Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Food was the worst I have ever had on a cruise. If this had been my first cruise I would never go on another one. Almost all of the food was served cold and had issues with flavor or texture. Both specialty restaurants had issues (Raw steak when Medium was ordered in Crown Grill, crunchy lasagna and risotto in Sabatinis). Just gross.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Room steward was fantastic, but the poor servers were overworked as there was a noticeable drop in the number of servers on the ship compared with previous cruises.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

too many places where you had to go up a floor and then back down to get to restaurants.

I wonder if crew were out sick. We sailed on her week before and it was great-ie, food and crew. But we came home with Covid. We are scheduled to go back again on her. Thanks for your review and so sorry you didn’t enjoy.

Disappointing to read. I am very much looking forward to my sailing on discovery in October. We know many people who have sailed on her. They all loved it. Can you please be more specific or are you just overly critical? Did you request your food to be re-cooked?
