I used to go to Wendy’s for the cold frosties and the warm soda. Until one day they took my digital order only to lock the doors before I got there. Not everyone drives. No refund. No answer from customer service. Now I go to McDonalds. Edited August 9, 2022 by zitsky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have stayed away from the beef carving station at the Oceanview as I found it tough. But it is a good workout eating it. 😀 If you want excellent beef, splurge for a Specialty Restaurant. Actually, he could pound the beef before eating it... or ask for it to be warmed up again after beating it tender...

cruiseerf Posted August 9, 2022 #59 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Celebrity has a "cost cutting initiative" happening as do most of the other cruiselines. They are all trying to survive. The more Expensive Celebrity ships are getting better food quality.....The older ships have lesser food quality and slow internet.....If you go from Apex or Beyond to Connie or Infinity...it is almost like a different cruiseline.

I always had leg of lamb on Celebrity. Not daily but 1-2x a week. They usually serve it with apple sauce or mint jelly and it's delicious.

Quiet. Fewer guests so staff are very attentive. Never had to wait long for wine to be topped off. Yes, steaks, lamb, lots of tasty options. Maybe not the flair of the dining room, but I also felt comfortable dressed very casually and plenty of window seats! (You know, night 9 or so in a 12-night, and you just don't want to get dressed up again...until you realize it's almost over night 10 or 11! 😂) All that said, and to the OP, I do hope they offer more than chicken. Although I must say, I had the most tasty, moist, herb and lemon roasted chicken in the Oceanview cafe. Can't agree more. Sometimes I'm just fed up with the BLU/MDR dance and want to eat in peace at my own pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having it with apple sauce, mashed potatoes and carrots makes a nice lunch at the buffet. As for dinner in the buffet, I have been surprised by the quality of the ribeye. It is grilled to your order. And it is really quiet up there and I can dress very casually. What also brings us to dinner there is the theme nights from various countries. There was a Greek night that was really special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redtravel Posted August 9, 2022 #64 Share Posted August 9, 2022 On Summit in June. Food was good. On the MDR menu, there were lots of beef options. On 2 evenings, roast beef was on the menu. Ate it both times. It was delicious. Portions were very generous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one day....plus the Summit is currently on a 12 day Iceland cruise. It's sold out and the few left available last week were selling for roughly $9500pp for a balcony stateroom.
