I apologise for formatting. I am doing this from my phone. This was my parents 30th wedding anniversary cruise. There were 10 of us that went. Embarkation was really smooth. Even the person that checked us in was really friendly and very helpful. While we were waiting on line all boarding was called. Once checked in we walked right on to the ship. Following the tips from other cruisers, we went to the buffet to eat lunch, and tried to find a table in the back (suggested). This was almost impossible. It was like waiting for a table at the old Roosevelt Field food court. We waited 20 to 30 minutes for a table. Once we sat, we explored the buffet. The food was plentiful, and tasted great. The chicken fingers and honey mustard are freaking amazing! The "crack" cream (whipped cream) is the best we have ever had. As you walked around the buffet the stations do repeat, but, this turned out to be a blessing at times. For example, if you wanted the pasta maker at lunch, and the line was too long, walk to the next one where there was little to no line. The recipes changed daily: different burgers, different pizza, different paninis, etc. Food at the other restaurants were awesome too.All 3 of the main dining rooms (complimentary) Taste, Savor, Manahttan had the same menus. We usually ate at Taste, because our favorite waiter was there. Of course, before eating we would have a drink at MIXX bar between Taste and Savor. The best bartender was Dalewin from the Philippines. We got to know him through the week.

O'Sheehans was just ok. Personally it was better on the Breakaway. The servers were scattered and didn't really pay attention when we ordered.

Moderno was absolutely fabulous. The different meat options they brought to the table we're plentiful also. One of the meat waiters would come over and say "My name is Mary, I have a little lamb". Read more
