Review summary

Our cabin was wonderful our Stewart spoiled us rotten. But we saw the crew struggling. We witnessed 2 events were staff members started arguing in the Windjammer..never ever in over 20 years of cruising has that happened. The food used to be 5*. Not anymore. No more butter at the table but awful tasting oily tasting margarine??? We went to pay the extra charge at the specialty restaurants. Chops Grill was amazing as always. The other one omg. We send the first entree back so so bad. The other food was edible but just ok. 1 hour after dinner hubby and I got very ill. We crawled of the ship the next morning. The quality of the food has changed drastically I assume there is not enough money after COVID. We have to be patient and support our cruise lines that they get back on track. For a starter: bring the butter back

Sadly, if we accept things that are going on now, it could become the new normal. I have been loyal to RC, but only up to a point.
