Escargot Report

Freedom OTS

No

 

Listed on menu every night however, advised not available for about 2 months.

Replaced with the small bay scallops.

Just not the same.

Escargot on the menu all 7 nights

 

Scallops also on the menu (and the escargot, both listed--not just a waiter suggestion) on the formal nights.

Ditto :)

 

Although I did notice the small print on the menu under the Escargot starter saying "may be temporarily unavailable due to availability". One of our table mates ordered it on the first night and when it was served all he could see was a pool of garlicky buttery sauce. I guess the little critters were temporarily unavailable on his plate :D

lol

 

I think Dave had it every night but one. Maybe he out the ship out of it.

 

If it IS a Med thing, I think it is only fair--since we don't get lobster ;)

On Explorer, escargot is NOT on the menu, however, my tablemates asked

 

on the first night and was served. They asked our waiter if they could

 

have it every night and he said yes. They even had it on lobster night.

Brilliance of the Seas - Sept 29, 2013 sailing

 

Escargot was most definitely served. Just about every night someone at my table ate them , including me :).

[cujosmom]

Escargot was on the menu on the:

 

Disney Magic - March 1-9

Carnival Magic - Sept 1 - 8

 

We don't order or eat escargot though. When we lived in Houston, we were always picking them off the side of our house. :eek:

Allure OTS

No Escargot. They had bay scallops prepared the same way. Just not the same.

[VillaHappy]

Adventure on Feb. 10, '13: none available, except on Valentine's day.

 

 

 

Here is where it gets strange. We were on the Adventure's Feb 10th sailing and DID have them the first few nights. Then we were told that they were out. I'm pretty sure this was before Valentine's on the 14th!!

Enchantment

September 20-23

Not only was escargot not available, it wasn't even on the menu anymore! They've changed the menus to say "bay scallop gratin".

 

Bummer. I was hoping for some next month. The bay scallop dish is a poor substitute IMO.

 

EDIT: Escargots were available on Carnival Fascination last week. But CCL's version is nowhere near as good as RCI's.

Great thread. We are on EN on Oct. 28 so I will post whether we have them. Good idea to ask the waiter.

 

I have had the bay scallops prepared like the Escargot but I didn't think they were that great although of course, the garlic butter was great.

Independence of The Seas

No Escargot. Menu was also changed and did not mention Escargot.

 

Bay Scallop Gratin or Scallop and Crab Meat Gratin. One or the other was offered every night of the cruise.

Oasis

10/5/13

 

Not on the menu even though the waiter told us on day one they would be on the menu for lobster night. When we got the menu that night and did not find them we simply asked and he said no problem and brought them to us.

Explorer 10/6

 

None on Menu, None Available

[dreadpirate3]

Available on Enchantment all three nights during the October 25th sailing.

[Zigggypup]

For recent sailings and forward, lets keep a running list of escargot availibility. Maybe we can figure out some trends!

 

If interested in sharing:

-Post your ship

-sail date

-yes or no for availibility of escargot

 

Sailed on the Explorer which departed on 10/29/13 and I did have Escargot.

Allure - Oct 20th Sailing - No Escargot.

[thisislou]

Was on Oasis 10/19 - 10/26 only had them on second formal night. Otherwise, using the same plate was a mixture of salmon and something - not very good

[rcrdale]

Allure - Oct 20th Sailing - No Escargot.

 

As I will be on the Allure in a few weeks, did you specifically ask for it or it just wasn't on the menu? I have heard you need to ask your waiter for it.

[jagsfan]

On Oasis Oct 5 I asked and the waiter said second formal night. I don 't remember if it was on the menu, thought. I was the normal serving on the escargot dish with lots of buttery garlic for dipping bread in. Good Luck!!!

Explorer of the Seas - Departing Bayonne 10/20/13 - No escargot.

 

I checked the menus each night and no escargot. I will say that I did get the Bay Scallops Au Gratin (which is the same appetizers served with tiny scallops instead of the escargot) and it was delicious! Dare I say that I didn't miss the escargot and enjoyed the appetizer.

We sailed on Serenade 9/28-10/10 and escargot were available every night.

[SnappyNappi]

Sailed on the Explorer which departed on 10/29/13 and I did have Escargot.

Explorer was at-sea on 10/29 - left Bayonne on 10/27... do you mean 10/27? Not nit-picking, just want to clarify and make sure. I was on 10/20 sailing and we did NOT have escargot.

Every night on the Adventure......yummy
