listing beforw out Caribbean cruise, but I assumed it would be different in Alaska.

TheCalicoCat Posted June 13, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 13, 2017 My mother in law is also very picky & from what we've experienced, with the exception of vegan fare, the cruise lines (we've been on a few) are very accommodating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlnprt Posted June 19, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thanks for posting this! Are the menus pretty much the same from each ship? We are doing a 14-day cruise ... do you know if the menus repeat for the second week? Sure looks like plenty of options!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Crew News Posted June 19, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thanks for posting this! Are the menus pretty much the same from each ship? We are doing a 14-day cruise ... do you know if the menus repeat for the second week? Sure looks like plenty of options!!! I did not ask but I assume the 14-day menus work much as the HAL Caribbean menus that have a few variations each day in the MDR for the second week. The menus are marked "A" which means there is also a "B" series just as in the Caribbean. When I compared my Caribbean menus for the second week, I noted only changes in the pasta type and how the same protein was prepared. My website also has all of the Specialty Restaurant menus. I really liked the Canaletto but as a solo, I didn't want to order more than one appetizer. Two guests or more can order more and share. The Suppe de Pesci was fabulous. My cruise also include three days in Denali if you have any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelltherunner Posted June 19, 2017 #14 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thank you so much for posting the menus. We are trying to decide when we want to go to the Tamarind and PG on our upcoming cruise. We haven't gone on a cruise in four years. I am also vey excited to see guava juice is still offered in the morning! It is one of my favorite parts of the cruise.

annalisa0 Posted June 19, 2017 #15 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thank you! When the menu says "no sugar added" does that mean it has an artificial sweetener? Do you know if they have gluten free options available for sandwiches? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Crew News Posted June 19, 2017 #16 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thank you! When the menu says "no sugar added" does that mean it has an artificial sweetener? Do you know if they have gluten free options available for sandwiches?thank you The "no sugar added" term is hard to pin down. I really like the HAL "so sugar added" chocolate mousse cake. It is not very sweet but I don't think it is sugar free. That is the best I can offer for your first question. There are signs that gluten-free bread is available for sandwiches but I haven't seen anyone requesting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysfrantic Posted June 19, 2017 #17 Share Posted June 19, 2017 They offer GF pasta at their pasta bar station. Separate pans as a celiac patient would seek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen of Adventure Posted March 12, 2018 #19 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Thank you! When the menu says "no sugar added" does that mean it has an artificial sweetener? Do you know if they have gluten free options available for sandwiches?thank you As I understand the "technical" definitions, "no sugar added" has no extra sugar added in addition to what would be there naturally in the fruit and/or other whole foods that have natural sugars. There could also be artificial sweetners in a "no sugar added" food. Sugar free will definitely use alternative sweetners like stevia or erythritol and often times artificial sweetners as well.... but no ingredients with natural sugars in the mix. Hope this clarifies :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrill Posted March 13, 2018 #20 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Speaking of food on Alaska cruises, there was discussion awhile back about the evening outdoor deck BBQ being discontinued. Is there an update on this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Crew News Posted March 13, 2018 #23 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Speaking of food on Alaska cruises, there was discussion awhile back about the evening outdoor deck BBQ being discontinued. Is there an update on this ? All outdoor cooking on HAL has been terminated since temporary outdoor cooking cannot meet the food preparation requirements of a fixed kitchen. I think that serving food is OK just not cooking. Most HAL ships have a Taco Bar by their indoor pools but that is a fixed serving table with temp control and sneeze guards.
