I just wanted to let you know that in August we have planned our 2nd and last cruise. I don’t have much time left on this earth and I accept it. Your wonderful family have unknowingly let me see so many things and I thank you for it. I will continue watching you wonderful people until I won’t be able to any more. I pray your lives will be filled with love and happiness. You will always be a special part of my life even when I’m gone. You’ve touched my heart and I thank you so much.

Chicken Marsala is one of my all-time favorites, and I know Royal Caribbean will do a nice job on that. I'm super intrigued by the Chilled Banana-Cocoa Custard with tahini, maple syrup, and dates! Can't wait to try that. And the Braised lamb looks very very inviting. And *winner winner, Autumn Turkey Dinner!!* That one I know I'll love. Of course, I know I will enjoy lobster night, but it will be bittersweet for me. I will be eating my *one* single, tiny lobster tail with many tears, as I say goodbye to all-you-can-eat lobster tails. $17 + gratuity is absolutely INSANE to ask for a single lobster tail. There was something so special about being able to have as many lobster tails as you wish. It felt so magical to be able to eat as many as I could stuff myself with!!! But that's okay. I know there are plenty of food offerings I will enjoy on my cruises! Another great video! Thank you!!!

Excellent video. The photos are very clear & sharp and well labelled. This video helps others plan on what to order then they go on a Royal Caribbean cruise. Which ship was this? It seems that the food on the newer ships look better than the food on the older ships. I was watching some videos from other people posting photos of their food from Serenade of the Seas - it is supposed to be the same menu as the other RC ships but somehow the food on Serenade of the Seas does not look as good as in this video. If you have photos of the food from Serenade of the Seas, please make a video. I would love to see it. Thank-you.❤

Glad the video is helpful- thanks for the comment! 🙂 This was from the Allure of the Seas, and from our experience, Royal keeps the menu pretty consistent across the different ships. So for the Serenade you shouldn't see a huge difference, but there probably will be some differences for the same dishes based on the chefs on the particular ship and ingredients available.

Love this series of the new RCC MDR menus! Great reviews, and can't wait to try the brownie! 😄 Question: If we order multiple appetizers/entrées/deserts, do they bring out the different selections of each category at the same time, or do we have to wait for each separate/extra selection, thus making our dining time take longer (and making the others in our party wait to eat too)? We're on Wonder in May and already know we'd like to try out at least two selections from a couple of the menus, but don't want to super-lengthen our dining time. 🤔🙂

@TravelTouristVideos

Жыл бұрын

They do have this new rule where the server will only bring one item at a time to the table for each guest. But the wait staff is usually attentive and will remove e.g. your empty soup bowl and then bring the salad shortly. It is a legitimate concern that it could take longer, though it helps a lot if you show up 5-10 minutes before the dining room opens, and order soon after sitting. If you need to make a show, letting your server know when ordering helps as well. Thanks for the question and have a great time on the Wonder! 🙂

So what are your thoughts on the changes in the MDR offerings and has the caliber of the food changed since your pre-pandemic cruises? Also they don't allow off menu requests but are they still allowing for requests of multiple servings of an item?

There weren't as many selections, and some of the go-to dishes that were available daily are no longer, so yeah not as good, but still good enough. But yes feel free to order multiple dishes, though their new rule is that they only bring out one at a time.

Usually we try not to get too full. For us that means not eating too much carbs- for instance most of the time we won't eat the bread that's provided at the beginning of dinner. Eating lots of fiber (i.e. fruits & veggies) and having a stroll after dinner help us as well. Thanks for the question & have a great cruise! 🙂
