Review summary

The ship Is magnificent , the Ship director Geoff was amazing , over all for the food I was a little disappointed , Being a platinum Member on Carnival (over 100 sailings ) I often heard how Royal Caribbean was far superior when it came for food , So maybe my expectations were to high , but it was not what I was expecting , I would have to go as far and that I prefer Carnivals food better , the Carnival steakhouses versus Chops , Carnivals menu presentation and quality far superior , Carnivals Guys Hamburgers (FREE) hands down better that RC Johnny rockets (Fee). I enjoyed the Izumi Japanese grill good food and fun. Pizza was good but Carnivals better , but with this said no one comes close to MSC , when it comes to Pizza and Pasta .
