I'm sorry, to be honest. I don't know today what to eat tomorrow..... A bit concerned that the ship is vibrating that badly, we are on the same floor in Aug. Starters all look to be salad based and not to our tastes. Entrees the same issue with sweet sauces. Looks like we may end up ordering from Main Dining menu each night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo1953 Posted July 2, 2023 #54 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Many of us fret over what is or is not on the menu to our liking and do forget that when we look at the next nights menu it can be modified to our taste. The chef's, more often than not, are willing and happy to "do it your way"... I can assure you as I modify many meals when aboard X (and at home too... LOL, to much consternation)!!! The menus in many dining venues are not inscribed in stone and as such can be altered and modified to some degree... so ask in advance for it to be and not night of, if possible... bon appetit and bon voyage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure we will find something that works for us, food is not the main reason for cruising. We are more about the itinerary and overall ambiance of the ship. 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did neglect to write that I have had a few issues from time to time with my meal order, usually after pointing it out the kitchen gets it right going forward... I really did not mean to insinuate that on the first go round it is right... bon appetit and bon voyage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medium vibration....not as strong as first night but clearly bad....., we'll see how we will sleep. Dinner at Blue. Issue with the menue there: not mention fish or gluten in the menue.
