Creator's Key Takeaways
I have to say I've not been impressed with Royal Caribbean in our last few cruises there is definitely massive drops in the quality and quantity of food here in the buffet
I'm having second thoughts about cruising with Royal Caribbean in the near future again we have got the icon of the Seas book into Cruise in Asia as well but after that if it doesn't improve sorry our relationship's going to be over Royal Caribbean
the food tastes nice actually the pasta the mac and cheese is really hot and really cheesy and delicious
all in all a pretty good meal so I also got the crab cake where I got on Symphony again so much better it was really hot tasty nice big potion nicely cooked as well
