The food in the main dining room was good.

Sounds like you liked everything except for some of the entertainment which of course is optional to attend. No matter how much I liked a cruise, I Ilan always considering other cruise lines. Price and itinerary/timing are my biggest factors. Cruise lines aren’t that much different to want to pay or get less.
