Food and Dining

Stayed away from the buffet I got food poisoning after eating at the buffet. We only ate at the made to order food places (Salty Dog, pizza and cones, and international cafe) Breakfast buffet is terrible, main dining food wasn't great either.

Over priced food and drinks, vendors take advantage of tourist. If you want good street tacos and cheap beer you need to go into town where locals go. If you have small children stay away from the beach where the office and the mango bar is.

All I can say is, after 14 days or 42 meals, I have only thrown out 4 plates of food. May not have eaten everything on every plate, but over all, good to great. Buffet lunch, yea, there is what I consider poor food there, but there is also a lot that is good to great (today, roast beef carved off of a full haunch of beef....YUMMM). No reports of sickness, except a few from eating ashore.

Buffet was good, not great, but good. Just finished breakfast there. I will admit, we do prefer the MDR.

Hmmm....two reviews in a row with bad food comments. Hope it was just that trip. 12 days until we board for Hawaii.
