Review summary

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Okay ship was delayed arriving at port so embarkation was more crowded

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

MDR was good but food preperation seemed to be slipping from previous cruises. JiJi waited a 1/2 hour to be seated then they forgot our order and then decided to seat a large group on either side of us with us in the middle could have easily asked us to move (as they still hadnt served us) Ended up leaving w iwill not utilize them in the future

JiJi Asian Kitchen

1 out of 5

this was crap , they apparently lost our order then the combined tables on either side of us (for a family of 9 )with us in the middle. We ended up leaving unfed and unhappy. they easily could have asked us to move down to allow the large family to sit and this wouldnt have been an issue if we had been served (like thee table next to us who sat down after us and were served and left. I cant comment on the quality of the food as we never tasted it.

Thank you for sharing. My experience was a little different in JIJI but I glad the rest was better than that. Thank you again.
