YES!! First nights menu, crunchy panko breading and a sweet & sour dipping sauce, yum:D

 

Just remembered another dinner favorite, the stuffed mushrooms, love "em!

[Herfnerd]

Fave - another short rib fan here

Dislike - CMC. I know everyone raves about it, but its too sweet, rich and (usually) soupy for my tastes......

[mister windu]

Worst breakfast--eggs benedict. I think they run them under a salamander and the sauce sets up too much.

Worst dinner--indian vegetarian meal. Tasted good, nice and spicy, but everything was pureed or otherwise mushy! Didn't expect that to bother me when I ordered it, but afterwards I felt like I'd eaten a plateful of well-seasoned babyfood.

 

Favorite thing--escargots! I am so disappointed they've removed them from the menu.

Just got back from my first cruise on the Imagination. I thought all of the food in the MDR seemed pretty bland and that feeling was stated by our tablemates as well. I would say all the dinner food was ok but none of it really stood out as excellent. My daughter got a turkey and pasta dish (sounds odd) but that was the best of the food that I tried. The worst, by far, was eggs benedict for breakfast and that was probably what I was looking forward to the most. Everyone at our table loved the warm chocolate melting cake and had it each night.

I'm not sure I have a least favorite entree, I liked everything I ordered. I will say (and please don't shoot me :p), I think their shrimp cocktail in the MDR is Godawful. Ordered it twice, once on the Glory, once on the Legend and both times, blech. Never again.

 

My absolute favorite thing, though, is the beef and noodle salad with peanut sauce appetizer. We're cruising the Pride in August and I plan on ordering about 4 of those suckers as my entree, it was that good.

[grozas]

As for the dried out eggs benedict, order the hollindais sauce on the side.

I have had the flat iron steak on 3 different cruises... on the Conquest it was OK.. the Dream.. Not good, and on the Triumph.. it was delicious.. they added a sauce to it, that made it really good.. even my DH commented how much better it was on the Triumph... That being said....

 

My Favorite... Flat Iron Steak (on the Triumph), Caesar Salad, and French Onion Soup

 

Least Favorite.. Only tried once and that was PLENTY.. chocolate melting cake.. I choose the orange sherbert or baked alaska in it's place.. :o)

[silvercrikhix]

Best: Turkey Farfelle Pasta and New York Strip

 

Worst: Zucchini, Squash Veggie Blend.......Ewwwwww

[miched]

Baked Alaska and Creme Brûlée. A lot of hype about nothing special.

Wish I had taken food pictures!

 

Best: the soups! I didn't have one that I didn't like!

 

Worst: cheesecake -- it was more like jello! What is up with that???

[lillian marie]

Really dislike the meatloaf and the fried chicken was unseasoned and bland.

We like the flat iron steak rare and just about everything else.

[mara93]

The only plate I've ever sent back - Rack of Lamb. It was overcooked :(

Also, not a fan of the WCMC.

 

Faves - Bitter & Blanc!

[FlaGrl4Evr]

Worst item ever ordered: The Corn Chowder. Tasted like a can of creamed corn poured right into the soup bowl. Ick....

The few times I tried the Flat Iron Steak, I found it to be tough as rawhide.

 

 

I always called it shoe leather - never could understand how anyone would think its worth eating. In fact one waiter on the Liberty even suggested I "not" order it. First time that ever happened to me.

 

Best food on Carnival? Their hamburgers are second to none IMHO. Eggs Benedict was good.

[Brad1185]

All the fried and comfort food items which is 95% of the menu

[All4fun&fun4all]

MDR Breakfast:

Favorite- Eggs Benedict w/sauce on the side and the salmon bagel thingy

Disliked- Chicken sausage. I really wanted to like it but...nope.

 

MDR Dinner:

Favorite- Lobster and shrimps and the Flat Iron Steak (medium rare)

Disliked- I didnt enjoy the Duck. It was my first time trying it and it was a bit gamey.

Its funny how every ship can vary so wildly. Here was my crucified burger & eggs Benedict on the Miracle, LOL

[wrigley80]

Least Favorite - the Meatloat......it is awful

 

Most Favorite - Grilled Chicken Fettucini or Flat Iron Steak.

Favorite Appetizer - Chicken Quesadilla........so good

[sailing_under_the_stars]

OH and of course I can't forget... gotta love the 24 hour ice cream/yogurt!! ;)

 

I know it's not MDR, but it sure is good!! :D

[Mumsykat]

Favorite entree - Rack of lamb - no, not served any more.

Least favorite - Lamb shanks. Tasted like stew meat.

 

Favorite appetizer - study in sushi

 

DH loved the flatiron steak.

 

Favorite dessert - WCMC and the caramelized apples with puff pastry

[cmjb4ever]

Breakfast:

Favorite - Corn Beef Hash with scrambled eggs

Least - Melon fruit. I love melon but on the ship it always seems horribly underripe.

 

Dinner:

Favorite - Cheddar Squash Bake. It's a vegetarian entree and it's delicious

Least - Lobster and shrimp. I generally love these but I'm always disappointed in Carnival's.

[annawanX2]

Faves - Chocolate melting cake, creme brulee, french onion soup, lobster & shrimp

 

Least faves - St. Louis Ribs (not near as good as the babyback ribs), cold soups

 

I tried the skirt steak a couple of times. It was pretty good - tastes alot like a sirloin. I was seated next to a guy that had it every night on a seven day cruise !!
