First
I would recommend the Vegan Tomato Soup. I'm not vegan but I just wanted something different than the French Onion Soup. It was truly amazing 😋
The Eggs Benedict i order as a salmon eggs Benedict. Delicious way to start the day
3:33 😂 I love the Maryland snobby standards comment! Being from Maryland, I was just wondering how well they really stack up to ours. 😂
I don't like fish, and Royal Caribbean's Crabcake is Fishy. I used to like getting Crabcake on land, but Royal Caribbean and Princess both serve Fishy tasting Crabcake. If you like fish, then go for it! I love Crab Legs, so I am not opposed to crab taste . . . And as for Salmon, I can't help, because I am so highly allergic that it won't stay inside at all !!!
The French Onion Soup is delicious! I also love the Ribeye at Chops, but to be completely honest, Princess' Crown Grill has a better cut of Ribeye every single time. I've had 3 – 5 Ribeyes per cruise on both ships and Princess wins.
A hidden gem might be that if you don't want to spend the money for a trip to Chops, especially if only 1 person in a family is interested, then order the steak from the Main Dining Room which has a $20 surcharge . . . It comes from Chops . . . But I guess there is a chance it gets delayed coming from Chops to the MDR, and because of that, going to Chops would give you the best experience, but I believe the option to get a Chops steak in the MDR is a Hidden Gem.
I miss the roasted garlic soup
The spaghetti Bolognese is always my favorite
Indian and Filipino food are always great on cruises in general. So many crew are these ethnicities so gotta have high standards
I love food
I cant eat that escargot twice. It looks the same no matter what line you're on. Its way too rich.
Vidalia onion tart!
I agree with your list! And escargot taste and feel like mushrooms.
I can't wait for Saturday when I board Oasis of the Seas. My sister went to Uconn, so her and her family are going to Playmakers to watch the Final 4 game. I'll watch the first half and then head to the MDR with my family because there's no way I can skip the prime rib. It's one of my favorite items in the MDR.
Cruise food is to good I love the restaurants on the ships
I love the fried arancini, it's one of my favorite appetizers. I really like the pork bao tacos as well. Also, if you get the chance to sail on Spectrum out of Shanghai, the Hot Pot restaurant is an absolute must. The food was amazing!
I love Key Lime Pie especially in the Florida Keys and Key West
11 days until Explorer. Can't wait!
Curry? Yuck!
Absolutely nailed all of these!
Escargot is a MUST. I love soaking up that butter with all the bread they give you.
Always get the crab cakes with the calamari appetizers.
The Beef Bourguignon on French night is a favorite too.
