[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did the royal carribean cruise to Alaska in 2017 (so admittedly a while ago).  I’m a huge food snob and found the food okay.  I was really only in the ship two days because the port days in Alaska are so long that I was mostly off the ship.   They had really good vegetarian curry in the buffet.  I don’t really remember the dinners but there is a trick to ordering at places that are making large scale dinners — generally some things they do well and some things they don’t.  Oddly, cruise lines almost always make a good filet mignon — they seem to have that cooking down to a science.   The beauty of a cruise line is that if you mid order it’s not a big deal to just order something else or skip it.  The dinners are usually 3-4 courses so if half of it is good, I’m fine with that.  But I definitely would not take an Alaska cruise for the food—that’s not the draw.  iME, a lot of vacations with gorgeous nature don’t have the best in food.

Sorry you didn’t have a good time.  I’m sure your SIL is saying “never again!” as well.[/quote]

I agree with this. I’m kind of snobby about food and went on a RC cruise for a family wedding. I ended up just ordering more basic things like the chicken dishes, steak, baked salmon, pasta and everything was great. Anything fancy like duck, more complicated fish dishes, beef wellington, lamb, shellfish, etc, avoid! They are going to use lower quality than you’re used to at nicer restaurants and it will not be on par. [/quote]
