Mounds, I agree, and particularly for food, opinions are so subjective. When I was on the Silversea Shadow for the first time, I was such a loyal RSSC fan that I was looking for any negative I could find (the reason I remember this is because I just posted a link to that review on another thread). After two days, all that left me and I went on to having one of my best cruises ever because of the itinerary! One can always find a negative on any cruise, in any hotel or restaurant when you are looking for it. Especially when the weather is bad.

The more prolific posters here (I among them) are pretty picky. They like things to be just like their last wonderful impression of an RSSC cruise. So, for anyone reading this as a first time cruiser on the PG, I would say, board with an attitude that you are going to have a great time in (no arguments here) one of the most beautiful spots on earth, and you cannot help but have a great time!
