YouTube Video Description

In this short video, I present an option that is not open to most of the audience sailing with Mano Cruise Line, on the Crown Iris cruise ship, but shows the company's ability to create a dining experience that is similar to dinners on international cruise ships. Anyone who knows me knows that I prefer the meals in the ship's main restaurant to the buffet meals. However, the meals on Mano Cruise Line ship, the Crown Iris, are buffet-style only, in light of the preferences of the local market. And indeed, the buffet on the ship is extensive and varied, with dishes you won't always find on international cruise ships. But it's still not the experience of a restaurant meal, with a menu, waiters, and elaborate dishes. But it's certainly possible if you manage to get a reservation for the captain's table one evening, or if you choose to go to the restaurant on the ship for an additional fee. At my last cruise with Mano, I received such an invitation, to the captain's table, which was prepared for us in the center of the main dining room of the Crown Iris.
