candiac Posted November 5, 2013 #102 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Escargots was on the menu but first night I ordered then I was presented with stone cold garlic butter and ate only the little escargots, second night asked for them gain but asked waiter to bring them only if heated, no problem enjoyed. We were on Serenade on September 4, 2013 for 12 nights and had escargots many times. Menu and food much better on Serenade, even though I had understood same menu. For example, offered on the evening menu, was roast beef and yorkshire pudding at least three times out of eight nights, and cod dish another three nights. Not much variety here. Seems to me more variety on Serenade, although similar home cooking style menus. On Adventure dishes were often warm at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsdiznee Posted November 7, 2013 #103 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Freedom of the Seas 10/27 cruise- no escargots but were offered scallop substitute prepared same way. My DH ordered the scallopcargots, as he and waiter called it, almost every night. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwhite_07017 Posted November 11, 2013 #104 Share Posted November 11, 2013 It's the sauce. With all the butter and garlic those escargot may well be erasers for all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoamingRetirees Posted November 11, 2013 #106 Share Posted November 11, 2013 It's the sauce. With all the butter and garlic those escargot may well be erasers for all I know. I thought that too, but we didn't like the scallops or mushrooms (on Celebrity) nearly as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriZ366 Posted November 11, 2013 #107 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I thought that too, but we didn't like the scallops or mushrooms (on Celebrity) nearly as much.Had the scallop substitute twice -- they were fishy so I will only order if there are real escargot. The garlic butter sauce is good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagsalong Posted November 11, 2013 #108 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Just off Freedom. I asked our head waiter the first night if they had escargot and was told they were none on the ship. Then on the second formal night, our head waiter came to our table and said he had a special treat for us. He told us the head chef went out on St Martin and got Escargot and then brought us two plates. DW doesn't like them so I got double the pleasure. Other tables were also served. Not sure if the HW's story was true or made-up but we did get Escargot on the Freedom last week. Hopefully they did not make the yellow scarfs get on their hands and knees and scurry through the grass/weeds to get these delectable delights. Now back to the Donuts issue. I reported several weeks ago that the icing donuts were being phased out on all ships as an another cost cutting measure. Some posters were in complete denial of this fact! Well Freedom does not have a single chocolate or white icing donut on-board as of last week. Not that I will miss them but DW is more upset about this than the Escargot dilemma.

jebl Posted November 15, 2013 #109 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Just off the Liberty 11/9-11/14. Escargot on the menu all but one night. Had them 3 times and they were delicious. While the scallops were good there is nothing like the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiessa Posted November 21, 2013 #118 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I love escargot! I don't care for scallops. I wonder why they don't substitute mushrooms. That sounds good to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity no longer has escargot on the menu. Instead they have the mushroom dish available every evening. They are good, but still not the same.

I was also bummed about the escargot. They didn't have them in February on the Jewel either. DD had the scallops almost every night on Allure but they are fishy to me! I'm hoping for some in February on Indy! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanwel Posted November 22, 2013 #121 Share Posted November 22, 2013 This may sound too simple, but I do not get why if they are on a ship, people get to have them everynight. Seems to me if they shared the bounty around, they could have it once on a sailing for all ships - maybe formal night or whatever, but limit the numbers on a ship so we all get a share!!! That is those of us that love butter dripping down our chin!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinwithmaandpa Posted November 24, 2013 #123 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I agree with you - seems the escargot is on the smaller ships and every night - I just want one serving during my 7 day cruise Just off the Majesty 11/11 sailing, no escargot, they said they haven't had any for 10 months. The Indy sailing on 11/15 had escargot every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
