Our second cruise of three on this ship,our first could not be faulted(conciege class)-This cruise we opted for Aqua class,and again was superb,but the disappointment being the Blu food.Was it just us,--We stuck it for four days wishing for better but in the end gave up when I received my entree of lump crab rissotto that looked,tasted and smelt terrible.Having eaten in the silhouette restaurant on the previous cruise we managed, via the Maitre Dis ,to arrange that as our main restaurant.Oh what bliss--Tasty food again with plenty of choice-Smiles on faces again.Now why was this?Was it the "Kings clothes" All Blu comments are favourable being "healthy options food" and give the waiter and his assistant due, they tried to please with alternatives, seeing the "food" we left, but we had to be honest having cruised many times before,the food failed yet the service and attention and ambiance was superb =we were sad to leave it.
Enough on that-the destinations were excellent-cabin service superb-All staff a --tribute to the company-They aim to please.The chief engineer's invite to the engine control room was a nice surprise.
Entertainment with one exception was excellent,the exception being the American black comedian-jokes being in bad taste{now i'm back to blu food again}
Cabin shower with sprays couldn't better, and the Persian garden was paradise.Going again in may but conciege class for the silhouette eating experience unless someone knows better!!!
