Creator's Key Takeaways
Royal Caribbean is testing a major change to the main dining room menu.
I have mixed feelings about this on the surface I agree with pretty much everybody who's been commenting on this story already in that I'm not a fan of them removing options from the menu.
I applaud them for trying to do that I'm not sure this is the way to do it because ultimately I do agree there is a problem when you go to the main dining room for dinner.
Booking early also ensures you get the exact cabin that you want.
