Cause for Celebration!!

Seafood Shack

We ordered the fried shrimp and crab legs. We had this on the Carnival Sunrise and it was amazing. Seasoned perfectly. What we had on this ship left a lot to be desired. Barely any old bay at all and the shrimp was fried too hard. A bit pricey but we had a taste for seafood and this hit the spot.

Emeril’s Bistro 1397

This restaurant deserves a 10!! We ate here on our first night and we really should have went again but we wanted to try other venues. The fried oysters were just delicious. I had two orders of them. The beignets were almost as good as what I get in New Orleans. My husband had the jambalaya and his only complaint was that it wasn’t a big enough serving.

Chibang!

Excellent! We ordered the Hakka noodles, spicy shrimp and beef and broccoli. Just delicious. The serving size was just right. Nothing wasted and we were satisfied.

Carnivale and Festivale Restaurants (Main Dining Rooms)

We only ate here 3 nights but the food was well prepared and flavorful. We always choose my time dining and the wait on the app would day 40-50 min but we were always seated within half hour. The crème brûlée, baked Alaska, short ribs and barramundi fish were delicious.

Cucina del Capitano

We had dinner here once and I really enjoyed it. The chocolate martini was made perfectly. I had the minestrone soup and the spaghetti carbonara. No complaints. Taste great! The tiramisu was a little too sweet for me so a few bites is all I had of that.

Guy's Burger Joint

I usually love Guys burgers but this time around I wasn’t impressed. We usually have one every day for lunch but this time we only went twice. The taste just wasn’t the same and the fries even seemed to be different.

Miami Slice

For a late night snack, this was okay.

Lido Marketplace

If you are desperate for something quick to eat, stop here and grab a salad. My husband placed this buffet on the level of a school cafeteria.

JavaBlue Café

We went daily for our morning coffee and latte, also for a Spirit of Kentucky bourbon whiskey milkshake and a strawberry milkshake with vodka. We didn’t try any of the pastries or sandwiches.

BlueIguana Cantina

We had breakfast here on one of our port days and the burrito was good. A quick bite before getting off the ship.

Big Chicken

The chicken strips were really good but the fries were wafer thin, hard and dry.

Casino

The smoke free casino is great! The ventilation system is awesome because I never smelled any smoke from the smoking casino and I was in the casino, nightly.
