Thanks for sharing! Good thing I'm eating my lunch @ work right now or I'd be really hungry!

[dockhl]

Thanks! So, was your first formal night on Sunday? Everything looks really good. We also enjoyed Share and will do it again!

 

On your last night Surf and Turf, it looks like you have a lobster tail. The menu says shrimp....?

I'm about to board the Emerald and these pics sure help a lot. I was told about the new menus on my last cruise but no one knew what they were.

 

Thanks for taking the time to share these!

These menus are not on Emerald. Or weren't as of a week ago.

So far, they're only on Ruby..

Thanks for sharing.  Have to say that the Alaska King Crab meal seemed to be a bit lacking in the crab department.  I would need a couple more plates at least if that was my entree.

Everything looks great.  Am I the only one that orders from the kids menu the fabulous Volcano

Hmmm, well that's weird then! We were told by staff on the Grand Princess that new menu's were coming out Fleetwide. So now I'm really puzzled!

Yes, eventually - supposedly - they will be fleet-wide. According to Princess themselves - no word on when they may be rolled out though.  They say they're still in "testing phase" - even though these menus have been on Ruby since at least March 2018... 

They're not on any other ships - yet. Would be great to see new menus across the fleet, but they're not there yet...

Thank you so much for posting these. I prefer the new menus over the old. I really wish they were fleet-wide.

Interesting! And thanks for the update.

Thanks for great photos.  We'll definitely try Share this time.  I'll be fasting all day prior to my dinner.

LuckyToGo -   Yes we  just returned from the Ruby.  The last night we were so full but still had to have a Volcano before we left the ship.  There are four of us and we both shared with the Husband.  It was smaller than usual but still very good and we were happy we ordered.   We all loved the new menu on the Ruby.

They were really big shrimp!

The formal nights were Sunday and Thursday.

We were on the Dec. 1 - Dec. 8 cruise on the Ruby Princess.  

 

We have been big fans of SHARE since it was introduced and were looking forward to the new menu.  When the bread was brought to our table, my wife was, initially, disappointed.  She always liked that "braided" bread on the previous menus.  However, one bite changed her mind,  It is outstanding.

 

Thanks for all the pics.

That picture isn't a King Crab meal...if I'm not mistaken, that's one of the 'small plates' entrees in Share rather than an entire main course dinner.   At least I hope so!

You are not mistaken, Kartgv.  That is one of the Sea course options on the SHARE menu.

I thought so...just went back and looked at the picture again and noticed what looks like a raw egg yolk on top of the rice???    To me, that would taint the whole plate.
