This video is all about the controversial topic and venue known as The Kitchens on the all new Marella Voyager.
There is no buffet restaurant onboard this ship so check out this video as we walk you through all you need to know about what has replaced the buffet on board and what we and others thought about the change.

    Well done guys in another great vlog. Very well explained. I think the concept of The Kitchen will be a great success and will prevent food waste and is more hygienic. I can well identify the problem with the traditional buffet, after putting varied food items on your plate, once you get it back to the table it doesn’t look very appealing 😂
