Serenade was a beautiful ship. Staff was friendly. The food in the dining room was lousy, though. I only had one good meal there. Other nights we went to Chops and Portofino's and the food there was excellent!

Captain did a beautiful sail by Monseuraut (excuse my spelling) and did a 360 degree turn in the crater of the Pitons in St. Lucia. Amazing!!!!!!!

Other than the food...even the Seaview Cafe was not that great. Burgers and fries there were good but chicken fingers were dry. The Windjammer was OK for breakfast. I enjoyed it but they could have had a little bit more variety. For lunch, the buffets were blah. Carnival does a great lunch buffet everyday. Was disappointed since Royal used to be exceptional in the food category. Read more
