Review summary

I’ve cruise many times in the past but this was definitely the worst owing mainly to the horrible food. No matter what I tried I could not find food that was warm or tasty it was all cold bland and mostly inedible

The food was cold bland and mostly inedible. Most of the time I just went hungry and I actually lost weight on this cruise.

Isn’t it Virgin or Carnival or one of those that has McDonald’s or some fast food outlets? Maybe you’d be happier there.

I have sailed on this ship twice this year and didn’t experience any of your issues
