Food Concerns /Lots of fish courses!

[Deb24370]

Having looked at a few sample menu's fro a few years ago it seems that FOS /RCI tend to serve a lot of Fish/Seafood dishes.

 

I'm not a big lover of Fish and on recent Princess cruises I have found that the menus have much more variety.

Yes I could just go to the buffet but we are are travelling as a group of 8 and are booked for dining in MDR.

 

I understand that they have broiled chicken and Angus Steak everyday but does not seem to be an awful lot of variety other the fish on main menu.

Has anyone got a recent sample menu that states otherwise??

Any feedback would be appreciated

Like you I do not particularly care for fish, but I found the variety was very good. My last cruise was 14 nights and I only resorted to the always available steak once. It was actually pretty good!

I am allergic to sea food yet have had no problems at all with the variety of food available on the ships. :)

I love fish! I can't eat shell fish & choose not to eat poultry, beef, & pork. So I am happy to hear about fish options. Thanks for the actual menus too.

I love fish, but DH does not. He always found at least one entree, sometimes two or three, that would make him happy.

There is something for everyone on the menus. Try the Mojo Pork Chop night one, the one I had was absolutely delicious. Though I did swap out my sweet potato for a baked potato.

We Don't eat fish and never had a problem with the menu. In fact have never ordered a steak off the main menu as there seems to always be something non fish to try. In fact, DH cannot stand fishy smell so if there is a lobster night, we make alternate dining reservations. So best wishes to you for a good cruise and fine eating.

I do not like fish either. Sometimes I would order my salad and soup and some sides and of course deserts. One night I ordered 2 appetizers for my meal. The servers will bring it when you want it so you can have it at the entree time. I always found something...

aaagggghhh!

I should never have opened the menu link! I'M SO HUNGRY! And having anxiety over what to choose, since it all sounds so danged good!

I have to wait until MAY!

We do not order fish either. There are always lots of good things to order on the menu. The baked chicken breast that is available every night is very good. [i think the steak is tough] We order it at least once just becuase we like it.

Living on an island and normally eating fresh caught fish, I never order fish dinners on a cruise. Until it was pointed out here on CC, I didn't even notice the new menus were heavy on fish dinners. I always find a dish I like, and without having to order from the every day options.

 

I like the lamb dinners...both the shank and the chops. I also like the filet of beef and prime rib.

Check out the children's menu. My DH loves the Macaroni and Cheese. You can also get chips and guacamole and, for dessert, a great banana split. :)

We leave in a week on Freedom. Last January they had the Chops Filet you could order for a fee in the dining room. I didn't see it on the menu. It was a great option and a wonderful steak. I hope you can still get it.

We're not big fish eaters either and it seems like most menus have at least two fish courses, a chicken (or other poultry) , a beef or pork and a vegetarian option, besides the 'always available' choices.

 

Even I, who also doesn't eat chicken, lamb or veal, can usually find something to eat--even though I'm not vegetarian, some of those meals are great. I know I'm picky about meat, so I blame no one but myself! Two fish options always seems like overkill to me, however.

 

If something is not strictly to my liking, after I ordered it, there is plenty of other food!

You can go the entire cruise and never eat seafood! Surprisingly, seafood is not a big thing on ships!

 

There will be PLENTY of other options for you!

Here is a link with pictures of the new menu from the Allure when they first began. Some nights have more fish options than the other.
