Review summary

I have been on this ship three other times and have been very happy until this trip.  I think some kind of a dress code should be enforced.  People were showing up for dinner looking like the just came in from mowing their lawns.

 

This is the first time that I've been on since they updated the ship and I think it looks very nice.

Food and Dining

they had just changed over the menus and the food was not that great. I've been on this ship before and the food was better. They do no change the lunch menu in the Pacific and that gets boring fast.

funny you should comment on the dress code.   My wife and I don't have a dress code at work, the couple we went on the cruise ship do.   We dressed up for dinner every night, me a dinner jacket or suit, and loved it.  The other couple, while not in t-shirts, were glad to not have to where suits.  

I think the dining rooms should police the dress a little better, suit and tie/ dressed up on one side of the dining room, casual on the other.  This would solve the problem and still give people options.
