Thank you Wayne. My assistant in the office wants to go on a cruise, and I am trying to find her a more affordable line than Radisson, but not with the 2,000 pax aboard. Your review was very good and personal from your perspective. I am trying to figure out which of your problems she would even notice as a first time cruiser who had no experience with Radison. She and hubby are non-smokers, don't drink much, and not having experience with other lines, don't know about entertainment and such. The service problems you encountered in the Dining Room are not new to me. Even on Radisson, after several cruises where Filet Mignon had ALWAYS on the Simplicity menu before, on about my 6th cruise, suddenly it was not. I was insistent (knowing of course that this is a staple on the ship) and got that "let me see if I can convince the chef" response from the waiter. It irked me. To this day, if nothing on the menu looks good, and I've already done the salmon thing, I push for filet mignon with Bearnaise. Thank you for posting, every one we hear from who comes back and is that honest is a help to all of us.
