[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really does depend on the cruise line. We sailed with Royal Caribbean recently and I had planned to do scrambled eggs and fruit for breakfast and hit the buffet salad bar for lunch, but it really didn't work out -- the scrambled eggs were powdered and disgusting (there were made-to-order omelets as well, but the line was too long for me to put up with), and fruit was the same every day: pineapple, watermelon, cantelope and whole apples/oranges. That was it. The salad offerings on the buffet were not good -- iceberg lettuce and spring mix, with the spring mix being so limp I didn't want it; shredded carrots; cherry tomatoes; green peppers; and balsamic vinaigrette and ranch. Basically you could make yourself a salad that would be about on the level of what you could get at McDonald's.

So yeah, I thought healthy eating would come easily, and it really didn't. The food on the cruise was so bad, I basically ate what I could tolerate. [/quote]

I did not realize Royal Caribbean was so bad![/quote]

I haven't been on RC but have an upcoming cruise with them, and people online are really bashing their food lately. The Indian vegetarian is said to be consistently good so I plan to have that. I'm not vegetarian but I love Indian. [/quote]

PP who cruised on RC here (cruised last month). It was terrible. I'm not foodie at all, and had serious trouble finding things to eat. The second day of the cruise, at sea, we had lunch in the main dining room. I ordered a chicken sandwich. Should be relatively safe, right? It was barely edible. And I know it isn't me because another family was out our table and the mom and grandma of that family ordered the same thing and they didn't eat it either. I tried to just eat the fries but they were cold and limp. The buffet is worse -- lunch is all hotdogs and hamburgers like a cafeteria in a junior high that doesn't have much money. I assume they are majorly cutting costs due to covid losses or something? I don't know. They also didn't have half and half. Milk only for coffee. But they still have jugs that say "cream" and that say "milk." So you use the cream jug for your coffee and can't figure out why it tastes awful. It's because it's skim milk and they won't admit it.
