Review summary
We had a great time. We much preferred Alaska to Hawaii. No desire to go to Hawaii again. Made many new friends from all over. At the end of the day a cruise is what you make of it. The Spirit is an older ship that has been refurbished and she is really nice.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Le Bistro
This is by far our favorite restaurant on the ship. The food is fantastic and the service is top notch. The manager, Mathi, manages both Le Bistro and the Local and does an amazing job. By far the hardest working person I saw on the ship.
Windows (Main Dining Room)
The food served in both MDR’s lacked variety and taste. I am not a picky eater but there were nights I just went to the local for a burger as the menu was so unappealing. No diversity at all. The service was horrendous also. It took an hour and a half to eat a meal. I believe the problem is with the kitchen as most servers were waiting for food to be brought up. A lot of people were complaining.
Onda by Scarpetta
Very good.
Garden Cafe
I have to say the food selection was the worst of any cruise I have been on.
Cagney's Steakhouse
Delicious as always.
