Kathy, I agree, TGIF ambience has no place on a luxury cruise. We're lucky here in Toronto to be able to avoid chains like that, although I have happily eaten there in Baltimore and Dover, Delaware. But the whole idea of a Radisson dining room done like that makes me shudder. Not trying to be a snob, I cherish the little bit of luxury we get on these occasional cruises. Same reason we would avoid large ships--if we want to go to a mall, we can drive to the suburbs, no reason to pay big bucks for it!
