BIGADORF Posted September 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2018 We will be taking a 15 day Panama Cruise in March and want to find out what days if any we want to schedule Specialty Dining. Is there any way to see the entire MDR menu when we board to decide what days we want to book the Specialty restaurants? Thank you:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagletwo Posted September 1, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Not sure about your cruise, but we asked our room steward for a menu each evening. He was able to get them to our cabin by early morning each day. We were in a full suite on the CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted September 1, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 1, 2018 We've had good luck stopping at a specialty restaurant on embarkation day and they can at least tell you the name of the menu for each night in the MDR. They may actually be able to provide you with the details too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Receiving the MDR menus the night before has been a suite perk for years BUT we have found that it can be a real tug of war to get them the past few years.

JF - retired RRT Posted September 1, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Easiest...just ask your waiter or the head waiter on the first night. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the evenings the name is now "Princess Dinner" although the items on the menu change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the only remaining “named” dinners are the Welcome and Gala dinners which are typically on formal nights, the Chef’s dinner, and Italian night.

jlp20 Posted September 1, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Although it's been a decade since our last cruise, system was so simple I doubt it's changed. On first day go to MDR and politely ask to see that cruise's menus. A three ring binder with a page for every dinner is available. Odds are it's the same from the last cruise, but if there is a change they simply replace or rearange one or two pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our question was greeted with a sigh and a "best guess". No binder, no help. He seemed totally "put out" by the question. We had much better luck with our own waiter, but he still didn't know much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you have lunch in a main dining room on embarcation day, just ask one of the head waiters there. They are ready, as many people want to miss, or not miss particular nights.

It seems to me that this is an opportunity to enhance Princess at Sea. Just make the menus available there. They are standard for each cruise for the most part. Minimally, put the daily lunch and dinner menus there. I would imagine it would save the wait staff some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked that. I do agree that with Princess@Sea they should provide menus for the cruise there. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeep Posted September 1, 2018 #16 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Princess does not want to give you too many opportunities to be able to stay in your cabin...some, of course, including room service (limited menu), hang tag breakfast.. but at the same time, Princess wants you out and about on the ship noticing more times to "enhance" your cruise experience...by spending money - aka, you have to get out of your room to view the menus..not in your room, via Princess@Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridalover5623 Posted September 1, 2018 #18 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I really wish they would post the menu in the Patter.... or even on the TV system, changing it each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted September 1, 2018 #19 Share Posted September 1, 2018 or even on the TV system, changing it each day. The menu is usually posted outside the dining room. Point a web cam at it, and put the link on Princess at Sea. No one has any more worries about keeping it up to day, than they already do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
