Overworked and overwhelmed but Carnival Corporation is the only cruise line other than Royal Caribbean to be ranked as a best place to work according to Forbes

Sorry you were so disappointed. The Excel class ships are our favorites! So many dining options…in addition to traditional MDR and Lido Marketplace, there’s Shaq’s Big Chicken, Guy’s Pug and Anchor, Cucina del Capitano, Chi Bang, Guy’s Burgers, Street Eats, Blue Iguana…all free! Plus additional restaurants for a minimal fee…Fahrenheit 555, Rudy’s, Emiril’s…definitely not “typical fare”.

Nope. Not typical Carnival food. This ship has multiple restaurants unique to this ship and in most cases, at no extra charge. Sounds like you failed to take advantage of them. Big miss on your part.
