We experienced the new menus first hand on Explorer b3b. Might have been tolerable had Windjammer not also have been severly downgraded at the same time. We aren't picky but the tastless, mismash of dinner options were sad. I prefer to give honest assessments rather than just post glowing reports BECAUSE one believes others are just complainers. (Nearly 50 cruises on Royal, so I know when food offerings are worse than last year.)
