Dining

 

We had requested and received early sitting and a table of 8. We were on the third floor of the dining room (Magic Flute) at a very congenial table, consisting of a family of 4 from PA and another couple from CT and ourselves. To show how much we enjoyed each others company, we were always the last table to leave the dining room

 

Our waiter, a young woman from the Philippines was very sweet and went out of her way to be accommodating. One of our table-mates had an allergy to eggs and mayonnaise and was a diabetic and she always made sure to serve him food that he could tolerate

 

We only ate in the dining room for dinner (although the others went there for breakfast and lunch on the 3rd floor –open seating). The only way to describe the food was fantastic. There many occasion in which I and others had two starters, a salad, entrée and of course dessert. Not only did you have the choice of the daily entrees, but also alternate entrée choose such as pasta baked chicken, salmon, and Black Angus steak the you could choose if you didn’t like any of the entrees of the day. The daily entrees included prime ribs, rack of lamb, lamb and veal shank, mai- mai, veal parmesan, chicken picata, and of course lobster tail , just to name a few.

 

Several times during the cruise the entire dinner room staff sang and even danced for us.

They really tried hard to entertain us.

 

We started to have breakfast and lunch in the Windjammer but when it was closed because of the grilled lunch served on the private island in Haiti; we found a café on deck 5 that we frequented from then on. They had pizza and wonderful sandwiches, delicious coffee and fabulous desserts.
