I hope EnchantmentOS has this same menu on our 9 nt. cruise!!!:)

[grod19]

on explorer in january the lamb and pork were excellent, but the do not miss meal was the buttermilk chicken. It was amazing. I have had it on many cruises and everytime I can't wait to have it.

[marci22]

There are so many choices on this menu and I don't want to overlook something that is an outstanding choice! So can anyone tell me the "not to miss" items from the menu?

 

I went through the menu and picked out the tried&trues that my family orders. Some of the new things on the menu that look good I did not add because I have not tried them.

 

I always liked the Indian on Explorer, which they also serve during lunch.

 

The sugar-free desserts are suprisingly good so try them.

 

Always ask your waiter for advice: he knows what people like and what gets sent back often.

 

On the nights that my kids didn't like the entrees, they usually ordered the alternative steak or you can get chicken fingers from the kids' menu.

[galavant3]

I think they do those items that require long cooking best. I recommend...

 

Lamb Shank with Rosemary Slowly braised, with garlic mashed potatoes and oven-roasted vegetables

 

It is difficult to properly cook fish under the circumstances but all things considered it is usually fine. I've never gotten chicken and rarely get beef so others can speak to those entrees.

 

There are several appetizers that I enjoy...

 

Vidalia Onion Tart Sweet onions and Gruyère cheese baked in pastry, with red pepper coulis

Orange Carpaccio Orange slices, red onion, watercress, feta cheese, and cumin mint yogurt

Antipasti Cured Italian ham, seasonal melon, grilled vegetables, marinated portabella mushrooms, and baked caramelized garlic

Scallop Risotto Sautéed sea scallops over charred sweet corn and mascarpone risotto

Fired Roasted Red Pepper Hummus With roasted marinated zucchini and toasted pita

 

Desserts are usually pretty good. I like the BBB Creme Brulee and the souffle. People even say the sugar free desserts are fine.

[galavant3]

One additional thought. ALWAYS ask your waiter for a recommendation. They know what people are enjoying and what people are not eating/sending back.

OK..see above. at least one menu seems to be totally different, but i can't remember exacatly. there is no baked alaska anymore....and i don't remember any of the other stuff (unless i made a note by it!)

 

the alternate grilled chicken and steak are also good if there's something you don't like. and the chops filet, while it's an additional cost, is well worth the $14.95 as it is a big filet and very tender and tasty. my mom and i split it...she doesn't eat much, and it would be too much for even a meat-a-tarian like me....they had no problem splitting it, although the split it, THEN cooked it which resulted in a bit of an overdone half and a perfectly done half....if i order it again, i will tell them to just let me cut it!

 

HTH.......
