Review summary

So I prefer Ventura to Azura however I was a little disappointed with the buffet service. It was empty every time we visited. I don't eat that much at the buffet but there was just empty trays that should contain food. No plates were available. I had to wait for one for about 10 minutes. The staff all looked so unhappy which makes unhappy customers. Apart from that we had a good holiday but it's what you make it yourselves 😃

No worries I feel the buffet in most ships are hot and cold but I'm going to try the continental breakfast in our cabin at the end of the year and see how that goes âºï¸

Hi Paul was it just the buffet that let you down experience wise?

Krissyboi I think it's down to the fact I felt short changed. Im sure if I went in a weeks cruise or longer I would have a different opinion.

you might find adjusting your meal time by just 1/2 hr may help. but i guess if your on a 2-3 day cruise you may not have time to consider this

Have found the buffet to be a bit hit and miss, particularly if there's a sudden rush, sometimes there can be a wait for replenishment of food and crockery.

I loved Azura as I have been on her a few times and I'm on Ventura at the end of the year. So what makes you choose Ventura over Azura outta curiosity? Thanks Kris âºï¸
