Koningsdam MDR dinner was some of the best food we’ve had at sea . . . Have cruised with her twice. Food reviews are very subjective. Some only like “the left side of the menu” and then complain menu was the same every night because yes, those standard choices never change. The changing nightly menus - usually 4 courses - are just wonderful in selection, preparation, freshness, taste & presentation. Our last cruise on her was 17 nights and dinner was a top notch experience every night. Sorry you were disappointed with MDR this time.
