It’ll be interesting to learn if new & enhanced are how passengers will describe the changes or instead new & not improved. 🤔 Edited January 25, 2019 by Astro Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hllwdcruiser Posted January 25, 2019 #7 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I wonder when the launch takes place. Do you think they are referring to "Crafted by Curtis" additional dishes that they announced in October 2018? "Guests choosing a “Crafted by Curtis” menu item in the main dining rooms can now choose from new options including Steamed Mussels, Chorizo and White Wine, Beef Tenderloin Tips and Mushroom Cobbler. These new dishes join guest favorites Chicken and Leek Pot Pie and Roasted Pork Belly." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it’s an across-the-board overhaul of the MDR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1Nanna Posted January 25, 2019 #11 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Sounds great! When is this changed menu coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pms4104 Posted January 25, 2019 #12 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Interesting ... but I thought Princess redid the menus not so long ago. I found those new offerings recently on the Coral to be pitiful. Couldn't understand the ever-present pork belly. What's with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted January 25, 2019 #13 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Writing that you are changing and improving the menu sounds good and is easy. Actually improving the menu is much more difficult. I think we should withhold comment until we all see and TASTE the results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted January 25, 2019 #14 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Do you think they are taking the Ruby menus fleet wide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing on a star Posted January 25, 2019 #16 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Can somebody please post a link to this, and when this was released. The, I found the supposedly new improved menus and recipes, along with the cut-backs on the quality of the food ingredients and the service, that has been floated on some ships to be, well, absolutely horrid.

Wishing on a star Posted January 25, 2019 #18 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Yes.... just found that.... food-and-dining. I don't think this is anything brand new. I believe it refers to what we experienced on our recent cruise. Not impressed. And, I agree that Curtis Stone needs to just go away. The one dish that I did try, to me personally, tasted just awful. Not the cutbacks and poor preparation... But, the actual 'taste'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyn874 Posted January 25, 2019 #20 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I'm still a bit confused about the 'chocolate journey'. Is that one of the free/included dining options, and if so, when and where is it? Is it part of the MDR dessert menu every night or is it something independent of that?

They had them on Majestic with cost-extra Crown Grill options. The included formal night steak (beef tournedos?) was the worst quality beef I have ever had on Princess. I struggled to find something I liked on another night so had the always available salmon which was dry and tasteless. On another night we looked at the menu and went to Harmony restaurant again. The final nigh was still good - pepper pot soup and guinea fowl nicely cooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Chocolate Journey dessert option on the menu most nights. Some are very nice indeed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the new menus on the Ruby this summer and thought they were a great improvement. We were disappointe that last month the Crown still had the old menus. Unlike some other posters we have enjoyed some of the Curtis Stone dishes and since there is only one per menu I hope they are retained. But then we also thought Share was the best specialty dining room (as opposed to the Chef's Table and the Winemakers Dinner) we've experienced on Princess. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
