I just got off a Celebrity cruise yesterday - was very underwhelmed - food quality was just meh! Along with Holland America and Princess, the post-covid cruising cutbacks in the area of dining quality and options are making me rethink cruising in the future.

My best meals were not on the ship, but at restaurants ashore.

Food is definitely a focus, since we all gotta eat. But for me, I'd be okay with high-quality mundane foods on a smaller, more intimate ship, than have to share the halls, pool space, elevators, and line to get into pretty much everything, with 2000 of my dearest strangers and their combined 200 screaming children.

Unfortunately if we want a smaller ship we have to pay significantly more money, which we're in somewhat short supply at the moment. My dream is a river cruise though. Some day!

There is a Brit, Gary Bembridge, who provides good, up-to-date information about cruising. He has a website and a YouTube channel. I trust his reviews and suggestions.

We tend to use Holland-America and while the food is generally very good we have noticed fewer "special" options - even on gala nights - and a lot more for which you have to pay extra (there didn't used to be any of these).

They have also combined the starters/soups/salads in one listing to try to steer you towards ordering only one. Hasn't worked - most people continue to order as much as they want. Don't get in the way of a hungry cruiser!

On my recent Holland America cruise to Alaska, you could only order one appetizer/soup/salad in the “pay” Pinnacle Steak House - an additional would be an up charge. Also lobster and certain cuts of steak were additional up charges above and beyond what one is already paying for the “pay” restaurant.
