Do you find the food quality to be better on a cruise that is 7 days or longer? I have been on a lot of 4 day cruises and I noticed a difference bewteen the food quality on that cruise and the 14 day cruise I just took. Is it my imagination?

I believe it is your imagination. I have been on short and long cruises and the food has always been great. If the cruiselines served a lower quality on the shorter cruises, then the customers would not choose to go to the longer ones with the same line.

On a shorter cruise the cruise line has less of a chance to redeem themselves. On a 4 day if you have one bad dining room experience and 3 good ones you are more likely to remember that one bad experience. On a 14 day cruise if you only have one bad dining room experience and 13 good ones you are more likely to think of the food overall as being good.

On our recent 5 day, the food was definitely not as good as we are used to on cruises. But, I think a lot depends on the sous chef on board. I used to be friends with one and the difference is much like different chefs on land. Some are just better than others, even using the same ingredients. Sadly, this one seemed to be unfamiliar with any seasonings other than salt.

Sorry Katlady, I have to agree it may be your imagination and maybe because on a 4 day cruise everything is exciting and crammed into a short experience.
But, if you see the same things, people, and the variety of food for 14 or 21 days, it could change your opinion. It’s maybe not that the food quality is different, but maybe as an individual in this experience you or me find as the days go on,,,, its not quite as exciting. Personally, I can call on that one, as there are only so many nights that I can do in the dining room even on a 14 night job. I get to the point that having eaten so much for 9 nights, I just want ' a snack’ be it buffalo wings or pizza., my gut can no longer face 2 or 5 courses 8) But I have that choice given alternative dining |

I agree the shorter cruises have the same items on the buffets every morning and the quality of the food over all is less than a 7 day cruise in my opinion. I also found the midnight buffets were not as impressive as on a 7 day. I took several pictures of the midnight buffets on the 7 day and none on the 4 day.

I love pictures of buffets, but there is only so many I can eat. They dont appear to taste like the real thing.

7 day cruise - looks 10 plus taste an 8 1/2
4 day cruise - looks 6 1/2 taste 6. In all fairness though I only tried a few things at midnight It's not a very good time to eat! |
