Here is my summary post!This was the first week of the NEW Menus on Adventure of the Seas.
In the MDR three things were consistently good.
Caesar salad was better than most restaurants on land. Really great lettuce and dressing.
The little steaks are quite tender and tasty.
The standout dinners I had were both Indian food. Lamb on french night and chicken on bon voyage night. I think the Indian entrees were the way to go and would have done it all 4 nights.
The warm cookie with ice cream and the cheesecake were also delicious.
Everything else was a very mixed bag. My husband had a few weak entrees. Spaghetti, fish on the first night, lamb on bon voyage all a big letdown.
Tomato soup was good. Crab cake was AWFUL. A few things had tasty and bad elements in the same dish. Greek tapas plate (good humus bad pita) and corn cakes (savory salsa) come to mind.
In the Windjammer the indian curried porridge at breakfast was great, and the coconut cookies. Key lime in a cup was nice. Breadsticks GREAT!  Mac and cheese good.
All other pastry desserts in both venues were basically flavorless. I was surprised. They looked pretty and tasted like bland wedding cake.
Big suggestion: INDIAN NIGHT in MDR. Across the board, overall the indian food was a strong suit, and a pleasant suprise and others felt the same way.
Breakfast: my one MDR breakfast was great. Normal American stuff.  Room service continental breakfast was pretty good one day and really a letdown on the other.
We enjoyed our 1 MDR lunch and wish we had done that more but we liked eating at 2pm with dinner at 8.
I hope this is helpful to someone--- we were asked over and over how we liked our food but to be honest it was a formality.
We had a great time, but marveled at how amazingly inconsistent the food was!
Happy sailing. Thanks for reading. Back to work
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Last dinner—- crazy mixed bag…. Bon Voyage 
The hummus was very nice but the med tapas plate was random. 
I really liked the Indian chicken dish, The lamb was disgusting . 
Catalan crème too sweet. 
I will do a wrap up post. 
cheers! 

 

After reading the one long paragraph 🕵️‍I'm taking it that OG poster is looking for some kind of refund or Fcc due to the fact she had an argument with her ex best friend before even boarding and it ruined her cruise! 
Unbelievable 😄 
At least she didn't say she was pinnacle  🤣 
 
 

I'm scratching my head what type of argument somebody could have during checkin to end a 20 year friendship. Usually people are quite happy at time as their getting the ship

On a recent Marella cruise you picked up your sea pass card from your muster station, if you didn't go to your station, no room access and no drinks. Didin't hear any announcements chasing people to complete their muster drill.

I like the upgraded cabin idea.  Try a balcony!  AC issues or not, interior rooms feel like caves to me.  I need sunlight & fresh air!  If the room is too warm, the balcony will be more comfortable than sleeping in the Centrum!!!

Hi @Steven W,
Thanks for coming back.  When you say "the room you've been allocated", did you choose a GTY Balcony?  Otherwise you would select your room.  When choosing the lower price of the GTY, I think it should be expected that you will be given what is left in that category.  It appears that in the UK, you aren't able to change after a GTY has been assigned.
This is certainly not a scam.  Deck plans are made available.  These reviews exist prior to your booking.  Also, sometimes people want the warmth but not the direct sunlight while others might want easy access to the amenities on decks 14 and 15 on Anthem.
I'm sorry you feel taken advantage of.  I'll join the others who recommend you use a good travel agent for your next cruise whether it be with RCL or another line.

Way, way over dramatic. It's nearly impossible to end up stressed, tired and feeling ill after a cruise unless it ended like Titanic in 1912. If the cabin caused that then cruising probably isn't for you. If a cabin did all that then most vacations might be an issue for you. 
Again, something very, very strange about these posts. Sorry, that's just how I read it. 

Please keep reporting your thoughts on the new menus in the main dining rooms. Thank you

Hi I posted a summary at the end if you don't want to read the whole thread!
So we were told by our waiter today was their first day of the new menus on Adventure. 
It was a mixed bag.
Apps: tomato soup good,, crab cake INEDIBLE cold mush, and I am from Maryland, shrimp cocktail fine,Caesar quite good. 
Mains: fish was mushy and odd tasting, fried chicken mushy too though the honey is a nice touch. The steak was good, the carrots with it were excellent, broccoli good. 
Our waiter was sweet but the captain was perturbed we asked for replacements on the crab and fish. 
 
 
 
 

 

I'd order a lobster and then sell my lobster  to my table mate or the next table for half the price that Royal is charging (cash only) . I don't eat lobster, so it works out well.

We always gave the kids a phone to use to kill time. No different than most of the adults in the dining room

Wonder if the hot tubs have seen this kind of action ?

There have been some pictures posted from ships of the new menus that now have the chef's recommendations repeated in the entree section that did not have it like that on the ones Matt put out. 

I'd like to credit corporate lurkers for reading this thread that pointed out the error of their ways.

Never understand why men need to remove a cap, but women wearing a hat is ok, since its part of their outfit

I understand that RCG is already working on Grand Bahama. Having spend several weeks there, I believe it has lots of potential. Friendly folks who welcomed us.

I so wish I was on that cruise...I'm a hair band fan lol my first concert was in 1985 for Motley Crue and Y&T !

Nacho cheese is pasteurized American cheese w/ seasoning and canned. Think Velveeta in a can.  This is pretty far from real cheese as it gets.

i've seen plenty of guys in jeans and polo shirts on "formal" nights, not a big deal anymore.

I've worn sneakers with my black suit before. I forgot to pack my nice shoes. Wife still thinks I did it on purpose .
