Philomath Posted October 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Highlights how much care is put into the dining experience, which is definitely what we saw on the Equinox this summer! http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/11/03/floating-feasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecriticmember Posted October 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Gain only 1 pound per day? Doubt that for myself especially since I will have the alcohol package and I've read all about Cafe Bacio on CC!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whataboutport Posted October 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 27, 2014 "Reasonably fancy" land restaurants buy frozen veggies and stock? If that's true, I'm glad I eat mostly at home, as I grow my own and make my own stock and broth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare hcat Posted October 27, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Great article..thanks for posting the link. Having experienced Oasis last Sept...definitely agree that food quality and dining service are not its strong suit (if it has one)...To us it was an oversized .floating mall & food court.....but many folks love it! Mdr food was pedestrian, service lackluster. Some of specialty spots were one step above but nothing memorable..Chops much better on other Royal ships...waiter tried to hawk a cookbook and wine aerator during dessert at a family b-day dinner...tacky one surprise was a great dinner we enjoyed at the rear cafe...which at night becomes a lively tablecloth restsurant with perfect service and excellent menu...well prepared! Anyhow...happily back to Celebrity in Nov Edited October 27, 2014 by hcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleckle Posted October 29, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Highlights how much care is put into the dining experience, which is definitely what we saw on the Equinox this summer! http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/11/03/floating-feasts Thanks so much for posting this.It helped to convince me that I have absolutely no desire to try either Oasis or Allure, or any other ship of that size. One of the main reasons I keep on reading Cruise Critic is for the good information like this that gets posted here from time to time. (But the silly arguments here are fun and entertaining too.) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cle-guy Posted October 30, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Best line from the article: One of the challenges in marketing cruises is that more than a few people associate them with vomiting and diarrhea. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
