Food and Dining
Washington Dining Room
The waitstaff service was fine. No major issues about them. However, the food, both in its taste and in the portions, was very underwhelming and sub-par While nothing we ate at the diner was completely awful, they do not meat any common standard for what can pass as "fine dining." After my wife and I received the food we ordered, we both had a look of disappointment upon receiving the items. Not only was the presentation average (at best), the portions were small (we were able to finish the appetizers in about 2-3 bites and the entrees in about 4-5 bites) and the taste was far from outstanding. After dining there for the first two nights, we spent our remaining time on the cruise eating in the Buffet on the 9th floor.
