Creator's Key Takeaways

I was on the joy last year and my food experience wasn't great went back this year and it was much much better

my goal here is just to let you know what my experience was this is my experience on a 7-Day Cruise in 2024 in July

the food was great for me um I didn't have any issues I didn't eat dinner in the buffet but I did eat breakfast and lunch a number of times

I had a great experience there again all in all I think the food was great in the Manhattan room I was very very pleasantly surprised

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid the buffet on embarkation day and try the local or main dining room instead.
If you're solo, be aware that you might feel rushed in restaurants.
