Review summary

Every day we had the same food. It should have more varieties. Everything was so salty. Sometimes we could not it certain food because it was too salty. It seem like whoever cooked it, does not even try it. All the soups and most of the fish were over salted. It will be nice to have at least some kind of seafood besides fish. The salads need to be replaced. I have not seen anyone taking it, but it was there everyday. There are a lot of nice salads, but not the ones we had.

It would be great, but every time we had to wait for at least 30 min to check in our daughter in Splash Academy.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Most of the staff was great, but there is a woman who works in buffet. She was making crepes. Unfortunately, I did not get her name, but she is dark skin short and full figured.

Thanks for posting your first review here. The food on cruise ships always seems too salty to me, too. I guess that they want the food to be tasty and not bland. I end up drinking a ton of water. My husband's ankles swell. Now he requests a low sodium diet and he feels better.
