Review summary

I used to say Carnival had great food....now I must say it is the worst food I’ve ever experienced on a cruise line. The only saving grace is the Deli ( best grillcheese), Blue Inguana (great fresh Mexican food), and Guy’s Burgers (to die for) Ran out of eggs and bacon breakfast buffet. Who doesn’t have granola...the server were great in the main dining room but food was so subpar. So many areas of the ship had sewer smell that was nauseating. The suite 7317 was great,roomy, Jury our roomattend was attentive and meet all our needs. Only 2 shows for 6 day cruise seemed not enough. I have cruised with Carnivalover 50 + days and I would think twice before I would go back on carnival.....sometimes you get what you pay for!

I agree with jallawzy, great to worst? And I've been on8 cruises and never seen a buffet run out of eggs or bacon.

Other posts from your same ship have been great. Ship great, food very good. I guess it's each shipmates opinion.

I see 3 cruises that you have taken with Carnival that add up to 16 days, not 50. Maybe you are confused about their food also

I see this a lot - and it's a comment that gets posted for all the big 3 lines. For Carnival, the MDR food really seems have been the same choices for years; but I've seen a lot of variation in how it's prepared and the temperature it's served. But has it really gone from great to worst (And I'm talking MDR. No buffet has ever been great)
