SparklyBubble Cruise Review on Carnival Breeze on Jun 05, 2016

Everyone has their own opinions about service, food, value etc! We have cruised mostly with Carnival and we are happy with the service that Carnival provides, we have never experienced really long lines and it depends on when you go! There is a lot of dining options and you can skip the long lines just do a little planning! Since we haven’t cruised RCCL I can’t comment on the MDR service however we have experienced great service with Carnival 9 times out of 10! My expectations are high! And Carnival has delivered. It’s sad really the comparison all the time to Carnival and Royal any holiday is great and to each their own!

Just because they’ve only used carnival doesn’t mean they’re not allowed to love it. You don’t have to use other cruises to appreciate good service if they’ve always received it from carnival.

I get it, but standards for dress between RCCL and Carnival aren’t that much different in my opinion. I think your assumption about RCCL being more formal than Carnival are probably wrong. We have cruised twice on Carnival, once on NCL, twice on Holland America, and over twenty times on RCCL. We have cruises booked in the future on all of these except NCL. My opinion about Carnival is still being formed, but one thing is clear. Main dining room good and service is not at the level of RCCL. We just got off Dream and did Fascination last Spring. Lines are too long in buffet for almost any kind of food. For some reason people on Carnival seem to like to form long lines to pick food from the buffet. Not that way on RCCL. Standing in long lines is a gigantic negative for me personally. Just some thoughts. You should try RCCL once and form your own opinion as should anyone. There are some things that I like about Carnival.

LOVE CARNIVAL!!!!

You are correct. My wife and I have multiple friends who have been on other cruise lines in the past. According to their reports on Royal Caribbean and Disney, my family is getting the best value for dollar. We are not the dress up and have a formal dining family. We never have been and that probably won't change. We have to do all that for our employment. When we are on vacation we want to lounge and relax. As far as service, we have never experienced any problems or service issues. Again, we are on vacation so my wife nor I stress out about things. We will be trying out Disney cruise lines when my daughter turns 6. She is to young right now to fully enjoy all that the Disney cruise has to offer.

According to your past cruises list, you’ve never cruised anyone else. How would you know how they rate against others? I don’t find their food very compelling and we have had service issues in main dining room on both of our Carnival cruises.
