Mt Washington Cruise Ship Food

My dad was up visiting and as a "late" Father's Day present we took him on the Sunday Champagne breakfast cruise-two Sundays ago-the day of the barn fire. I thought the food was really not good at all. The food was dried, burnt and just not tasty. My husband did go to the make your own omlet part and he said that was good. I enjoyed a few mamossas-they were yummy

While I certainly did not expect "gourmet" dining I did expect food that was not burnt or uncooked. We did mention this to a few of the kids refilling the food bins. These poor kids had their hands full people were so rude to them it totally shocked me.

I have to mention a sidenote here. I have been on the boat many times before but never for a meal. People are always polite and friendly. I could not get over the rudeness of some of these people when they went up to eat. Pushing, shoving. People going back for deserts 3 or 4 times and fighting over apple pie. Taking back whole pies as they were put out. I guess some people take "all you can eat" seriously. These poor kids who were refilling the food bins were treated horribly by these patrons. It was really something sad to see-how people can act like that. I swear if someone had thrown food in the center of the room on the floor-these people would have rioted over it. I did notice a few tour buses when we got off the boat but did not know where they were from. I am not naive to have never witnessed rude people before and know this can happen anywhere and I am certainly not blaming these people's behavior on the MS MT Washington people. God I felt so bad for these young kids. I was just very stunned with this behavior. Mybe to some these actions would not be shocking, but to my family and me they were.

On the good side, the weather was beautiful and we spent most of our time on the outside enjoying the views and the great weather. We also saw the barn fire on the way back
