Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
The food in the main dining room is very traditional for a cruise ship. For dinner, we recommend the prime rib.
We recommend to go either right before they close or right when they open to avoid some of those crowd.
We love to go to Sarrentos after those late night shows or the late night nightclub up in Oliver and Twist.
We highly recommend any of the salads available and the steak quesadillas.
