Review summary

The ship was very clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable except in the dining rooms where they frequently didn't know the ingredients of a dish (breaded or not? - c'mon, just look down!). The food in the dining rooms and buffets was always overcooked and dry...and boring.

A real waste of good ingredients.

clean, well maintained but no ice in the ice bucket, no coffee for the coffee maker

Ship tip

Very slow check in at Tampa - give yourself extra time to board. Although slow and with poor food quality, use the dinning rooms -- the buffet is the same overcooked food but super crowded and disorganized,

It is hard to believe that the servers could not tell you how a dish is cooked. They should have gone into the kitchen and gotten the answer. I always eat in the MDR unless I get a reward of a dinner in a specialty restaurant. Gloria
