This is the problem with food opinions, people have different tastes. I think the hotdogs and el loco fresh are average at best and some of the worst food on the ships yet this is the only thing you liked. I really like a lot of the food in most other places. If my wife cooked up most of the meals in the MDR I wouldn't have to cook every night.

Where is the rip off exactly?

Not reputable cruise blogs, just someone trying to overdramatise the situation to get hits. Very rarely happens and even when it does most times people get a call in advance offering compensation to swap out.

It's a small cafe it's supposed to be limited, so many other places on the ship with loads of choices.

While I appreciate your views, I've seen just as many say Sorrentos is horrible but other food is great. Just proves taste is subjective.

No it's not that bad, unfortunately the nature of human behaviour states if something is bad even a little bit I should tell the world. One review thousands read it and everyone says ooo the MDR iss horrible now. Satisfied people don't feel the need for the attention.

The people seating were terrible because you didn't like the table they gave you? Sorry but the rest of the review is pointless.

Sensible business decision more than anything, cynicism not required.

If we stopped doing things based on things that have happened before we would never go anywhere.

I am Australian and have previous cruise buddies on that cruise. They are aware of a number of cabins on deck 3 being used to isolate sick crew. There have been a lot of reports of both Covid and influenza on the last couple of Quantum cruises.

The Titanic sank a while ago, Ill take my chances.

Passenger has updated after a few emails they have offered a free cruise with drink package.

It certainly makes sense as to why no further details were given in the letter. It makes more sense than simple overbooking, especially considering the number of rooms and the fact that if this was a regular policy/occurrence we would have been hearing about it for longer. We are going through a new wave in Australia at the moment and have always been pretty strict in the management side.

How can you compare the 2. What right minded person would get on line now and say, yes dear let's book a cruise in Israel in July next year. Hundreds of cruises sail the Carribbean in July each year, the likelihood of cancelling less than 1%.

What age?

Last year the sale only applied for dates within 1 year.

DBP 35% off on mine but still more than when it was 35% off a couple of months ago. Refresh 35% for the kids the only thing I bought. Was hoping for a bigger discount on the 3 night dining.

The big question is, do we think this is it or are there still things to add.

Hopefully not everyone feels they need to buy in the first hour. They're not Taylor Swift tickets

It's always a guess for me here in Australia working out when it starts.

A TA friend of mine says Black Friday sales begin on the 9th. Maybe that's why they are bigger, just more days.

You still can, it just is different and took me a while to find. From the main page go to the bottom and click on where it says don't see your cruise let's add it know. Or when in any cruise click on the calendar in the middle top to bring up the itinerary and selecting a different ship/date should be at the bottom.

I think I have fallen for the one and done whinge. Punishing myself accordingly.

Sorry but no-one in our country would purchase a coffee from a restaurant, cafe, service station or convenience store unless it is freshly brewed. In fact the only place I can think that still has coffee in a pot would be a hotel buffet breakfast where you are not paying for the coffee individually. And even then most people will purchase some sort of espresso.

Cruising is no different to anything else, it changes constantly with generations. And like everything else if you don't adapt you just become old, grumpy and negative. I definitely don't have today's music as my favourite but if I am travelling in the car with my kids (13 and 15) we compromise and share our tastes around. I won't let them tell me my music is awful and I won't say that about theirs, while not my taste if it's popular then an awful lot of people must think it's good. If I ever get to the stage where I am negative about things it will be time to move to something else.
