Food is such a large part of cruising that for many it defines a cruise line with so much emphasis being put on the dining experience with cruising. The main dining rooms in the evening often have dressed codes as well as fixed time to eat, but it always seems to makes for an enhanced experience when everybody abides to the dress codes. In my day to day life I don’t have many opportunities to wear an evening dress so really enjoy the whole rigmarole of getting dressed up for a formal evening.
Then to the food, when we speak to customers on their return to see whether or not they enjoyed their cruise, food is always mentioned and can really swing a passenger’s opinion on the whole cruise experience. Every year here at cruise.co.uk we commission a survey through our website to see who offers the best excursions, entertainment and cabins for example. We of course have a bes food category and the results from last year’s poll were as follows:
1st Queen Victoria
2nd Oceana
3rd Queen Mary 2
4th Ventura
5th Celebrity Eclipse
6th Azura
7th Adventure of the Seas
8th Arcadia
9th Thomson Celebration
10th Independence of the Seas
Out of the top ten I have been on 6 of the ships and I think I would rank the ones I have been on in a different order. The Queen Victoria would be top for me if we were including speciality restaurants as the Todd English experience I had was without a doubt the best meal I have had at sea. However as I have not eaten in all the specialty restaurants of the other ships it is only fair to compare main dining room to main dining room. My ratings would be as follow:
1st Azura
2nd Celebrity Eclipse
3rd Ventura
4th Queen Victoria
5th Queen Mary 2
6th Independence of the Seas
Of all the main dining rooms I have ever eaten in the best by a long mile for me has to be the Oceania Insignia! Where for you offers the best on board dining experience……….
