Could only agree with jsiddique. A great ship and cruise badly let down by the standard of food in the main dining room. The worst Caesar Salad imaginable - Schnapper cooked until it was tough and virtually inedible - main course ravioli the size of which I would normally receive as an entree - shallow dish entrees which provided insufficient food to whet the appetite.

However, breakfast in the main dining room was fine and the Windjammer buffet restaurant provided a reliable alternative for both breakfast and lunch but it could not provide the ambience that we would have liked for dinner, in particular on the evening designated for formal dress.

However, the assistance and attention to detail offered by staff was, without exception, exceptionally good as was the cabin accommodation ànd the elevator service which, although under extreme pressure, coped well with the demand. It was a pity that we were let down by the food.
