Here are the menus that John posted on his blog.

Bon Appetite!

 

 

Thanks for posting! I think John Heald's blog is currently overloaded because I cant seem to get onto it :)

[Cruise, J.D.]

Thanks! I don't see any reason to get too upset about the changes.

[makeda]

i will have to book another cruise to get to try this menu!!!

[gail811]

Thanks for posting! I like the changes.

[swimmom32]

there are 8 different menu's they all seem fine :) not a big deal

[High Seas Texan]

YUM! I always remember my travels by what I had to eat. These menus look wonderful.

[oldschoolpinball]

as someone who just cruised on the splendor let me say that the shark firecracker roll was sooooo good

[westview1]

Thanks for posting! I have been trying to look at the menus but it's loading slowly. I think we have overloaded the servers.

 

I can't wait to try some of these choices. :D

[carncruiser1964]

A bit confused. I didn't see Pumpkin soup or French Onion soup, both of which were delish! will be very upset if they took those off. I wasn't too impressed with the new selections. Would have been happier to keep it the way it was. IMO ;)

[njmomof2]

I was a bit perturbed when I saw that the menus had been redone but I have to say that this new menu does offer some interesting options to try. I love escargot, so I'm always happy to have it on a menu. I don't eat shrimp cocktail so not having it on the menu daily (if that's true) is not a big deal for me.

 

I don't eat a lot of carbs, so I'm always looking for options that eliminate the potatoes, rice and breads. It appears that there are some options that I can try when we sail Glory later this month.

 

Thanks for posting.

Both of those are there. I don't think the OP posted all of the menus, but they are both there.

I agree about the pumpkin soup - a favorite of mine since my first Carnival cruise.

 

But I gotta say, I don't see many changes here - a great many dishes on these "new" menus have been Carnival mainstays for years.

 

No problem, as I've always enjoyed Carnival's food, but calling these "new" menus is a stretch.

[critcatny]

I like the new menu...might have lost shrimp every night or another dish or 2 that was good, but the new stuff looks interesting plus the other choices are just fine, no different from before. Seems you'll have 10 choices every night plus the *1* comfort food choice. Sounds fine to me.

I, for one, am looking forward to trying some of the "didja" choices like shark firecracker roll or alligator fritters and more.

Havent seen the dessert menu yet, wonder if that is changing as well.

I dont see why people feel they have to have the same of any food every night, just enjoy it when they do and find something else that looks good the other times. Just my opinion.....

[MissKIA]

[Cigar Dude]

Are there still going to be lobster and prime rib nights?

 

I'll sure miss those if they're discontinued! :eek:

[bonniemari]

Thanks GoingwiththeFlow for posting this. I was wondering where to find them.

 

I like the new menu.

 

I hate it for the people who like to have the shrimp cocktail everynight, but I am in the "I can make shrimp cocktail easily enough at home" camp. Looking forward to the Oyster Rockafellar. The one time I tried that at home it didn't turn out to well:). Fried chicken is another thing I don't do well. Not a fan of the buffet but I try to have a couple of peices when they do have it on the buffet, but I do miss the mashed potatoes w/brie that used to go with it. Hopefully, with all the uproar removing the shrimp has caused the "ones in charge" will rethink their decision.

[COJO1956]

I think the menu looks good - but my first cruise is not till Oct, so I never tried the old menu:D Hopefully, some of you can get some pics of some of these dishes so we can see.

[MikeM]

I believe that the Gourmet Burger is only served on Elegant Night.

Thanks MissKia! I know I missed that one. I had trouble downloading it for some reason and the servers were so overloaded I couldn't get back on.
