Review summary

Mikahl in Chops was terrible; the couple next to us ordered appetizers, then said they were still deliberating on entrees, and he told them that they had to order NOW, and that the menus were needed.


Ontay in American Icon was terrible. The table wasn't set when we were seated (at 8:35), he didn't greet us or introduce himself, or explain the night's selections, he brought my wife's soup and appetizer AT THE SAME TIME, he didn't clear our entrée plates before handing us the dessert menu, he didn't pour the cream into the soufflé, he brought my wife's coffee in a BREAKFAST mug instead of a cup and saucer, and the waiters were putting breakfast jelly on the surrounding tables at 9:45, when people were still eating! 


The Hostess at Chops was gruff and unwelcoming.

 

The show times were scrambled or cancelled with no explanation, my reservations weren't shown on my TV, room service couldn't be ordered from the TV, the art auction listed on time on their flyer and a different time in the Compass, we received another art auction invitation wit NO date listed (?), three of the fine dining restaurants were closed at various times for private functions. My 3-night dining plan said that the first reservation would automatically be scheduled the first or second night, but it wasn't.

I am on ship right now, have eaten at Chops on 3 different ships. There is NO WAY ANYONE can say their food is not up to par. Oasis specialty restaurants best I have gone to.

I understand their frustration on food, service in food areas. But what about other stuff. And food is so low on the totem pole for me. Usually don't even go to dinner in the restaurant. I was wondering about things to do on the ship. Entertainment, port stops, layout of the ship, their cabin.

banaford. Food is the fundamental basics of life. Most holiday makers choose cruises on the priority of Food, Services and Entertainments (probably in that order!), any one of the essentials lacking will result frustrations!

I understand food is a very important thing for you, to make good vacation. But, besides food and food service, how was the ship and cruise?
