Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Very disappointing. They seem to be pushing passengers to spend extra money on specialty restaurants if they want the quality of food that was previously available in the main dining areas.

My wife and I were on that ship in October for 28 days the South Pacific Cruise. As much as I hate to say it the food was terrible throughout the entire cruise in the main dining rooms. Everything seem to be over-salted mainly the soups. No matter how many times we told them about it it never got any better.

We were on it a few months ago (December) and enjoyed the food, but then again, we have low standards as to what makes us appreciate our food...
