kelmac Posted July 19, 2015 #76 Share Posted July 19, 2015 This is very much a moving target; let me update one more time: After 55 cruises, let me update my picks: #1 -- Oceania, best dining room food of all cruise lines. #2 -- Azamara, very close to Oceania, but their buffet is not as good. #3 -- Celebrity -- Best large ship category! Buffet and Alternative restaurants are great. #4 -- Cunard dining room only! Buffet sucks and Todd English is so so. #5 -- NCL using the "Ultimate Dining Package" and eating all evening meals in alternative restaurants. Eat lunch in the main dining room and avoid the buffet as much as possible. #6 -- Oasis class, Q-class and Radiance class ships of RCL if you visit their alternative restaurants. All other ship Classes are not that great. #7 -- Holland America. Safe MDR food and pretty good buffet and alternative restaurants. #8 -- Princess, we keep giving them a shot, but I really don't get it. Meals were very mediocre, even in the alternative restaurants. Crowded buffet. Kel:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoncom Posted July 19, 2015 #77 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Great thread. I always divide cruises into 4 categories. Budget/ mainstream/ premium/ luxury.I mainly do Celebrity, which I consider upper mainstream. . Just off Oceania 71N; I consider premium.Gained 10 lbs. Lets face it; most of us have not done luxury cat .Loved O but at twice of usual $$ of Celebrity, I still think Celebrity offers best food value in the Cruise business. Admittedly, they have cut some corners in past few years to keep the tab down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
