I'm going on a MR cruise on the Wonder on the 5th of Feb. I'm so excited as this is my honeymoon cruise! I enjoy reading the different cruise reviews and finding out neat little tips, but one thing thats seems to be all around is that the food on the Wonder is terrible! Now I'm really worried that we are not going to be able to enjoy anything we eat during this cruise as disney seems to be the broadway of the sea in entertainment, but the McDonalds of the Sea in food... Anyone got any advice on this? Idk what advise you could offer... if it's bad it's bad i guess... I just want to say I'm worried!:confused:

I would suggest you read the the Disney wonder MR topic on this same page. I think it will put your mind at ease.

I've been on the Wonder twice, and enjoyed the food both times. If you are a foodie who enjoys gourmet only, you might be disappointed, but if you also like to eat at Olive Garden, Chili's, Carrabba's, etc. you'll be just fine. It's at least as good as (and often better than) those, only prettier and with better service. :D One thing to remember is that if you happen to dislike what they bring you, tell your server - they will be happy to bring you something different. I also often ask my server what they recommend... they know what is consistently good on the ship.

 

Have you booked Palo? Now that's a foodie experience! :)

 

Have a great cruise!

I wouldn't put it at McDonalds levels. Id say somewhere above Dennys and depending on the day closer to Claim Jumper or Houstons for quality, not necessarily originality. Palo for dinner was like a flat Italian place. Brunch and Tea were a different matter.

I reject your statement that Palo's was just a flat Italian place. It was so much better than an Olive Garden, Macaroni Grill, or Carrabba's..

Well, I am not picky, nor is my bride. And i booked both Brunch and Dinner at Palo's! I'm looking forawrd to it!

Not having any of those around Ill have to say a local independent Italian place. We did have an Olive Garden once but it seems the locals thought so highly of it compared to the other Italian offerings it lasted about a year.

[hexdragon]

Well where I am, "local independent Italian place" covers a LOT of ground. :p

Unless you get into the high end of the local restaurants, Palo has them beat easily...

When the Wonder was going out of Port Canaveral, FL it never had the bad reviews like it is having out of LA. It had great reviews. So glad it is coming back to FL. I enjoyed the food on her when I sailed and loved eating at Palos. Wish you a great honeymoon!

Book tea at palo's too. The dcl food wasn't that good but it has been improved over time but it takes time to change the impression. The dining room food is very good. The buffet is buffet food and the places around the pool are like nice fast food - burgers and fries. Since it is your honeymoon you may want more room service any way.....;)

Well I am about 2 weeks out and am really looking forward to the food. I have book Palo brunch and Palo dinner. Tea was all taken up but thats ok.:)

You may be able to get one once you are on board.
