Yay, Patty, who has a food photo for every discussion!

 

You're right, that’s quite paltry. We just went on Viking, and Mr B couldn’t stop raving about the bread basket contents. Alas, I don’t think I took a photo.

where are the rolls?

at least BLU gives a bread basket, usually filled with variety of breads and rolls.

 

on  the Beyond in Luminae , bread was doled out  by a rovlng bread person, often mia.  A few tomes we were tokd the bread would arrive late...huh,

I know that you guys cruise on X a lot, but have you been on an S class ship of late and maybe know about the MDR diner food.  Off Summit recently and we were very dissapointed in the major decline in the quality of food and the offerings.  Any fed back?

We were just on the Summit a couple of weeks ago and thought the food in the MDR and Tuscan Grille were absolutely delicious. We found food in OVC to be hit or miss. Skipped the Mast Grill.

It might be with the bread we got on the last cruise:

 

Child's portion again?

Did they at least tell you there was more in the oven?

We got that both nights we ate in the MDR

We recently cruised for 6 weeks on Apex.    We found the food to be very good and plentiful even in the OVC.  

 

To my knowledge there are no plans to change the menus except for occasional tweaks and substitutions.

 

Ours was a cold weather cruise and the Pool Grill wasn't open and hamburgers were cooked at the OVC and were cooked in advanced and stacked -  chose not to have one.

I am trying to find the menus for the current Apex cruise. They changed them on the last cruise and it was a drastic cut. Each of the 4 MDRs had their specialties and the complete entree menu for night 1 was the classic chicken, steak and salmon plus Israeli couscous cake. That was the entire menu. Hoping to see more as this cruise sails.

Are you not seeing the current Apex cruise in the app?

No they aren’t there. I checked the current cruise.
A current cruiser on another forum said they are not appearing on the app for them either.

They are in their trial phase of the new menus in the MDR. Maybe they don’t want to publish that too widely 😳

They are advertising on TV that they are bring back 'favorites"  All we can hope is that that's a good thing and not favorites that save them more money, but rather favorites that make their guests happy!

Here's the prime rib on our Infinity cruise is June:

 

I know the quality of food is declining but If I am served this in the MDR on Millennium it will be sent back. School dinners looked better than this!  I read about the ice cream scoop of mash and the recurring carrot sticks and green beans, but seeing it in reality is dreadful. Just wondering how many complain to the Maitre D’ and if anything is done about it? Or do most just complain post cruise? After 20+ years of cruising if this is the best they can do then our cruising days with X will be over.

On the Equinox and Beyond, the brand of butter being offered was Grassland.  Real butter.  And I love and know my butter.  

.

Hope this holds true in December on the Equinox.

Bread is no fun/not worth the calories when spread with flavored/colored Crisco. I expect real butter on Celebrity.

The Apex menus do show up in the app for the cruise after the current one. They have completely eliminated the appetizer and entree section that changes every day and replaced it with what used to be the Classics. If that is rolled out fleet wide I will no longer sail Celebrity (after 160+ Celebrity cruises) !!!

This is what I too am seeing in my app for my October Apex cruise.  I’m not sure how much chicken, salmon, pasta, and strip/flank/sirloin steak I can eat over 10 days.  Always available has turned into only available.

I saw a picture of tonight’s menu. I said the same thing to my husband. How much chicken and steak can I eat on a 14 night cruise. I did see a vegetarian section at the end which adds a few more choices in (if you are a mushroom fan)

I can maybe just about manage chicken steak and salmon on rotation but a scoop of mash as the potato option with carrots and green beans on every meal is pushing things too far. 

[foodsvcmgr]

Are we sure they aren’t just posting the Classics because the rotating portion of the menu is not yet finalized vs this being the only options once the sailing actually happens?

[airhose]

I was checking upcoming menus on Apex as we are on in November.  Only the children's menu is posted, and I noticed that their small filet mignon (which some of us have ordered) has sadly  been replaced by a small steak.  

 

A menu posted by a current sailor on Apex shows no rotating choices.

Any possibility that you could post a picture of the MDR Menu or a few of them??  Our October cruise shown nothing

[hcat]

Will they still offer soups and salads as well as  appetizers like shrimp cocktail?  some nights that's enough for us...

 

wonder if BLU will stay the same?

these were night 2. Of you go into the next cruise on the app you will see them. They have added a vegetarian section way at the bottom of those menus which give you some additional choices.

BLU and Luminae do not appear to have changed.

For our November Connie TA the menus are on the app 

[foodsvcmgr]

And EVERY night in Cosmopolitan is exactly the same for the entire cruise?

Something odd here, even for Celebrity.
