The MDR menu features a different theme every night but also included are their regular nightly standby offerings. They could include fried shrimp, chicken or a pot roast.

Matt Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 There is a subset of each day's menu which remains the same each evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Also it's worth noting that the dinner and lunch menus change. The breakfast menu in MDR remains the same every day. PRC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of people like the MDR for breakfast as it's more service oriented and laid back than let's say the Windjammer, but compared to lunch and dinner, I'm not overly impressed with the menu. I know it's just breakfast, but it seems to lack a little imagination and variety. Where's the bcarney special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the crowds at peak times, I like the WJ better for breakfast especially for fried eggs and omlets as they're called to order; this it's fresher. In addition, there's a lot more selection. On our last Radiance-class cruise, they rotated a cooked to order pancake, waffles, and crepes stations, too. I actually can't remember the last time I went to the MDR for breakfast. It was probably in a Disney cruise in 2011/2012. I love the MDR for lunch, although my wife likes the WJ has there's more choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I've seen Baked Alaska the last couple of years on Indy. I believe one cruise line - think it's P&O - used to do a "Baked Alaska Parade" in the MDR!! It didn't happen on my P&O cruise last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Baked" for me has always equated to smoking mother nature, not drinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one night they do have it, but it's an individual serving prepared in advance. They don't do a huge one and light it on fire and parade it through the dining room like in years past.

From what I know, this is still offered on sailings of 5 nights or more but with the new fleet wide menu changes being rolled out I have no idea if this remains the case.

DocLC Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Lobster is available at a charge from the Chops' menu selection listed on the MDR menu. It is also served one night in the MDR on longer sailings (5+ nights) from North America. You won't find it on any European sailings.
