Food and Dining

1 out of 5

No happy hour. The food was equivalent to a school cafeteria. We were on the ship for Thanksgiving dinner and it was the worst Turkey dinner I have ever had in my entire 40 years.

Onboard Activities

Pools were disappointing. Very small.

Epic show was good. The singers were very talented but the shows were too repetitive.

We have been on 70 cruises now , and have to agree fully , the food in the MDR has gone way down hill . , and the service is at a snails speed .

But you were on a cruise for Thanksgiving, so you are doing better then 99% of us. So in retrospect you had a great Thanksgiving vacation but the food could have been a bit better. But everyone knows you don’t go on a budget cruise line for the food anymore, those days are long gone.

My family and I were also on this exact sailing. I have to agree the meals were not as yummy as other ships we’ve been on. The activities were repetitive, and there was rust everywhere. I know she’s an older ship, but she could use a good overhaul. Though the aesthetics and food weren’t the best, we still had a wonderful time! We still love CCL!

I love everything about Carnival but the MDR dinner food/experience. So I budget eating other places for dinner...steakhouse, sushi, seafood shack etc.

I just got off my 20th Carnival Cruise and have two more planned for next year. I've never had a problem.... maybe you should try a different form of vacation you seem hard to please

I have to agree. We went on a Thanksgiving cruise in 2016 and it was the worst Thanksgiving meal I've ever had.

You might try another cruise line if you were unhappy.

We've been on the Carnival Conquest five times. It is one of our favorite ships. We had no issues at all and thought the food was very good
