Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

The main dining room food was good , but not was good as it has been in the past. Not a lot of different choices for breakfast and seemed the bacon was never on the buffet. Was very disappointed in the muffins they are usually a lot better in the buffet.

Yes, we were looking for Key West also as we were on the same cruise. As for the bacon in the lido restaurant, it’s every other day. I agree about the food in the MDR. Hope your next cruise is better
