![]() ![]() The food was far superior compared to NCL. Two on Celebrity and one on Royal Caribbean. I’ve been on 3 other cruises, post Covid. If food is important to your cruise, either manage your expectations or skip this cruise entirely. Both had very good food quality and service. We also ate at Cagney’s and the Brazilian restaurant. The food taste in the buffet was good overall. I found myself scraping food from the bottom of the serving dish to find something semi-warm. Many options that were prepared okay, but more often than not, the food was cold to barely warm. After a few days we gave up on main dining and ate at the buffet. Most were cold and it was obvious NCL was implementing cut-backs. Many of the appetizers were okay, but the main dishes were terrible. The dish was exceedingly sweet and had an odd taste. Had a beef short rib entree that consisted of maybe 2 spoonfuls of shredded beef and pasta. Beef dishes were tough, literally shoe leather tough. I felt sorry for the wait staff as it was obvious they were stretched pretty thin. This would include the main stream cruise lines, including Carnival. That being said, the food and service in the main dining room for this cruise was by far the worst I’ve had in over 20 cruises. Kudos to NCL for offering this up as an option. When most of the masses head to the buffet for lunch on embarkation day, we try to use the main dining room. Our first experience was in Taste, one of the main dining rooms. Let’s face it, many of us plan our days around the meals, with food being a big part of the cruise itself. Had boarding group 2, but we couldn’t board until about noon. We arrived at 9:05 and we’re one of the first to go through security. The only ding against the process is that we had a 9:30 AM to 9:30 AM check in time. Online check-in was seamless, checking in at the port was easy and the safety/muster drill was streamlined. I’ll rate on a scale of 1 to 5 various categories on my experiences. Some background on my cruise history, I’ve cruised 20+ times on various cruise lines, including 3 Caribbean cruises on the Getaway and 1 Mediterranean on the Star. I just disembarked the Breakaway, 7 night western Caribbean and here are some of my thoughts. ![]()
