Cruise Food?

Sister Lynn, asked me, "Why don't you tell 

about the food onboard the cruise?"

Fine dinning rm.  The menu said Mexican Enchiladas. Turns out it was 2 refried bean soft tacos
with nothing else.  de nada.  I ate one bite and gave up.  #Sad

This guy stopped buy my table (fine dinning) to ask if I might want to, "try a very sweet fruit slime shot?"  AFTER i took the offered 'try', he informed me I owed $11US for it....   #Sad&Bitter
A $20us original painting from Roatan, Honduras and an $11 shot glass

fine dinning dessert. banana cream pie

So, to tell you 'about the food.'  There was a bunch of it on the 10th floor at the buffet.  Like a Mall food court without a cash register. Nothing to write home about, except it was ALWAYS there.  Nobody went to bed hungry on that ship.  (it also appeared few had ever missed a meal)  The "fine dinning" on deck 8, had table cloths and reserved seating.  I was disappointed with the quality and selection. (on shore, i would not go back to that restaurant) The menu changed nightly, but didn't ever make me excited.

I'm told that cruise lines spend their money on:  Food, Service, or Entertainment.  The service was good.  Very good.  I didn't see ANY of the entertainment.  (i did sit at a bar just outside the room where they did Karaoke one night.  It sounded like a torture chamber)

that's my report.  Cruiser Skip

fine dinning, Al's 85th surprise.
