My Most Disappointing Meal: A Mediterranean Cruise aboard Arvia

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.
