Review summary
The ship itself was nice. Accommodations were nice. The room Steward did a great job! However, the food service at the buffet was crappy, and the food quality was not good! Upon boarding the ship we found that they were not ready for us at the buffet! Very unorganized! All the food was not out yet. Only one side of the buffet was open so we had to stand in long lines. You had to enter and exit the same entrance which made it very congested. People were bumping into each other. Food got spilled. Worst pizza ever tasted! No 24 hour pizza bar or ice cream bar. The upstairs Grill was good! They serve fajitas burgers and chicken. But they were not open for breakfast or dinner! Each morning you stood in a long line to get an omelet and there was only one person on each side cooking omelets for 3,000 people! By the time you got your omelette your wife were friends were done eating! Be water and juice and coffee servers were nowhere to be found! So it was Serve Yourself, Or don't drink a liquid with your meal.
