At least it was not BO's Fishwagon. That's where DW and I will be eating a soft shell crab sammich on Nov 16th! :D

Thats gross! I have worked in a few resturants and if you guys knew half of what I know you would never eat out again! LOL

We loved that bar-been going there for the last few yrs, but never ate there--just drank cheap beer. It was a really fun bar.

the alcohol kills what ever is happening...

One major reason on a cruise we tend to eat all of our meals on the ship.

For the most part, I highly agree . . . with my one personal exception of the onboard Mongolian stations. A potentially very dangerious situation going on there on multiple CCL ships. :(

 

That's one unique situation on multiple ships that meet & exceed food service standards in many ways. That one location is a definite Achilles Heel on several ships. I don't recommend eating there unless you force some issues on the way the cooked items are served.

Ugh, no such word . . . :o

A potentially very dangerous situation going on . . .

[luddite]

Golly!

And people are scared to eat from a vendor in say, the Dominican. Or somewhere in Mexico?

Can you be more specific about this.

 

DW loves the mongolian station and eats there 3-4 times each cruise.

I haven't worked in a restaurant and love going out to eat, so don't tell me what you know! :eek:

I haven't been to that restaurant, but I have seen many dives and hole-in- the wall food places in ports. As we can see in Key West they regulate them. I don't know about authorities in other countries regarding cleanliness and food prep. (Mexico, for example)

Guy's is probable a palace compared to some of those Caribbean beach food vendors. :D

Ain't that the truth...even the swanky ones....

Ever look at your own kitchen? I'm willing to bet each of us (and yes I'm talking me too) has at least a couple violations no matter how hard we try to keep it clean.

 

Choose carefully and eat wisely...

OUR OWN germs don't count though. ;)

While those may be "critical" they are not bad at all. Sounds like a few bugs in a light fixture. There was a mouse problem that they did not know about and a couple of stupids. You will find pretty much the same type of stuff in a lot of places including some 5* restaurants.
