Review summary

For my very first cruise, here are my thoughts:

1. Food options in the dining area were limited. I ended up eating at the buffet everyday after the first 2 days.

2. Was totally unaware that even nonalcoholic beverages, such as juices had a cost.

3. There were a lot of activities (every minute of the day) to do on the ship and the staff was very helpful and friendly.

Food and Dining

For someone who doesn't eat seafood, the dining room options were extremely limited. It was the same type of chicken every night.

Sorry you didn't enjoy it as much as I did, lol! Next time, the bubbles package is very cheap and includes juices 😃

Did you explore all the options to eat? There were so many! The Deli had great sandwiches, I heard the pizza was good, Mongolian wok was my favorite and I ate there a lot! Not a fan of the Indian food but at least tried it and the rotisserie chicken place was fabulous! I didn't eat at the buffet once the whole trip! Breakfast is always good in the dining room and Sea Day Brunch is a must!
