Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Taste and Savor were slow and often messed up the orders for breakfast, Manhattan Room was excellent both times we had dinner there! La Cucina, service slow and rude. Ocean Blue outstanding service but cold food. Maderno service ok but meat overcooked and Le Bistro had the best service and very good food. Buffet was very good
