briget Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hi, I'm sailing at the end of the month and trying to figure out what I need to do about food for my picky child. We're planning on packing a suitcase full of shelf stable snacks but I need to see what is going to be an option for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooch Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 It’s in the app under Dining, Main Dining Room, Menus. The kids menu for each day is under the adult menu. RafaellaCG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audrey V. Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 What about other places to eat, like Windjammer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't find a specific kids menu for it, but they definitely have kid friendly items on the buffet.

Buffets are great because they see the food and can decide. However, some foods are not what they appear. I had a green melon smoothie, which would look interesting but tasted yuck. My kids were not finicky, and they liked the grown up menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Was going to chime in and say there may also be adult offerings you child might like. Picky means different things to different kids. My picky daughter (37 now) was a legume eater. Forget nuggets, pizza, hamburgers. Bring on the three bean salad! Also, weirdly, frozen uncooked peas.

An additional point to add to this, on my most recent cruise the dining staff was not only open to letting my kids try new things on the adult menu, they actively encouraged it. They were sure to linger/check-in fairly early when they knew one of them was exploring a new food and quick to offer a replacement in case they didn't like it. Despite what was surely more work for them, they really seemed to enjoy seeing them taking chances. Either that, or they were Hollywood-level actors!

Audrey V. Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Okay, so the final point is that it is not just the food, but taking the kids to the adult MDR means they sit and talk with other adults, use cutlery correctly (not to mention cloth napkin), and learn manners with the wait staff who were truly delightful to their young guests. Last I checked, classes for learning manners may cost more than the cost of the cruise (Ritz Carlton in Naples). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 I thought the MDR might be more trouble that it was worth with my 10 year old grandson. But the last night, there was a menu item I knew he’d like so we went. Dang if he didn’t love the experience. From the minute they put his napkin in his lap, he was hooked. You just never know .

IzzyB Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Keep in mind they can also order off the adult menu. I can't imagine your child not being able to find stuff to eat on a cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bretts173 Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 My kids wont eat anywhere but the MDR, even if the menu isn't great for them that night they can always stop and get some pizza or duck into windjammers for a quick snack. They just love the vibe. Pooch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
