Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We mainly done specialty dining in Chops and Jamies Itallian which was amazing. We also visited Wingjamer which was perfect. Although i have to say the food and service in the main dining room was awful.

CAnt be perfect when there are 1000s of people on a boat and staff doing the best they can for little pay, also we all going on a cruise are very privileged as there are people in the world who go to bed without a meal even
