Jamie's Disappointment

[Ampurp85]

Anyone else experiencing the disappointment of the changed menu? I loved the garlicky prawns. Jamie's was also sort of basic anyway but getting rid of the prawns and the burger just makes it worse.

Had the new menu for lunch on my recent Anthem cruise and although I was sad to see the garlicky prawns gone it wasn't a deal breaker, although it might have made more of a difference if we had been having dinner, given how much more expensive dinner is.

I absolutely loved the salmon dish on the new menu and thought it was definitely better than the one on the old menu.

Not a fan of Jamie's, but we love Giovanni's Table.  Do you know if they removed it from both restaurants?

There wasn't garlicky prawns at Giovanni's. They have a shrimp dish but wasn't the same.

The prawns were my go-to as I don't eat other seafood. So no burger and missing the prawns is a big deal. I also got the pasta pomodoro a lot, so pretty much everything I like is gone. I canceled my lunch on Mariner.

I agree with you, Alisha.  The garlic prawns are always my go-to choice.  Super bummed that they are gone.  I have never been a huge fan of Jamie's anyway.  Less so, now.

I'm +1 on missing the Garlicky Prawns.  They were a bright spot for me at Jamie's.

When did this happen? I was just at Jamie’s for lunch on Quantum this past Monday and we had the prawns as one of our appetizers

I guess they're still rolling it out across the fleet. When I sailed on Anthem at the end of April, it was still the old menu, with the prawns. When I sailed on her again, just last month, it was the new menu with no prawns.

I just read something yesterday that the garlicky prawns were being canceled for both lunch and dinner.  there were other items being discontinued just cant’ recall off top of my head.

It was just posted on the blog a couple of days ago. So, it's probably taking a little bit to update.

It was disappointing on Symphony. The food was lacklustre and misleading. Wouldn't go back.

Agreed, Jamie's  was a little bit of a let down for me on our recent Harmony cruise.   The garlic prawns was the only highlight for me.  No garlic prawns means no Jamie's for me.  As a side note my current Italian fave is Giovanni's Kitchen (New Version).

While I can't comment on the before and after since our Harmony sailing last week was out first time trying Jaime's, I do know my mom was disappointed that a dessert she wanted was no longer on the menu. And I ended up getting the classic sorbet because nothing else sounded good to me.

I had the banana split and it was amazing, which sounds silly because it's just a banana and some ice cream, right? But the ice cream was excellent quality and the crispy caramelly stuff they put on top was the perfect finish.
