Haha cruise with me on a cruise that have the late night dessert buffet and it will be listed, guess I've got lucky, because it was on all the navigators I had, yet I've only made it to it twice
thank you for posting a great trip report! am looking forward to getting on board next week!
wonderful trip report!! loved reading it!! i was on the same cruise as you! i think i met you briefly!
anyways...we ate at twisted fish too!! it was super yummy!!
Just off the boat today and had the same,exact experience with service and food quality you did...down to the character breakfast. We did complain to the head server and it did change after the first day and a half. We were travelling with other cruisers that have sailed on other lines and said Disney food was really poor in comparison. Palo was excellent however!
We were on the same cruise and I agree 100% about the "character breakfast", and I wrote about it on the comment card. It was more rushed than the previous cruises (Magic 2007 and 2009) we have been on.
Regarding the dining room, this was our 3rd time with this set of menus (Magic 2009, Wonder 2010) and it was the best tasting and quality food. Our head server did say there was a new head chef and the server said this chef was much more stringent with quality than the previous one. I will say our server and assistant tried hard but seemed a little confused at times which was a little disconserting but no where as bad as our experience on Carnival in 2008 when we were the last ones out of the dining room every night.
If you choose to cruise on DCL again, you might want to try having lunch in one of the dining rooms. I personally do not care for BBB (Topsiders on the Magic) but my father loves it.
Another suggestion I made on the comment card was to have the "quick serve places" have longer hours because we had early dinner and would have liked to have something around 10:30-11PM but there were few choices other than room service if you weren't 18 years old.
Overall we thought it was a great cruise and will go on DCL again.
