When you talk to people about cruising you hear about how great the food was. That's almost all you hear, it's for sure the first thing people say... Well, this food was disgusting. The first week was shocking...a raw grey hamburger, fishy fish, meat that was subpar, and a salad bar with dirty at times and wilted lettuce. The specialty restaurants (the french Bistro and La Cucina) had dreadful service.
At La Cucina, the waiter had no idea how food was prepared and what a simple steak was marinated in...he told us Soy Sauce...turns out we THINK it might have been marinated in balsamic vinegar. I wanted a plain grilled steak, no marinade and he said that was impossible they were ALL marinated. I ordered a salad with dressing on the side and it came on the side but also ON the salad.
At La Bistro the food was decent, but since the service was so slow our scallops were cold and my swordfish way over cooked.
The cabin was great. Carlos our steward was fantastic!
