This was our first time on Royal. Everyone I’ve met has always raved about the food. However, something must have happened because this was the worst food I’ve ever had. Not just on a cruise. The food in Windjammer was like something out of a TV dinner. Most nights I spat it out in a napkin - and I am the least picky eater you could meet. We ate at Chops and the filet was a perfect cut, cooked perfectly medium rare, but was the BLANDEST steak of my life. I don’t think it saw a drop or salt, pepper, or any other seasoning. We had mac & cheese and mashed potatoes and they tasted like the bland kind from a packet. The main dining hall was equally bad - the shrimp Risotto was bland, watery rice. The mozzarella sticks were WORSE than those from a bowling alley! Unmelted and solid cheese.
