Review summary

Itinerary was great. Too many tender stops but that is not the cruise line's fault. MDR food was lacking in taste and speed, Specialty dining was good. Was really surprised about how great the weather was in Ireland.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Service in mainlining room was very slow as it took 90 minutes to receive main course. In addition, we had to track down the server for drink refills. He was covering 5 tables by himself.

Service and Staff

bar tenders and waiters were very quick to submit, prepare, and deliver drink orders. Room attendants and main dining room waiters seemed over extended.

The main dining room is never fast food. Think of it as an activity where you can relax, enjoy conversation with your table-mates, and eat without being rushed. If you don’t have two hours then go to the buffet for a quick meal.

So looking forward to Dublin and Belfast next May! Having spent a couple of years in the UK I know how fickle the weather can be. Thanks for your review!
