Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

IMO, the food offered in MDR, RoomService and Lunch Buffet was inedible. Room service breakfast was always cold when delivered and lacked any taste except for the “hash browns” which tasted of old grease. We ate in Chops on nights two and three and were fairly pleased with the food. The best part of the whole meal was the steaks themselves while the appetizers and sides were bland. On the second night our server brought us a plate of the shrimp entree along with our steaks and it was phenomenal.

Windjammer Café

Lol, again this was a joke to us. No real shopping venues and a few “specialty” restaurants
