Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

We didn’t like the small cramped area where we had to wait for the dining room to open. We were all dressed up and sweating and felt like we were suffocating it was so hot. The food was ok and some of it was good. It was NOT cool that the cheers program doesn’t start until day 2. Everyone seemed surprised by that. A real disappointment!! I don’t think making everyone buy the drink package if one buys is fair either. I understand why you do it, but it out case, my husband rarely drinks but I pretty much made him drink just to make sure we didn’t waste money.
