Talk about trip to trip. We were on the Royal in August and the service and food were the worst in over 40 cruises. Sailing on the Ruby next month and hope for better
If you want canapés you have to order them. Your steward should provide an order form. Personally they are no big deal. The club class service, food and no wait in MDR are the big attractions
We cruise club class nd for the most part the food and service are outstanding Have never waited more than a minute or 2 to be seated except maybe for the first night when they need to check everyone’s medallions and turn away people who try to skip the lines at the “regular” entrance. Some of the “extra” dishes are excellent and even better than dishes in specialty restaurants
I saw at least 2 cranes around the ship so hopefully some major changes are coming. We sail on her in about a year after trips on the Ruby and the Emerald
