I am also very interested in this topic and would happily pay the up charge of I knew what I was receiving. I am looking at the menus for my 9 night sailing next week and not seeing anything too inspiring, a lot served with mashed potato scoop. All of my sailings post Covid have been on RCCL I where I was very impressed with the food served and would say as good if not better than X pre March 2020.

I too loved the pics of Murano. very disappointed to see triggering from the mdr. Post Covid I returned to RCL ( I hasten to say on the smaller older ships) On the basis of these photos I would say RCL is vastly better. Not big at lunch in dining room on sea days however in June I had a wonderful lunch. I'm happy with reduced portion size but maybe slightly reduce the plate size. Chefs table was not far behind Murano. I am concerned in 4 weeks I return to X on Connie beginning to think it is a big mistake. I cruise solo now so not to keen to go to speciality restaurant s besides no Murano on M class. Would be interested if anyone has any experience of ordering any of the up charge items in the mdr. Keep up the good work ladylemondrop. Loving following along on your travels. Enjoy.

My room attendant was almost apologetic when asking if I needed am or evening.I chose am as I always found I was always getting ready when twice a day. The only thing I asked was it possible to have an ice bucket in the evening, which was always delivered. The facts are costs have increased world wide, so whilst cutting room service to once per day and therefore staff have more rooms to service makes some saving for RCG after increased labour cost. That is not the only reason I believe for this change. Since COVID there is also a shortage of workers.

It has been lovely following along on your journey, thank you for taking us along with you. I'm sure your Mum had a wonderful time, your photos looked great. Hope you have a good journey home.

Not sure about the return transfer being full. I called earlier this week to book transfer from Venice to Ravenna and was told just to turn up anytime for the coach. I arrive the evening before but a late flight and have booked an airport hotel. I asked twice if I needed to book a time but she said no they run every 30 minutes. Thought the cost was quite reasonable (for RC) includes phone charge point, free Wi-Fi and bottled water. Coaches only filling to 50% capacity. She asked if I wanted to book the return transfer, however I left it as I thought I would maybe do the Padua transfer (Although that is a steep price). Maybe call RC to book although it looks as if return transfer is bookable on board.

Hi loving your pics and thank you for letting us follow your live on board adventures. I have done chefs table twice and enjoyed the "experience" as well as the food. On board Brilliance in just over 2 weeks your review is telling me to do again. I am sure your evening drinks event will be a great success. Perhaps the couple who called 're the love and marriage show got your room number from the invite from Montserrat? Hope you didn't get blown away in Mykonos today.
