We have never eaten hot dogs and hamburgers on a Royal cruise, they have so many options.

We just got off that ship and quite frankly have no idea of what you are taking about. The specialty restaurant were outstanding as well as the MDR. I don't know how 7:30 is too late . You have 0 cruises listed maybe you just didn't know..

I’m confused about your comment about the entertainment times. They usually have two shows each evening one that starts around 7 to 8 and another at 9 or 10. As far as the food, we We’re just on a similar Royal Caribbean ship and found a very good variety in the main dining room and at the buffet. We never had hamburgers or hotdogs for any meal.
