Creator's Key Takeaways

Celebration Night Dinner didn't quite live up to the hype. In fact, it's probably the worst meal I've had in my 16 years of cruising.

It took around an hour in the virtual queue to get a table.

The dish arrived lukewarm, which again was a bit disappointing.

Our mains were served just 4 minutes after our starters.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Be prepared for potential long waits at dinner on formal nights.
βœ“Don't expect bread to be automatically served; you may need to ask.
βœ“Enjoy the sorbet for a reliable dessert option.
