Thanks for you review, Mike..we very much agree with you about the food on
RCL..I wonder how long it will take them to remedy it as their ships are so
beautiful otherwise. Carnival seems to be taking first place in the food
department anymore!

It is getting that way more and more on most of the cruise lines. The more
slovenly that you look, the better it seems! Yuck!

LOL! Don't you know that is the *style * now!! Ridiculous...we didn't wear
jeans when I was in school, but if pants were in that condtion then, they
would have been in the rag bag long before they got that way! And people pay
dearly for them in that condition now, too!
Glad that you had a nice cruise despite the food.
Interesting review!
