We are going on the Glory shortly after it goes to drydock next spring. We would love to see the change except that I think it would be popular and would spoil the nice quiet sitting area up there.

 

The flip side is it will open up more seating on lido and that is a good thing during lunchtime.

Cooked to perfection on the Valor ,oysters were fantastic .

 

agree. when I was on the Valor, it was the first time I tried the Fish and Chip place, and both oysters and fish and chips were excellent.

 

Fast Forward two years later on the Liberty, both were terrible, but I did get to try the ceviche and bouillabaisse which I have come to like very much.

 

Tried it again on two subsequent trips on Freedom, one year everything was good, and another year not so good.

 

That is why I say Fish and Chips are hit or miss. I will miss it though.

Lack of supervision by executive chef I guess.

I was thinking the same thing! Sort of like cancelling because they changed the Cruise Director. :confused:

 

Im pretty sure that poster was joking.

 

Even if they weren't, people have the right to cancel their cruise for whatever reason they want, as trivial as their reasoning may seem to some. Live and let live.

oh, no!

Loved the F&C's.

Hate BBQ, and my system doesn't, either.....

 

Oh well, off to cancel my Conquest cruise..:p:p:D;)

 

Really, no one could tell it was a joke.

Guess the emojis didn't tip off:p

This upcoming cruise was a bouceback, no way would we cancel.

For those that cannot see my cruise history.....I don't cruise for the food;)

Question:

 

Is the BBQ joint an add your own BBQ sauce after they cook the meat with the seasonings or is it a cook the meat in your sauce? That'll tell if I can even attempt to try it as I can't eat any BBQ sauce due to my allergies to tomatoes and bell peppers. Darn tomato paste.

This is a pleasant surprise! :) I've tried the ceviche and I'm not a fan. I've never craved fish and chips on a cruise ship. With everything there is to eat, fried foods just seem too heavy. Good BBQ will be a huge hit with many of us Americans! I'm just not sure how I'm going to try it when I have to get a Guy's burger and a Blue Iquana burrito! Hopefully I won't forget to venture upstairs!

Oh No!!! We are going in April and I really wanted to try the fish. My sister went and said it was the best fried fish she has ever had!

 

It was good in an Arthur Treachers vs Capt Ds sort of way but if you're from any coastal state where seafood is plentiful, cheap and good, you won't have missed out on anything.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that.

 

Another for-pay food stop (calling it a restaurant might be a stretch). More fodder for the "I'll Never Pay For Food on a Cruise" and the "Relentless Carnival Cutbacks" camps.
