    I am hungry after watching this! We aren't huge buffet fans for the exact reasons you stated. We always prefer someone serving the food over self service. Everywhere else looked like high quality tasty food. Afternoon tea looked impressive too! Love that Jolly Olly was only a 4.8%, I prefer those lower gravity beers.

    • @ALifeintheParks
      @ALifeintheParks  Год назад +1

      The buffets are usually fine for snacking but I do prefer a proper sit down meal.
      Afternoon tea was incredible, so nice as a treat. That beer can only be found on P&O which is a little bizarre as it’s brewed not to far away from me. Looking forward to having it again on my next sailing.

    My favourite part of the cruise is all of the food! This looks so delicious, wow that steak looks amazing. I love my steak medium rare. Yum! I've never actually eaten at an Indian restaurant before, but this looks so good!! The masala looks so good, amazing this was one of your best meals EVER! Now I'm super intrigued, wow! Indian ice cream looks lovely too. Awe I love that they serve afternoon tea on the ship. The dining room tips are great! Food looks good too. The mushrooms in puff pastry look incredible. The buffet really is small! I'm not a buffet person at all, we always check it out but then end up leaving to go to other spots haha. We hate the zoo too. It's just too chaotic. Fantastic food review!

    • @ALifeintheParks
      @ALifeintheParks  Год назад

      I would highly recommend trying Indian food, there’s just so much variety and it doesn’t have to be hot and spicy unless you like food like that.
      Medium rare is how I like my steaks too, not sure I could eat it well done though.
      The buffets on ships are usually better than on land but not on this one. Luckily the MSR’s were excellent. Many thanks for watching ☺️

  • @jameskolar9655
    @jameskolar9655 10 месяцев назад +1

    All in all I would say that’s slightly disappointing? I’m due on the Azura in Jan24. I have booked anytime dining, what does that mean? Does it mean the Peninsular restaurant? Or the other ‘club’ dining place? Both looked to be very good, as I prefer to be served breakfast etc than queue up for it. I’m not crazy about sharing tables, like you, but I could get in with it. Thanks for the vid, it’s very informative, just what I was looking for.

    • @ALifeintheParks
      @ALifeintheParks  10 месяцев назад +2

      Anytime Dining means you can eat in either of the Peninsular or the Meridian restaurants and you can either queue up or join a Virtual Queue on the My Holiday app.
      To be honest, we just waited for a table for 2 to become available which was never too long.
      The food in general is very good, not huge portions and stay away from the buffet!
      Many thanks for watching and I hope I’ve answered your questions but if there’s anything else please let me know.
