Our Jan cruise will be on ASCENT.
Based on that article we fear what they may do to BLU..with regard to design, format and menus. We are in AQuaclass, and are ( were.? ) really looking forward to being in BLU again after not liking Luminae on BEYOND. Too late to change that assignment.
We are also booked at EDEN for the first time. We just want the regular menu..no pairing with wine ,no tasting menu and no vegan tasting. If we hear it is downgraded, we can cancel that.
Next cruise after ASCENT will be on APEX..SV with 4 mdr plan...we favor Tuscan and Cyprus...and hope the basics will still be available and well prepared.
Decided not to look for any cruises for awhile...we'll see how it develops...Hope not down to Royal C level..Their restaurants at any level cannot compare..so far!
