Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was OK but not what I expected. Optional payment for some of the specialty restaurants was not worth the expense. Hard to get reservations for other restaurants. Desserts espcially seemed to be high priced bakery items - ice cream was best dessert!
