Review summary

I enjoyed myself very much as far as the cruise went. I would like to express the service in the main dining was the only exception, service was good, however the dinners were always served late and not in order of meal planning. Appetizers came out with salads, Dinners came before salads were finished, Drinks did not get filled on time or properly. The break for entertainment should be done after all tables get the main course, several tables around us each dinner was already eating main course and finished before OUR table 210 was served.

It seems as though this was your first cruise, and I'm sorry you were disappointed. Was that every night? We've cruised 11 times, and on the Elation (5-10 Sept.) I mentioned to my wife that I still marvel at how organized and efficient that the main dining rooms/ galleys have to be to serve hundreds and hundreds of guests multi course diners in that short of time. It's very difficult.

I was actually going to comment exactly opposite about the dining room. With the exception of night one, the main dining room was exceptional - same table, late dining, imagination. It's very difficult to get everyone's food out at the same time when people get there at different times. Just our experience, I know everyone's is different.
