...that is still banquet-sized.

 

I have not been on the ships, and I cannot comment on the quality of the food, but 400 to 500 guests in an evening is still mass production.

 

Other than cruising on a few select ships such as Silverseas and Seabourn, perhaps Regent as well, there are very few ships that do not serve at least 400 and up to 3000 guests per night.

 

Of course we are having more of a banquet dinner but I think that most of the cruiselines do serve up a reasonable and in some cases an excellent meal and as far as I am concerned usually better than a banquet meal.

If they fed everybody at once, I would agree with you, but those people come over a 3-1/2 hour period of time. According to the Executive Chef onboard, everything is cooked to order (other than desserts and pastries, which are prepared ahead of time). I've never had that happen at a banquet!:)
