2.00Just didn’t get served, we had a middle table and you get seated and served by your table waitress or waiter and as they served three tables either side, it ended up with one of the other tables asking them why not serving then they said oops sorry but then never got any better including meals , drinks etc so half a hour back from docking did I not give the manager in charge a blast as he said there was supposed to be a waiter in charge of your table, still not sure who that was yet but won’t be back , I even went to the bar to get a drink when I had none earlier on and they said will get the waiter to you and that didn’t happen and by then a lot of people where eating, just ruined the night.

5.00Just been on this cruise and what a wonderful experience. Relaxing evening in a lovely setting watching the sunset whilst enjoying a lovely buffet. The food was plentiful and very tasty and a great opportunity to try some Australian cuisine. The food was served before the sunset, so got to go up on the top deck to watch after having main course then came back for more. Would definitely recommend. Thanks to Erica for looking after us
