Review summary

Food on the Lido deck was simply not good.  Food in the dining room was better but it was just marginal.  The assistant waiter was great.  Unfortunately, our head waiter was not. Orders were incorrect and it took forever to get our food.  We had the late 8:15 dinner service and did not get out till maybe 10:45 each night which forced us to miss a lot of evening entertainment.

 

Cabin was OK and the cabin service was great.

 

Activities were nothing special.

 

Guest services staff were very helpful.

 

If good food is your thing, I would go elsewhere.

 

We unfortunately experienced a medical emergency with a family member while on board and I can not say enough great things about the medical staff.

Oh I agree completely. We totally enjoy the dining room but the slowness was little excessive this time around compared to previous cruises.

The main dining room is great to spend quality time catching up with family after a long day of running around. We enjoy that part of the day

We had very good food on the Dream as well. However, we also had the same issue of having a minimum 1.5-2 hour dinners each night in the MDR. We love the dinning room so we went every night but by the end of the week it was wearing on us.

Most importantly, I am glad your family member was well taken care of! Yes, dining experience has taken no less than 2 hours and tied us up the same way. Last two cruises, we hardly go to dining room. Lido buffet was really good on Dream, Breeze and Liberty for us. Thank goodness!
