Review summary

Carnival is cutting corners in the wrong places! The ridiculous show time which is “mandatory” for wait staff left food covered on trays while performance is on!

Pretty smooth

Consistently cold food! Sent back entrees several times. Staff worked their fingers to the bone but couldn’t help what came from the kitchen

I dislike the show time in the MDR as well, but I've never had trays of food sitting to be cold while it took place.

Oh we LOVE show time in the MDR! We join in and dance and sing and that's one of my fave things I look forward to each cruise. 🎶💃🏼🎉

Why get upset about showtime? It is always fun and we dance with the staff.

Being at your first cruise. How would you know what Corners were cut? I think you're too uptight. it's time for you to keep your feet dry. Cruising's only for fun people.

We also enjoy "Showtime". Its kind of ridiculous what people get upset about. Oh well, to each his own

Omg, what kind of person can't enjoy "show time" in the MDR?? We look forward to it, and get up and dance too.
