My wife, myself, and twentysome of her relatives just came back from the May 12th sailing of NCL's Dawn. This was a fifth NCL cruise, but first freestyle cruise. And while we liked a lot about NYC as a departure port, and the ship itself, we were very disappointed with the food service.

It seems as if the food quality was decreased, in order to encourage people to try the extra cost rooms (there were some nights that OLDER family members couldn't find anything on the menu) ! The waiters were surly, and the dining room disorganized. Even with a late start, meals often took three hours. And I wasn't impressed that the extracost rooms were consistantly worth the price.
