Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Some meals okay, but several times food quality was not acceptable. Served celery on a cheese plate that the "cuts" had turned brown and the celery was very limp and watery. Also, had to be moved as my spouse and I we originally seated at a table for ten. After two days of dining alone we were moved to a table for two.
