Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Jamie's Italian

4 out of 5

Went twice and had solid Italian. I was disappointed in the tiramisu as they use lemon zest rather than alcohol. I recommend the homemade pasta!

Windjammer Marketplace

4 out of 5

Solid buffet food and lots of choices. Very enjoyable for breakfast.

Wonderland

Solid seafood and good service.

Chop's Grille

Our favorite food venue. Dined there 3 times and all three were excellent. If you get Oleksandr as your waiter you won’t be disappointed.
