The good thing about a 3 day cruise is that it is too short to get bored with the food selections. We very much enjoyed the great variety of asian food avalable at all meals. My wife was surprised, first time she had congee for breakfast on a ship.
The first night we did the mdr at our assigned time of 5 pm. A little early, but with a 7 pm show, worked out ok. I especially like the mdr because every night they have a vegan starter, main course and dessert. Makes ordering easy and it was very good, as it was previously in 2023 on liberty and explorer. There were plenty of other choices.
The second night, while we were docked in penang, we ate at sechuan red. At lunch we were offered a 50% discount for dinner that night by ariel from the philippines. Perhaps he spotted my wife or heard her speaking ilocano. We had been debating whether to go to a pay extra restaurant on such a short cruise, but 50% helped make up our minds. The spicy sea scallops i had were excellent, got a side dish of garlic broccoli, very good. The wife enjoyed her lobster with noodles, and we both got started with hot and sour soup. We both agreed it was the best food we ever had on a cruise. Therevwas only one other table of 4 guests in sichuan red between 6pm and 7:30 pm.
The last night we did windjammer and enjoyed the wide variety available, as there had been at lunch every day. We are hoping to book spectrum for a longer cruise in the next two years.
