First the bad news. The trip got shortened by one day due to a crane incident in a dry dock. Unfortunately, a decision was made to skip Nassau and just go to Port Canaveral and their private island. Unless you are taking an excursion somewhere in Port Canaveral, or plan to rent a car, there is not much to do there. The private island is really a joke. More on that later.

Now the good news. The food service and quality was top-notch. The restaurants are very nicely done. The menu in the two free restaurants has enough variety, including appetizers, soup, main courses and desert. The coffee was hot and very good. Even in the buffet, the food was very good, with enough choices for almost anyone. I had fresh omelets and eggs done the way I want. There is fresh fruit, french toast, waffles, and much, much more. Lunch buffets included excellent skirt steak, carved rack of lamb, and tons of other food. You get juice and iced tea for free, but pay two bucks for soda.

In the main restaurants, the wait service was excellent. Cloth napkins were placed on our laps, water was brought out, and the menus were handed to us. The food was hot, tasty and done right. We ate in two specialty restaurants, Chin Chin and Teppenyaka. The prices were $15 and $25, and well worth it! Everything that me and my fiance ordered was excellent, and we know a thing or two about eating out. We even got to come back after a show to have desert and coffee, as we had to leave to get a good seat. Read more
