Review summary

THE SHIP WAS EXTREMELY OVERCROWDED BUT I WAS IN THE HAVEN WHICH IS VERY PRIVATE. THE MAJOR PROBLEM I HAD WAS THE DINNER FROM THE FIRST NIGHT WAS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. ORDERED FOUR DIFFERENT ENTREES ,THEY WERE SO BAD I WAS FORCED TO ONLY EAT AT THE SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS AND PAY EXTRA. DO NOT GO ON THIS CRUISE IF YOU WANT GOOD FOOD. YOU WILL BE FORCED TO ONLY EAT AT THE SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS AND PAY ALOT MORE MONEY.

Haven restaurant was repetitive for us in Feb since menu didn’t change but only had one meal where we didn’t care for the quality. Tried Cagney’s one night and it was horrible service. Went back to Haven for the rest of our lunches and dinners and enjoyed the atmosphere, service and food.

I am also stunned and getting a little nervous. We set sail this Sunday in the Haven on the Joy and we were also in the Haven on the Joy in October. Food was excellent. I hope they didn’t make changes to the menu since then.

I am stunned by this review because our experience in the Joy Haven was so different, the food was very good to excellent. It was 15 months ago, admittedly. And we like McDonald’s🤭

While the menu in the Haven never changes the main dinning rooms have somthing different every night.
