Creator's Key Takeaways

Ocean Blue is located on Deck 8 midship in the little 678 place there uh it overlooks the uh you know the rail there so you can look out there is outdoor seating and indoor seating this restaurant in my opinion is excellent

I had the striped bass was very good it was a little bit underseasoned I don't mind that I can certainly add salt and pepper on my own I'd rather be under seasoned than over seasoned so um the fish was cooked perfectly it was excellent

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use your Latitudes voucher for specialty dining, but be aware that some restaurants may have strict rules on what you can order.
Food Republic is a great spot for a quick meal with minimal interaction, using the iPad ordering system.
