Review summary

The trip itself was great.  Very relaxing.  However the food was awful.  Nothing tasted good.  Poor quality. few selections.  The outdoor BBQ's were decent as well as the mexican buffet.  Too bad they didnt offer that more often.  The movie theatre inside was very uncomfortable and the movie theatre outside was hardly utilized.  It was a 15 day cruise and there could have been more variety instead of playing the same movie over and over.

 

With that being said, the service all over the ship was fantastic.  IF they can just fix the food issue they will be in good shape.

I was on that cruise and agree the food was terrible. The premium restaurants were fantastic. Ate 6 times at one of them.
