Great Ship

Izumi Hibachi & Sushi

Don't waste your $$ on Izumi Hibachi. The room is small & 3 large tables of people are crowded in, causing it to be loud & stressful. For what you pay, the value is not there. We did Izumi Sushi on another ship and it was great. Also a lower price than Hibachi. These two venues are different and should not be combined in one review.

Samba Grill

I gave it a 3 stars due to excellent food quality& excellent service but the location is awful. It is the Solarium Bistro in the day which is a buffet restaurant and all they do is change the name to Samba in the evening. We did Samba on other ship where it was its own stand alone restaurant and we enjoyed it much better.

Sabor

The Margaritas & Guacamole, in our opinion, were more than awful. More additives in guacamole than avocado. Margarita is mostly sugar mix. The Garlic Tiger Shrimp and Steak were excellent. Our server went over and above but we still don't feel the food quality is any better than Main Dining Room that is included in price of cruise. Would not go to Sabor again.

Diamond Lounge

Now called Crown Lounge as of late 2023. Francisco Luna, the Concierge, was more than amazing. He goes over & above. Quality of dinner buffet is dwindling down as compared to pre-pandemic times. Most items are fried & desserts are easy to pass up.

Coastal Kitchen

Coastal Kitchen is far superior to Main Dining Rooms although over the last couple of cruises we can see the quality has gone down vs pre-pandemic. The service is still outstanding. Our server, Nacer, went over and above.

Concierge Lounge

Known as Suite Lounge on Allure, located adjacent to Coastal Kitchen. We can see the quality of the dinner appetizers dwindling downward. It is rare to see Chocolate Strawberries or many unfried items. The dessert selection was easy to pass by most nights.
