Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Dining rooms were very clean had plenty of space for all. I feel the menu could be improved while having people from different parts of the world is something I aplaud! I think that the menu didn’t reflect the communities present, the carnitas were just fried pork, not carnitas really and the steak you served with that gravy? Was not something I had before, plus the selection of meats in the buffet was very scarce, as a cook I know prices are up the roof but you cannot go wrong with chicken, breakfast fast was the best you had because it was something we all related to, and was more of a normal meal. I thank you for offering sugar free choices for desserts

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Mini golf, trivia questions , kareoke, dancing, watched movies relaxed by the pool

Glad you had fun. Trying new dishes is one of the best things about cruising. Don’t be surprised if you see foods prepared differently from what you’re used to. Steak with gravy like Steak Diane is common in Europe. Also don’t be surprised that some meals prepared ahead of time for thousands of people are not always as good as made to order restaurant quality. Just remember, if you don’t like it, order something else. If you eat something you don’t like on a cruise ship, it’s your fault. They would rather you try something else than have a complaint about a food you didn’t like.
