FManke Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 RCL has numorous food selections and styles, but what's missing? Anything you would like to see added to menus? I think a bbq concept would be great. Slow smoked brisket, anyone? RestingBird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 In some ships, they do have a poolside BBQ. BBQ does seem to be making its rounds through the industry, though. Carnival has added Guy Fierri BBQ restraunts to most of its ships and Princess is added a surcharge BBQ restraunt to its Caribbean Princess which is in dry dock right now. Personally, I'd like to see a French restraunt. I'd be okay with BBQ, but I'd want an international BBQ restraunt where they had traditional, Hawaiian, Korean, etc. That I think would be cool, unique, and eclectic and more importantly different from the rest.

That sounds awesome. I love Korean bbq and I personally can't get enough kimchee! There are so many different bbq styles, just in the US alone. I don't know about French. I'd be ok with it, but I think the time for French restaurants sailed, back in the late 80's. Pun intended! ;) Who knows maybe it's time for a comeback.

monorailmedic Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I've yet to get a good bagel on a cruise ship. Regardless of the cruise line or itinerary, it seems impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FManke Posted March 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I've yet to get a good bagel on a cruise ship. Regardless of the cruise line or itinerary, it seems impossible. How about a good and I mean good deli. Corned beef and pastrami, bagels and lox? I worked in a deli years ago and we baked fresh bagels everyday, from frozen dough, and they were great. It's not that hard. This might be an easy concept that could be used for late hours. Who doesn't love a good Rueben at 1am? monorailmedic and DocLC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coneyraven Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 It would be interesting to add menu options, or complete Dining Options that are more localized based upon where the ship is coming from ... For Example .... For Grandeur out of Baltimore --- a good "Maryland Style" Seafood Restaurant .... Plenty of Blue Crabs, Crab Cakes, etc.... use a local (Baltimore) supplier, or even better, local restaurant, such as Phillips to bring the flavor of the Chesapeake on the ship .... Being a native, I find myself bringing a container of Old Bay on board .... It goes good on EVERYTHING!!! Just a thought.

Building on that thought, how about a "pop-up" style restaurant that changes wherever that ship is home ported at. It would change every time the ship relocated. Maybe a little too complicated, but would be cool. DocLC and coneyraven 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I travel to enjoy different foods.....having what I can get at my home port doesn't sound exciting....I can get that at home. Corporate Head Chefs probably would have difficulty establishing regional contacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toodle68 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I wish they did more spicy foods in the MDR. I ordered a thai curry in the MDR and it was bland. The most spicy foods I have found is in WJ but we tend not to eat there for dinners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
