This ship and "freestyle" cruising is very different but can work well if you use it to your advantage.
First, you need to understand where all the places are to eat. Second, there are two that do not require a cover charge but require a reservation. This was a pain. Make your reservations early in the week, because you will soon find that even though the menus do not change, they become the favorites. Next, finding the restaurants is an adventure in itself. They are not so well marked, and then you never know what the menu will consist of without going around to all of the places and looking.
I finally decided that it was quicker and easier to just eat at the Garden Cafe which is a buffet. They do not serve the same thing at part of this buffet, so if you don't want to miss something special, you will need to walk all around the cafe to find the best entrees.
