We only docked in Ocho Rios. The ship's deck crew were quite experienced in helping all types of travellers on and off the boats. We join other travellers who say that Westerdam food is excellent. We gained about 2 - 3 pounds from this week. Breakfast and lunch are open seating in the dining room or cafeteria style in the two other restaurants.
Dinner is the only meal with specified sittings in the dining room.
The wine list is respectable. One has to marvel at the ability of the kitchen to prepare such a variety of meals offered at each dinner. Each sitting is around 750 people sitting down at the same time for a full meal. We guessed that the kitchen staff miscalculated the Christmas dinner when they offered turkey, lobster, and beef wellington, with the expectation that most would order turkey. In our table's area, the orders were one turkey, six beef wellingtons, and ten lobsters.
