Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the Horizon court for breakfast especially when we needed to have an early breakfast. Plenty of options from cereal to cooked brekky. Staff we amazing coming over and offering to get us orange juice, water, tea and coffee. For dinner we went to Bernini’s. Due to me having special dietary needs they were amazing from the start with us ensuring they knew I had special dietary requirements. Our head waiter Plamen ensured I was taken care of and had something to eat each day. Our wait staff Juvy got to know us well also. They were alll kind, happy and helpful.
