As we have all said, food is very subjective: that being said, overall the freestyle concept is very popular. That is why other lines are now turning to some form of freestyle. HAL is testing it starting January, Princess already has personal choice and rumors are a couple other lines may experiment with flexible dining. thus I don't think it is freestyle that is the problem, but perhaps the menus or the cheifs. I say this to those who have been unhappy with the food. Many are very satisfied. As for operating the specialty restaurants on a first come, first serve basis, that would refeat the purpose of the upscale dining experience. No line does that for their specialty dining rooms. Of course reservations have to be required unless one chooses to eat after 9pm. NMNIta
