Creator's Key Takeaways

That's crazy that this is free for lunch. It's good stuff.

The flavor was really good. The temperature was really good. I actually did what Shug did, I rolled it up with the fork.

The bread and bread's a an epic fail. It was cold. I wanted garlic toast or something with my spaghetti.

Is this Pasta Bar one of the best free meals on the ship? I would say no.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try rolling the noodles with your fork to make them easier to eat if they are thick.
