Review summary

Just came back from this "award winning" cruise, what a nightmare it was. The worst cruise food in my life, no selection neither in buffet nor in the dining room. One stained page with almost the same options for a dinner 10 days in a row. Mostly spicy Indian cuisine in the buffet. Pastry - stale doughnuts, loaf cakes and cupcakes. The most depressive employees I have ever seen - no smiles, no small talks. Avoid it, go to Princess if you want a decent cruise experience.

Uncounted versions of Indian briyani in the buffet (not appealing and not good)

Tilapia with pasta, tomato sauce and swiss chard - inedible combo.

I’m on this ship right now. Day 9 of 10 and completely disagree. Have not experienced and if what your saying. Actually the crew and passengers are best I’ve had yet 4 cruises in.

Did this ship pre and post pandemic, and it was night and day. I completely agree with you. It was simply awful food after the pandemic.

That’s funny because our experience on the Regal Princess in regards to dining was disgusting

I took my very first cruise on this ship in Sept. 2022, and I thought the food was phenomenal. Wonder why it's changed so dramatically?
