ryanpatricksmom Posted April 10, 2023 #29 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I thought that it was meh. Having said that, on a ship that often feels overcrowded (as the Mardi Gras does to me), it's worth the extra $$ to get a bit more breathing space, LOL! We did eat outside....we received the reminder voicemail and completely misunderstood what the heavily accented gentleman said regarding shorts, so DH showed up dressed improperly. Oops!

Rare Thenagers Posted April 10, 2023 #30 Share Posted April 10, 2023 We ate at all 3 specialty places this past week on Mardis Gras. Rudis was our least favorite. Personally the food was best at the steakhouse but if we were only doing 1 we would choose the teppanyaki. The show alone was great and the food good and $10 less per person. I still got filet and lobster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hapytobehr Posted April 10, 2023 #31 Share Posted April 10, 2023 We have eaten at Rudi's on the Celebration 3 times on our 2 past cruises. We thought the food was very good and the service outstanding. As jimbo554 said, we also thought it was better than the steakhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted April 10, 2023 #32 Share Posted April 10, 2023 For what it's worth... Rudi's has made some cuts, coming down (quality wise) from where there were initially. See THIS post for details. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Astromaid Posted April 10, 2023 #34 Share Posted April 10, 2023 We just got off the Celebration and ate at Rudi's. I had Dover sole and enjoyed it very much. My husband had the crab stuffed lobster and he said it was awful. He loves crab and he said it tasted bad and he found several bits of crab shell in the filling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never order it again, after seeing (and tasting) the changes from when they first opened on the Mardi Gras. Oddly, the best entrée in the place, IMO, is the Crab Cake !!

d-train Posted April 12, 2023 #36 Share Posted April 12, 2023 We did Rudy’s last summer on our b2b Mardi Gras, once each week. my wife and son loved everything they had, don’t much recall their choices, but when I told my son we booked for Celebration, first thing he said was make a reservation for Rudy’s… I recall the chefs amuse Bouche was the steak tar tar. first, I don’t do raw meat…and second, beef was the choice? how about an escargot dish. had the scallop app, great! ciopinno soup. Great! stuffed lobster, enjoyed the lobster very much. the stuffing was over seasoned, with too much fennel and carrot. flavors really did not match well. the crab in the stuffing was good, but found some shell mixed in. I get the galley is huge, but they should have paid more attention on the shells for sure. would we go again? Definitely, and would choose different items, except for that chiopinno soup, so good!

asalligo Posted April 12, 2023 #38 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Hard to justify that price. I live in Florida and we can get a really amazing seafood dinner for a lot less than $48 a person. Combine that with also passing up a meal you already paid for to go and it becomes even less appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @ryanpatricksmom said - it's worth the $ (to us) just to have an upgraded experience (from the MDR, Buffet, etc). Tom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TravelBluebird Posted April 12, 2023 #41 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Yes, there have been a few cutbacks—lobster cheese & mac presentation, the stuffed lobster is smaller. That said, it’s still one of my favorite meals at sea. Night we were there last month, the lobster tail was spot on, and my husband who is a real foodie thought the chef did an incredible job of getting the flavor right in the lobster bisque. I absolutely adore their Cioppino—it’s practically big enough for an entree, but it’s the soup course, so you leave the restaurant well fed. And the key lime pie presentation is delightful. For us, it was worth it. Do I wish it were still $38 so a better value? Absolutely. But I feel that way every week when I look at my grocery bill too thanks to inflation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmichael1221 Posted April 13, 2023 #42 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Definitely worth the money... I'd suggest going earlier in the cruise... My friends a few weeks ago had some concerns about the freshness of the seafood on the final night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond that, there's plenty of other things to choose from ! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely lobster and plenty of shells. My DH had the crab cake and loved it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdggal1980 Posted April 14, 2023 #47 Share Posted April 14, 2023 DH & I were in the Celebration in January & really enjoyed it. The Lobster Mac & cheese was to die for; would have happily taken it as the main entree! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
