Review summary

We have been on two prior cruises with Royal Caribbean in 2007. Both were great (food, accommodations, etc.). This cruise was very disappointing. Food quality in the dining room was not very good. Steaks were never cooked correctly. We asked for medium-rare and always received well done!. Service staff was good, but the food is obviously precooked. Bacon was always overcooked and burnt. The windjammer cafe food was also not very good. I guess we were spoiled by the great food years ago on this cruise line.

Food in the main dining rooms was not great. We are very disappointed. Steaks were always served well done, even when we ordered as medium-rare.

Windjammer Marketplace

Food was not good. We were very disappointed. Bacon was always burnt and greasy. Most food lacked flavor. Desserts lacked flavor as well.

Chops Grille

Food and service were great! Only place to get good food on the ship. Too bad you have to pay extra to get good quality food on the ship.

Ship tip

Dont go on this ship. Food is very POOR quality. Make screen prints of EVERYTHING you purchase online prior to the cruise. We made purchases and did NOT receive everything listed online. The staff on the ship refused to provide items that we purchased. We will NEVER CRUISE ON THIS LINE AGAIN!!!

Food on all cruise lines is not what it used to be I think it’s to keep prices down or get you in the specialty restaurants or both
