Ginny,
I find your comment pertaining to "itty bitty cost cutters" on our cruise interesting.
Alan and I had a very different experience on our sailing. We found dining quality and choices to be excellent. We were especially impressed with the wide array of seafood offerings - frequency and selection were superb. So many dining options/choices, all of which were as good, if not better, than we experienced last time on Voyager. Lots of rack of lamb, beef wellington, filet mignon, etc. for the non-seafood eaters. The variety was outstanding.
In our opinion, the only thing to be improved upon was the coffee. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experiences. We didn't notice any cost-cutting. In fact, I think Voyager/RSSC outdid themselves on BRAVO. Everything flowed abundently and freely; and than included drinks and hors d'oeuvres served at all the cocktail parties.
