We are trying a train/bus tour next Oct of Paris and NW France. We compared a Viking to NCL transatlantic for Feb 2025. It was triple the cost. Since we don’t drink, and there are fewer excursions on a crossing, it didn’t make sense. We could add a big dining package easily for the difference, if we were indeed able to afford the Viking price. I’m not expecting 5* in the MDR and buffets, just something better than Fazoli’s and iHop. Something closer to Bob Evan’s and Longhorn Steakhouse would be fine.

We need some serious discussion about food. Our last two cruises were NCL Prima and Gem. The same food and exact menu on both. MDR was 2* at best. The specialty restaurants we tried were great, 5*. Another cruise last spring on Princess was even worse.. Why has the quality gone down so badly, and on what lines can you find good quality meals without paying for specialty services? We really can’t afford lines like Viking and Virgin. This is ruining our daily enjoyment, especially on sea days.
