Ship experiences
Food and Dining
La Strada Grill
I loved loved loved the smoked pulled pork and it’s not something I normally go for. The Mac and cheese was excellent and I loved there being almost no crowd and sitting outside on deck five to eat.
Lido Marketplace
Decent selection and if you go a bit later than noon it’s nice and quiet. I skipped MDR one night and had the same items but at a time that worked better for me. It does need to have a bit more space to maneuver around but that’s not related to food.
24-Hour Room Service
Had room service 4 times. Two simple dinners (chicken fingers and pizza) and two breakfasts. Breakfast they always forgot an item like milk for my cereal or sugar for coffee or a spoon for my cereal - nice workout eating cereal with a fork!!
Canal Grande Restaurant
Good but not great. I think I’m bored with the menu. I do love the Asian chicken featured salad. Wish it was on the menu every night.
Tomodoro
Really really enjoyed the Mexican selections with a bit of Italian twist. Between this and La Strada plus Marco Polo I grew extra chins!
PIzzeria del Capitano
Good, not great but good and again avoiding lunch time - zero wait and exceptionally good crust.
Marco Polo Restaurant
Pasta Bar at lunch? Oh yeah! Excellent!
Onboard Activities
Serenity Adult-Only Retreat
Beautiful except it was the only spot where chair hog rules were never enforced. No honey you can go to Hamilton for seven hours and leave your towel and book - but yet, it happened. Otherwise it’s a beautiful area. Met some super nice people too!
Lido Pool
Too small and too deep for me to feel safe.
