Review summary
Had a really good time. Wish I had the restaurant package because the MDR was not enjoyable. Overall found the cruise to be a relaxing vacation and would recommend it.Embarkation

Awful. Food was not good at all. We usually really enjoy MDR but this time it was a big fail. Last sea day we went to the brunch and I ordered six begneits but they brought twelve by mistake. I said I only ordered six so the waiter said he would let the manager know so they could adjust the charge. The head waitress showed up and asked if it was ok to charge me for twelve since they brought twelve. I said no because I had only ordered six. So she said they’d “have to take the rest” (there were six left on the plate) and she took the plate that we’d been eating from. How weird! It’s not like they can serve them to anyone else. Oddest experience I’ve had on a cruise.
Chibang!
Really good. Went twice and got things from both sides of the menu.
