Kri1970 Posted June 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Okay, so this is maybe a dumb question, but first time cruise coming up, we booked the steakhouse for embarkation day, BUT I see on the menus that day also has the strawberry soup in the MDR (cruising on Breeze 7 day eastern with YTD). I have a serious love for chilled strawberry soup, I can't possibly imagine not getting it. SO, question time. Can we go to the steakhouse at 5:30pm for dinner, then at say 8:30 or 9, go to the MDR also same day? That way I can go have the steakhouse, but still have strawberry soup, maybe another app, probably no entree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean1000 Posted June 13, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 13, 2019 If you have your time dinning, I don't see why this would be a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoifmom Posted June 13, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Absolutely, and you can have my share (I hate strawberries 🙂). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaBaseballMom Posted June 13, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hi! Yes, you can do this. My advice would be to ask for your Steakhouse dessert "to go" because you will be really full after eating there. You will need to save room for your strawberry soup fix! 🙂 Enjoy!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted June 13, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 13, 2019 A previous poster mentioned your time dining, but it would also work with early or late dining. You just need to schedule your steakhouse reservation time based on your MDR dining time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury me at sea Posted June 13, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I hear you. Strawberry Bisque is the reason I stopped booking the Steakhouse on the first night. It's that good! I agree with other posters. If you have assigned any time dining go before or after the steakhouse. Otherwise, make your steakhouse reservation fit before or after your assigned dining. Happy sailing -- and eating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kri1970 Posted June 13, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Thanks, all. Yes, we have any time dining, and we booked the steakhouse at 5:30, which is SO early, I'm sure I would have room to eat more later. But I do like the idea of dessert to go from the steakhouse. We still have 177 days to go, and I've already told my husband of my intent to do this, he tried to tell me you couldn't go to 2 dinners in the same night! I'm glad to have folks to validate my position! I expect I will eat the chilled fruit soups most nights, but the strawberry is the one I am MOST excited for, love the stuff! Disney has it on the buffet at 1900 Park Faire at Grand Floridian, we ate it the very first trip to Disney back in 2007, and I fell in love with it. Now we live in Florida so I can get it more often, which only makes me crave it more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you're at the steakhouse, doesn't mean the staff can't retrieve food items from the MDR. Ask them for the soup and I bet they'll get it for you without you having to step foot in the MDR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Essiesmom Posted June 14, 2019 #13 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Just know that you can order any of the items on the appetizer menu as a dessert item. We love apps, soups, salad...and when there are more than we can do before main, we order for dessert. And sometimes those things can be had at the buffet. Definitely check there first.

You should also ask at dinner on day 2 if they still have any! I have done that for desserts and/or regular food that we missed the night before OR just wanted again. Often they're able to find it! Worth asking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
