Chops - red velvet cake, wedge salad, shrimp cocktail 

Well yum - that wedge salad looks great.  Think I'll find one for dinner tomorrow.

I always take a picture of the waiter card for surveys.👍

 

Did you enjoy the poblano soups🤔

of course, and the Mongolian grill stir fries 😁

 Finally a non trolling RCCL food thread from a respectable cruiser that comes with real food pictures that are not photoshopped. Very nice.

My stomach is growling.....  Thank you for the walk down memory lane.

[FSHLOT]

WOW, what a nice change of pace to these boards. 

 

Thanks for posting.

Honey Stung Chicken served on boarding day in Windjammer not part of the offering anymore.

 

The famous Garlic Tiger Schrimp one of the best MDR dishes.

While not food this is my favourite thing to consume while on a cruise.....time of day is important as well. Early morning balcony coffee.......best way to start the day.

I snapped a picture of the recipe when on the ship tour, Liberty of the Seas 2011.

Amazing photos and videos!  Those are way superior than those of the average shutterbug like me.  It was great to relive some of my past and looking forward to the cruises on my bucket list.  I have had my eye on the MSC Seaside for quite some time and watching your video sealed the deal.  I love the layout of your cabin -- couldn't tell if it was #10075?  Were you able to get the RCI equivalent status -- I think it's a one time deal? Seaside is calling my name!

We’re also on in 77 days.  Have a question:  Is there really that much difference between Jamie’s and Giovanni’s?  We like Giovanni’s but often people give less than favorable reviews of Jamie’s.

We’ve done both multiple times, and you can’t miss with either. Jamie’s is more casual dining, the dessert plank there is fabulous! 😁 For desserts, Jamie’s edges out Giovanni’s, to me. For main course, I’d give the edge to Giovanni’s.

Thank you for the kind words. Nice to see you browsed all photos and videos, there are lots. Yes the Seaside cabin was 10075. We did status match but I cannot remember if I matched Royal or NCL. But yes I think status match is a one time deal.

Tired of seeing the same old tired pics of suspect Royal Caribbean food disasters?

 

Pull up a chair as we take a trip down memory lane with some actual pictures of real RC food

 

Feel free to chime in, share your memories, and quote pics for effect

 

 

Thank you for starting this thread. I'm loving the pics

[John&LaLa]

Back to Symphony

 

My all time favorite pastry, the Apple Turnover

 

Hard to take just one

 

sometimes you just want chips and a cookie

 

assorted lounge treats

 

Chicken quesadilla from El Loco Fresh

 

More sideways stir fry in the Jammer

 

Crepes in the WJ are a big plus. Symphony does it almost every  night

[John&LaLa]

looks like lobster bites

 

Another take on Caprese Salad

 

When it's lobster night in CK, but you also want scallops

 

More lamb

 

More Belle Glos. No takehome this time, but the bottle was never empty

 

This is the Landscape Designer for CP. We were quizzing him about Wonder. He was tight lipped.

I really think he was surprised to be here. But he was fun

 

 

[John&LaLa]

Looks like the rest of my pics are on a hard drive back in Ocala. I'll get it tomorrow and push forward

Lovely filet, sorry that it's sideways

May be sideways but that is cooked to perfection.

I think ice cream. They dump hot caramel on it to melt it. Really cool. Came from Wonderland originally I think. It's called The World

@ReneeFLL   Here is a video of it. Best dessert I have ever had .

Well, the true food of Royal is so-so. We've dined at least twice in each other premium dining venues and at least 3 times at 150 Park and chops. The food has been good, but nothing to write home about. In terms of food, just in my kids, wife and mine's opinion the food in DCL is generally much better than RCL, even the unpaid/included in fare one. Food at the MDRs in Royal (Oasis and Freedom) is mediocre across the board. Norwegian MDR/included food is much, much better.

 

If you're into good eats in Mega cruise ships (and assuming that was your only criteria for choosing):

 

1. DCL

2. NCL

3. RCL
