Review summary

We enjoyed the cruise but the one thing we did not like was the main dining room experience. The first night we were seated and we waited forever for our waiter. He never came, so we went to the buffet. Funny thing was, every entrée listed on the menu in the main dining room was also available at the buffet. Needless to say, we did not go back to the main dining room.

Why such a low rating for Puerto Rico?

We never eat in the dining room. Very slow between courses. You are correct about the food being just about the same at the buffet.
