Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Great Gatsby Dining Room
Ritcheel, Putra, and Ketut were the best on deck 5! But Chops Grille could not cook a steak, burger, or shrimp correctly if given explicit directions! And look carefully at your wine glasses when you go to Izum! I had a filthy glass and was still charged for the wine (and the stuck on food did not make it taste any better).
Pool Bar
Watered down. Charge $2 for a glass of warm water. And don’t anticipate getting any thing cold to drink if you go sunning on deck 10, the waitstaff does not come up there.
Schooner Bar
Now that they know how to make Green Goddesses!!!
