Royal Caribbean Inks Culinary Partnership

[Jason]

Royal Caribbean International is partnering with the American Culinary Federation, Inc. (ACF) to develop a culinary training and certification program for the cruise line's senior culinary professionals. The program will offer continuing education to nearly 100 senior executive chefs, executive chefs and executive sous chefs. Throughout the program, Royal Caribbean chefs will perfect their preparation and service skills, concentrating on attention to detail, taste, nutritional value, food safety and overall guest satisfaction. They will also undergo a series of examinations following each session to earn their official ACF certification. Senior chefs who participate will share information from each course with their own culinary staffs. Royal Caribbean has a total culinary team of 4,200 employees, including the stewarding crew on 19 ships, as well as a shore-side culinary department. (SY)

This is good news, indeed! The one thing that I have always found to be poor, aboard Royal Caribbean, was the food quality. Surpsing, since its subsidiary line, Celebrity, is my favorite, as far as the food goes.

I gave up on Royal Caribbean after three cruises on the line, but may give it a try, again if things improve,
