thecruiserofships Posted January 4, 2014 Author #76 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Does anyone know if there are still sugar free deserts. We will be on the Liberty in a couple of weeks. My husband is diabetic and always looks forward to the deserts more than the main course. I am not completely sure about the answer to this question, but I am sure they will probably have sugar free desserts still offered. On the first day of your cruise you could go see someone in the dining room and find out about this or maybe request a sugar free dessert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinpsychRN Posted January 4, 2014 #77 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Do you know if it is true that the buffet has a few of the same items as the mdr? It's similar but not exact. On a recent cruise the MDR served the lamb and it was the worst cut ever. The buffet had a man carving a beautiful leg of lamb that was spectacular! The presentation is a bit off putting to me, seeing those tubs filled with pieces of fish or vegetables but what you get in the MDR is the same. I've never seen lobster on the buffet.

thecruiserofships Posted February 2, 2014 Author #82 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yes, the drink stations and the choice of soft-serve ice cream AND frozen yogurt on the Elation Lido Buffet was miles ahead of anything on RCI and Princess. Buffet a great place to escape stifling formal nights and those silly waiter parades in MDR and the singing of O Solo Mio with guests waiving their napkins....;-) Nice to hear!

ccruisequeen Posted February 2, 2014 #83 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Will be on the Dream in a month so I will get to try all my faves 1 last time :p Then whenever our next Carnival cruise is, I look forward to trying the new menus! I will miss: strawberry bisque, stuffed mushrooms (though it appears that the new menus have something comparable) Lasagna bolognese Bitter and blanc, raspberry-chocolate cake, creme brulee Everything you said!

Jenna1983 Posted February 2, 2014 #84 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'm afraid of what the new menus will have and if it's going to be a pain to figure out with my weird allergies to foods. Ugh. I knew what I could eat and what I couldn't eat consistently for the last like nine years. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmacani Posted February 2, 2014 #85 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I don't see a a regular garden salad on the menu. I've asked john heald but haven't heard back yet. I need just a plain salad for my meal. I've even told my hubby that if I have to I will order from room service and take it with me to dinner, LOL.

Happy Canadian Posted February 2, 2014 #86 Share Posted February 2, 2014 http://zydecocruiser.net/menus/aNew/index.htm link to Western and Eastern cruise on the Glory. I suspect most menus will be the same as the new menus are rolled out. The only difference might be the Port of Call section. I understand there is a water carafe left on the table as well as a basket of bread. Hoping I can still order the cheese plate. Sailing on the Liberty in a couple of weeks and will find out then.

There is a basket of bread on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin 4 Ever Posted February 2, 2014 #90 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Is there still plain regular bread available? Yes, there is a basket of warm white bread on the table each night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin 4 Ever Posted February 2, 2014 #91 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'm hoping that the food quality is the same, and that they're are just switching up the menu? I actually thought the food was the best we've had on any cruise so far. However, there are fewer options, especially with the appetizers and desserts. Most nights I did not find a dessert to order as they only give you 2-3 options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pom Lover Posted February 3, 2014 #93 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Does anyone know if there are still sugar free deserts. We will be on the Liberty in a couple of weeks. My husband is diabetic and always looks forward to the deserts more than the main course. We sailed on the Glory in December for the first week of the new menus. My mother-in-law is diabetic. The sugar free choices are not listed on the menu but she asked and they brought her out something every night that was sugar free. just ask your server.

Jenna1983 Posted February 3, 2014 #94 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I looked at the new menus and if they switch before November on Splendor, I'm in big trouble. So many options are fish (allergic) or have a tomato/tomato paste/sauce base in it (allergic). I don't eat beef either. So I'll be stuck with their awful grilled chicken. And sadly, will make me look at other cruiselines. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
