The food was a disappointment by cruise ship standards. Breads and deserts showed signs of pre-prepared ingredients, mixes, frozen. Main dining room and Windjammer cafeteria there was a fair selection but the quality was moderate. At times little was on offer, especially in mid-afternoon on port days exactly when you might want a late lunch or snack. No pop-up bbq or special food events.

Complimentary beverages were poor, coffee, watery lemonade, watery orange juice from mix or part mix. Fruit selection limited, bananas green. Room service was an additional charge. No good bbq, pizza, tacos etc., option outside of the main venues. Staff are friendly and try hard.

Chops grille the food was good for premium charge if you enjoy steakhouse fare. Izumi was a very disappointing effort if you have good Asian food available by comparison available at home.

Port Reviews

Copenhagen

So expensive! In the tourist waterfront, 3 euros for a glass of water with a meal. 9 euros for a small glass of beer, 26 euros for a hamburger!

Great bargain - rented electric assist bikes from a kiosk rack near the little mermaid snack shop, toured around for almost three hours, charge is per hour, under $20 CDN Total charged per bike for three hours. With electric assist extremely easy to pedal at speed even though the bikes are heavy duty. Bike lanes and paths everywhere downtown. Can be returned at any other of many rack locations.
