Scotico Posted October 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2022 So my 3yo son is super picky and will only eat pizza and sometimes pasta with meatballs. What kind of menu items do they have in the MDR for kids or will I have to go to the buffet to give him food. Will wait staff accommodate to picky eaters?

There is a kids menu with pasta and pizza, so he will be okay. The waitstaff will do their best to get your son exactly what he wants every night. Don't be afraid to request something off menu either, they will take care of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguy1016 Posted October 28, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 28, 2022 There is a kid's menu available in the MDR with several options. I know spaghetti is one option and I believe pizza is another. There will be other options as well such as a hamburger, PB&J sandwich and chicken fingers. If he can't find something he likes, ask the wait staff and they will probably be able to accommodate him.

Rare Itchy&Scratchy Posted October 28, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2022 my 11 yo didn't like the pepperoni pizza offered at MDR (crust and cheese were ok, but pepperonis - nope), but he LOVED Sorento pizza. You could grab a couple of slices on the way to MDR. He also really liked Spaghetti Marinara on the kid's menu. Spaghetti Bolognese was a no go for either of us. He also hated chicken nuggets off the kid's menu - too fancy. We also got him a fruit salad for every dinner since he started cruising at 3. Sometimes it comes cut into cubes, and sometimes it's whole pieces. There were cheese tortellinis on the adult MDR menu one night - he absolutely loved them. Also, bread with butter is such a highlight of the MDR dinner for all three of us. Fruit salad chicken nuggies MDR pep pizza We have also used a tablet with headphones for DS since he was 3 to give us an opportunity to actually enjoy MDR dinners. He watched cartoons and kid's movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on a cruise during the last World Cup and would watch matches at our table during dinner. We were the most popular table in our area every night 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted October 28, 2022 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Just note that the kids menu is kid-friendly food, but it's still adult sized portions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they are seasoned with everything but the bagel seasoning. Nice they have the fruit salad as an option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmony had regular looking and tasting chicken nuggets at the buffet, so my then 10 yo was unpleasantly surprised by these fancy things. That one bite was all he took. 🙂 He likes a variety of fast food nuggets, except for Arby's, just to give a fellow parent an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
