While I did not exactly loose wweight, I only put on about 5 pounds that has since vanished. How could this be, not to gain a ton while Cruising.
The secret is to book a cruise on the Italian line, MSC. The ship was the Poseia and, very nice to look at and that was about it. The entertain ment was exceptional a nd was the highlight of the onboard portion of the cruise.
Now to get to the food. Being a European line, the menue was in 4 languages and no matter how you say it, bland is the adjective to describe the flavor. Selections were limited and how dare you ask for additional items. The wait staff was abrom Bali and exceptionally slow. We thought we would try some pasta as, an Italian Chef and crew certainly would come up with some tantilizing flavors. Wrong. Garlic? Basil? Oregano? Never saw it.
QWe actually found that the cafeteria style of eating was of a better flavor and was also hotter and more variety.
So, if you want exceptional talent, and not food, I would recomment this Cruise Line. However, if you want to be treated to flavors and a variety of gouramet food, do not take this line.
The time we had was great. Our friends and us had good ports of call in San Juan, St Maraten, Torabola and Nasseau. We always have a good time on cruising around the various seas and this was no exception.
Heck, we even took in some gym time to rid u of the bloat. The food gave us a ton of gas, and my buddy Marty thought that the food was injected with Helium.
Great time was had and look forward to the next Cruise. However, It will not be on MSC,
