Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Food in main dining room for dinner was bland. Sometimes dried out and tasteless. Breakfast was good. Lunch in buffet was ok. Pizza and deli was good. Asian food was good. Guys burgers and iguana was good. Just average.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Stage show was good. The comedians were not! Boring stories, that weren’t funny. The piano bar singer was good. The best entertainment was the violin players, unfortunately they played in the small atrium, so you had to stand along railing to listen. They were so good that they should have had a venue!

Thank you for your review and I agree the food at MDR is not verry good. Also buffet at dinner is not verry good-not much choice if you prefer healthy food. We di enjoy the lunch buffet or just eat in the ports.

I’m glad you enjoyed the itinerary for your cruise. We have enjoyed all of our cruises but we do pick them based more on their itinerary than the ship. Thank you for taking the time to share your review. 😎🚢☀️🩴🏝🪸🐠🌺
