RCCL implementing fees for Johnny Rockets
They claim that they can't have steak knives because children could get hurt
(what an excuse)!!! But that "ranch steak" needs more than a steak knife. . .. a chain saw perhaps :-) "JBDarmo" wrote in message news:J7Y6c.45347$JL2.586202@attbi_s03... "MZT" wrote in message ... I don't know if you have been aboard a Voyager class RCCL ship lately, but the steak served in the dining room as the "alternate choice" is not fit for human consumption. Overall, I could not say that the food on this class of ship (and I have been on four of the five) is "really GOOD to exquisite". The Chops Grille serves the only dinners that can be considered anything but institutional. The rest is not all horrible, but not much better than Applebee's. "Paul" wrote in message ... Sad to say, yes- those with less refined tastes are getting aboard as well. On the other hand, they get a chance to eat really GOOD to exquisite food on a cruise- they ought to take a break from their McDonald's (whoops- JR's) for just a week. Not only would it be an education for their taste buds, it would be tremendously better for their overall health. (Well, at least in-as-much as a week of 'good-eatin' could!) Most fast food chains should probably carry a warning label on the door! It could have been far worse- RCCL could have installed Applebee's on their ships! Now there's a disaster. (Only restaurant that I've ever been in that made a porterhouse steak taste absolutely awful! According to most food-physics books, this is impossible- but not at Applebees. "eatin' good in the neighborhood" indeed. blech.) My wife and I will never darken their door again. -- Cheers, Paul Latin phrase to live by: "Illegitimis nil carborundum" I know what you mean!! I had the "ranch steak" one night on the Mariner 3 wks ago. The thing still had the whip marks on it! g I asked our waiter for a steak knife, and she said that THIS was the steak knife....sheesh.. Joe "M PELUSO" wrote in message ... With the growth of the industry's capacity the cabins have to be filled. With the amount of fine dining aficionados being a finite number, more and more of the "McDonald's RULES" crowd will be on the ships, and the lines have to cater to demand. Period. It's not real good on the cruise ships either- frankly I'm astonished that there's people here stating that the food is better at JR's then in the main dining rooms or the Windjammer! I guess we're talking the McDonald's RULES crowd? __________________________________________________ ________ PIEDMONT CRUISES Mike Peluso - Cruise Vacation Specialist 800-707-4008 919-303-3333 |

in no
less). They claim to be a different experience in cruising. . .so why are they following the other cruise lines? Because Carnival's Mickey Arisson was poking fun at RCI's profit margins versus his own, stating bluntly, that it indicated HE was the superior businessman! Apparently Richard Fain took it to heart, thus signaling the start of the nickel and dime era at RCI! Cruising is like being awake, and dreaming! Visit my cruise page: http://parnami.tripod.com/ |

most sugar free and low carb products have more calories then the regular! and calories do count!!! me, i'll take less of the real thing, then a little of something "free" or "low" Sheree, I just happened to read an article yesterday that compared some low carb products with their sugar free counterparts. It turns out that they both had about the same amount of carbs but the sugar free versions were roughly 1/2 the price. I'm with you though. I'd rather enjoy less of a good thing than more of the phony stuff. Warren |

Hi Warren:
Perhaps you have reached the same conclusion that I have, that in almost all things quality is much more important than quantity. Cal Ford Lido Deck Cruises In article , Warren H. Davis says...

did it compare the calories in the sugar free and low carb products to the
real stuff? they seem to have more fat and calories to make up for the lack of sugar etc and attempt to give it taste!! most people on atkins, etc once they start to eat normal, the weight comes back. it's all about moderation. I can see doing one of the diets short term to jump start weight loss but not for the long haul -- Sheree "Warren H. Davis" wrote in message om...
