Food and Dining

To me the food was not as good as crossing on the Vista in 2016. In the Ocean Plaza they kept serving Cream of Wheat instead of grits!!I was in the Family Harbor and ate breakfast there because you can never find a seat in the Lido buffets.

Ship tip

My only concern was people who got up in the morning, went to Lido and spread theri table games alal over the place. They were there all day. At lunch you could not find a seat. The last day I ended up at the rear of the ship in the cold wind trying to eat. I don't know if it was because it was a cool crossing, but there need to be something done about that. I paid to have a seat to eat.
