Review summary

Definitely Expected Better From Carnival considering we have sails with them before . The food is what upset me the most , small portions , not seasoned well nor did it taste the best. The drink package only limits you to 15 drinks a day, including sodas and you can only get a drink every 5 minutes, it doesn’t matter if it’s alcohol or a soda . That was the worst part to me . The pizza open late night was not good at all either. Overall everything else was pretty good. Ship was cleaned and maintained consistently , guest services was very helpful and some of the ship staff could have been a tad rude at times but i understand how working can be frustrating sometimes.

...I wouldn't complain about small portions...regardless half of the people will waste food....all which results in HIGHER costs that WILL get passed down to us...so Im more than ok with small portions...I'd rather see people going for 2nds and 3rds knowing they arent wasting food.

I meannnnn if 15 alcohol drinks a day for 1 person with unlimited other options (soda etc) is a concern, there is a bigger issue lol. As for food portions, like a previous poster said, get more. You can get several appetizers, small plates, desserts and 2 entrees...you can even pay a small fee to have more than 2 entrees if you are that hungry. I agree the food isn't overly seasoned BUT they are cooking for the masses so they have to consider all food preferences, restrictions etc. it's easier for you to add salt/pepper than someone with a restricted diet to remove it.

You are soooo wrong on the drink package! It's 15 alcoholic drinks a day with unlimited soda, water, specialty coffee and shakes! As for the food?? Small portions?? Then get more lol....

Thanks for the review. Is the drink limit of one drink every 5 minutes a real concern?
