Carnival considers main dining room change Royal Caribbean made

Big-ship cruises, with their thousands of passengers, double-digit deck plans, and mazes of corridors, aren’t for everyone. But with all that space comes a whole lot of dining options. I spent the last week of May onboard the brand new Princess Cruises ship the Sun Princess, a 21-deck cruise ship that can accommodate 4,300 guests and is billed as “The Greatest Foodie Destination at Sea.” During my seven-day Mediterranean sailing, I tried every specialty restaurant on the ship but one (The Catch by Rudi, a restaurant devoted to seafood), as well as some of the more casual food venues. Here is my ranking of the six (out of seven) specialty restaurants I tried, my reviews of the other dining venues, and everything you need to know before you sit down for a meal at any of them.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
