She could pass her log on to someone she trusts, post incognito 🥸

The cover band on Ovation are indeed excellent, full bore Killing in the Name of. Outstanding.

The saddest place on the ship

Never had an issue, we book 7 every night, turn up at 6:55, seated by 7:05, 95% of the time. Drinks cart in line, easy.

No, the stories you hear are a few and only from those with an issue. The thousands like myself who are mostly satisfied with MTD have no need to post. Never waited more than 10 minutes for a table.

Yes but it's way easier to be negative if you don't use actual numbers.

Ponting wines, with former Australian cricket captain as the figurehead. Rianna is his wife's name.

If you believe what a few people write on reviews over the thousands that are satisfied and don't feel the need to you will never do anything. People like to draw people into their misery to feel better.

The best way to find anything Royal related is download their app, you can look at any cruise, you dont have to booked, on any ship. Has all the menus, entertainment on there. Beers around $8, cocktails $15

One would think the wrong person is in charge. The one with years of service and qualifications should step down for the new skipper.

Royals cruises in Australia have had all prices inclusive of gratuity on menus for multiple years. At least 5 anyway. Menus in the USA for example have cocktails at $14 while in Australia they are $15. So about a 7% gratuity added.

Nothing sinister but this has happened on a few cruises this season. The ship still arrives at the same time as the itinerary hasn't changed but immigration is doing a face check with passports on each person arriving back. This just extends the process. We were told last time due to the overnight in Vila. No idea why that makes a difference but coincidentally or not this cruise also has the Vila overnight.

Not everyone is cynical about everything in life.

They never said they were going to charge, they asked cruisers what they thought about the idea of charging for Pizza

Just repeated that many times because of the size of the venue.

Yep a couple of prime examples on this thread who only come on to be negative and cynical.

Have been on a few cruises in the last 12 months on Royal and MDR has been great every time, maybe it's because I'm in Australia, no idea but there has been no decline for me. The only thing ive noticed is slightly smaller servings. This same topic discussed on Fbook once someone complains and 90% of the replies are positive.

Would be interested to know how many people who think the MDR has fallen so much, are most things in life also not as good as the good old days?

The food has looked great in the dining room, ...... Maybe in 10 years I'll be ready.

Most of the old every day items available 4 or 5 times a week. Whinge for whinge sake.

Geez must be the quality of produce, the quality I've had in Australia is still there. No discernible difference from 5 years ago. Sure the menu is different and portions may be slightly smaller but being negative is contagious, once one person says it easy to follow.

Arghhh Foster's, Australian beer that no Australian would touch.

People really should have a close look at a menu from 2018 and see not much has really changed.

Does the band play anything from the last 30 years?

The lunch menu looks great and different to most of the dinner menus has a bit more of a modern feel.
