I get your point about the food. I have found the breakfasts to be marginal at best. However, lunches and dinners in my experience could actually be very good, particularly when I stayed with my favorites, the cheeseburger at lunch and the steak and seafood option at dinner.

One point that was not discussed in the article is the skeletal staff in the diners, and the occasional bad attitudes that they display. This last point in particular has caused many passengers to declare “never again”, when it comes to future travel on AMTK.
