Review summary

My biggest issue with the boat was the food. If you didn't eat at that specific time your forced to eat pizza and wait in a long line because it's the only food available! The food in the main dining was disgusting. If you don't make reservations for it before you get on the ship get ready for mediocre buffet food.

Wow, between Playmakers, Johnny Rockets, Cafe Promonade, Fish and Ships, Izumi, Room service, Giovanni's, Windjammer buffet, Main Dining room and Chops Grille OP would only eat pizza? There's always something open, of course after 10-11pm it's just stuff to munch on. Sounds like OP would only eat the included (free) food.

I find it hard to believe that you can’t find food that you like when you want

Do you not know there’s a free buffet that’s open most of the day? Also, Johnny rockets is fantastic. Yes it’s $10 a person but worth every Penny for all you care to eat.

I wonder what this person’s issues were with the food? The vast majority of the reviewers either liked or were ecstatic over the food. Also, it sounds like he had fixed time dining and wanted flexibility, but that was his fault and not the ship’s (and the booking agent for not defining it better). Sounds like the rest of the trip went well though.
