Cascades Dining Room on Radiance of the Seas

Did not go to the dining room for dinner because we were not able to get the early seating. We did go one day for breakfast but we were not happy. It took forever to receive our order and they never came around to fill up our coffee. The couple next to us had the same opinion.

Overall very nice service. Food was well prepared though breakfast choices seem to lack seasoning. First night we attended was French night. Beef tenderloin was very tender and to my desired doneness. French onion soup was molten lava hot but tasty. Asparagus a bit chewy. Breakfast/brunch there was average. Ordered French toast once and it was barely warm when served.

The food was OK, edible but nothing special.

Had dinners here and never had a bad meal. Wait Staff was excellent.

Excellent!!!

Main dining room was great for dinner. Mostly great for breakfast. Average for lunch. Had 5:30 PM dinner reservations and the wait staff was fantastic and the food was delicious. Average time for dinner was 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Very Very disappointed with the menu and food that was on it and served. I would say poor choices. This new (themed) menu in the main dining room is awful. We ate at the Windjammer 4 of the nights and 3 other nights wish we would have. We have always ate in the Main dining rooms on our other cruises. This was the main highlight in which we look forward to each time we cruise. I was shocked at what they had and didn’t have on the menus. The Windjammer had the same foods other then the lobster tail being only in the main dining room. As far as saying it would make dining times quicker with less choices, well that didn’t happen. I did not talk to one person on the ship that said they liked the new menu selections. And we talked to many people about it. To end I’ll say that it was very disappointing and to the point we said It looks like time we try some other cruise lines other then Royal Caribbean. Note we have cruised strictly with Royal Caribbean for many years based on this food and experience of the the main dining rooms and always have top notch ratings for the food and experience of the main dining. I rated them as top scores and sadly it was a one this sailing.

Service was excellent. We liked the set dining time as there is no wait to sit down.

Service was very slow the first 4 nights but improved towards the end of the cruise. This was a return to service cruise which might have played a role in that. “My Time Dining” reservations were basically worthless the first 4 nights as we waited in line 30+ minutes past our reservation time.

My time dining isn't a good avenue, all the table were reserved in advance for all cruise The menu was repetitive
