My suggestion would be to have Caribbean chef cooking actual Caribbean food on this Caribbean food. You can tell they arent in the kitchen.

I am NOT a picky eater but had to eat food off the ship daily because the food was so bad. Wish i could show pictures. I would have given food 0 stars if i could.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

My wait staff were INCREDIBLE. We met some great people on this cruise. Krisdianto, Marlon and Oliver were Grade A in the dining room. Along with another young cocktail server Joanne who worked the comedy club and lido deck. They would be the ONLY reason i would take this cruise again. You guys did a great job hiring that team. And can't stop speaking about them. Joanne made a lasting impression.

@cbyron3 just because it says its "Caribbean Food" doesnt mean that it tastes anything like it. When you or your family are from the Caribbean, you can spot the difference and it's sort of insulting. They should instead call it "Caribbean Inspired/Twist Food"

The food on the fascination in June was amazing. As a devout foody, I have to say it was among the best in the fleet. Our travel companions felt the same way. Must have changed out the staff since then. There was a Caribbean selection under the port of call each night.
