  1. How is the food adapted in the Asian markets? (Not a rhetorical question, I'm actually curious.)

     

    I spend a lot of time traveling around Asia, primarily because I like the food in the region. For me, cruising Asia and expecting great (or even good) food on a cruise ship just doesn't compute. Nothing is going to compare to what you can get on land. To me, the whole cruise food in Asia thing is almost like taking a fall foliage cruise in New England/Canada and complaining that the weather wasn't warm enough to use the pool.

     

    If you love Asia, then I'd reccomend the Quantum for you based in Shanghai. It sails all year from there and is geard to the Chinese market and not geared for Americans.

  2. Having cruised several times on all 3 lines I can say that the RCCL experience is NOT miles ahead of NCL. In fact I would put the NCL experience slightly ahead. The ship amenities ar similar on both lines but the food is superior on NCL. As far as CCL goes, RCCL used to be miles ahead but the gap has closed in recent years and more because of what RCCL has done than CCL. RCCL's food quality has not been up to par on my last few cruises on them but the ship experience is better on RCCL than CCL. If CCL ever starts cranking out a few new ships with some different on-board options, they could easily over-take RCCL.

     

    I definitely agree with you. Just got back from the Serenade and the service and the staff were excellent but the food was just par so didn't gain any weight. What I did on this past cruise was ask what the crew mess was having. The crew mess cook made me adobo pork or chicken almost everynight and they were happy to do so and I'm far from being a diamond.
