Review summary

Everything was fine for us except debarkation put a big damper on a relaxing vacation. MDR needs a menu overhaul. The food lacked taste and tiny portions. The specialty restaurants were spot on

Sorry your debarkation sucked, but sounds pretty normal to me. Especially when you self assist. As more and more peoole try to do that, the wait has become rediculas!
