Creator's Key Takeaways
If you're doing one specialty dinner on your cruise, make it this one.
Dinners are solid, but the lunch value is hard to beat.
You may want to skip this unless you're craving sushi. It lacks the habachi and the entertainment experience.
I do recommend it, but I only recommend it if you plan to eat specialty at least four nights.
