Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
OK but poor choices for vegetarian. Not enough protein choices. When I asked, I was told there are eggs. Can't eat eggs for every meal. A couple of days there was tofu but the portions were tiny. Salad and veg are abundant but the lack of veggie protein not great.

Ship tip

She's a tired old girl and needs some love. Treat the staff well, they work very hard. Average food unless you pay to eat although the tapas was very good.
