    Dream Menus

    We've had a few requests to share the menus from the Maiden Voyage. According to AVP, these are the same menus they served on the next sailing, so they should be indicative of what you will see on board, at least for the next few months, until they start tweaking them again.

    The dishes I had:

    Sesame-flavored Rock Shrimp and Caramelized Onion Cheesecake With Asian Barbecue Sauce and topped with Micro Greens - This was not very good at all.

    Wild Mushroom Risotto and Porcini Twist Served with Parmigiano-Reggiano - This was very good though it suffered in comparison a bit since the risotto I'd had at Palo the night before was better.

    Black Truffle Pasta Purseittes Pasta filled with Truffle scented Cheese and coated with a delicate Champagne sauce - Very good.

    White Shrimp Pennette Pasta Tossed with a Basil and Reggiano Parmesan Cheese Sauce and topped with a Parmesan Cheese Wafer - This was good but not remarkable. Macaroni Grill quality.

    Castaway Chicken Breast Rubbed with Pirate Island Spice, Rice and Beans, and Fried Okra on a rich Spiced Glaze - Nothing objectionable but while Pirate Island's exact location is unknown it is revealed that their spice hasn't much in the way of flavor.

    "Not very good" being a somewhat relative thing. It was edible and I ate it all because it was in front of me and small, but I'd not order it again.

    15 minutes from Disneyland!

    Question for you very experienced Disney cruisers--is there a "no substitution " policy or can/will they make changes to the dishes? for example, one of the dishes above is Sea Scallops -- which I love-- but it comes with asparagus--which I loathe. Just about any other veggie would be fine. Can/will they substitute the asparagus with something that is on one of the other plates that night?

    My recollection from other cruise lines is that they can and will do this--in fact, they were eager to do so. On the two-day Wonder cruise, however, I indicated to my waiter that I didn't like asparagus and could they substitute something, he seemed to say ok, and then when the dish arrived they had just left off any veggie!

    Thoughts appreciated.

    What I can tell you from my experience is that they will do whatever they can to accommodate your wants and needs. This can even include bringing over a dish from one of the other restaurants if you would like. (So I have been told from those with 1st hand experiences.)

    So a simple veggie substitution should be no problem.

    They will absolutely make substitutions for you. Just ask. If the kitchen has the ingredients, they will add pretty much anything you ask for.

    That being said, sometimes, when requesting a substitution, they will instead bring both items. For example, the scallops might still come with the asparagus, but then a side dish might come for a requested sub of sauteed spinach. When they are trying to serve 700 people four courses in ~90 minutes, and most of the proteins are cooked a la minute, it can be easier for them to plate the dish normally, and then do a side dish for the other item.

    And that would be fine. In fact, I had someone tell me once that they were on a Disney ship during Hannukah and made a comment about wanting latkes, and the waiter actually found a chef who knew how to make them and they brought them out to my friend! So I was surprised it seemed to be a big deal that I didn't want asparagus--and that they just left it off and didn't substitute something else. I don't mind it on my plate (someone else in my party would eat it)--I just thought it weird that they didn't bring out an alternative--even if on a different plate.

    But you have to be careful. When special things like that are requested there is a not insignificant chance that what is delivered will be far from what was intended.

    I just thought it weird that they didn't bring out an alternative--even if on a different plate.
    It probably wasn't an issue so much as an oversight. Did you mention it to your server? If not, and you had I'm sure s/he would have quickly set it right.
